Not MM: So this is happening

So day 2 of the bar exam is going on right now all across the country.  Day 1 was a disaster.  Most people type the essay questions on a laptop using a software program that locks your computer while it's open.  Then you upload the answer later on.  My H was one of the lucky ones to get his uploaded.  But not everybody has been so lucky:


People thought I was being paranoid when I said I wasn't going to close on a house until I knew my H's exam got uploaded.  I am very very glad I stuck with that!

  • Wow! that's crazy they can't come-up with a better system! I'm guessing everyone has to pay to take the bar as well...hopefully they come up with somethiing to resolve it fairly!

    Yep.  We spent $800 on H's bar application.  And then ANOTHER $120 on a LAPTOP FEE to pay these people directly.  You would think that with every single student using their program paying $100+, they could afford to rent extra server space for 24 hours from Google or Amazon or whatever.

  • Oh my gosh. What a nightmare. One of my best friends is taking the bar in DC or Virginia, I hope she wasn't affected. She's got a great job offer contingent on passing. Glad Mr. Hoffse got his in ok!

    The east coast is the least affected because they finish first with the time zone thing.  That said, H had plenty of friends taking GA and FL that had issues.

    In VA they make them all take the bar exam while wearing a suit.  I'm not even joking.  It's the most absurd thing ever.

    Oh that's miserable! I hope for her sake it's DC! Her firm is in DC, but I think she said DC accepts VA but not vice versa. Clearly we haven't talked much lately, for obvious reasons!
  • Oh boy. I'm glad he got his in! That's just ridiculous!
