The nation’s bar exam software providers are facing challenges as states seek to move their 2020 exams online. According to Above the Law, ILG tried to get Indiana and Nevada ready for online exams in July and failed; ExamSoft managed Michigan’s exam but experienced crashes and compromises; and Extegrity has now declared it is not feasible to conduct an online fall exam given the current timeframe. Extegrity notified boards of law examiners on July 27 that “it will not participate in administration of remote proctored bar exams in October 2020.” Prospects have not improved since the summer for ILG, which is helping Florida prepare for its fall exam. The company had to cancel a trial exam due to “issues of concern” experienced by those who tried to download the trial software.
