Computer Based Testing     

     Applicants have the option to provide answers to the written portions (i.e., PT and Essay) of the bar examination using a personal laptop computer under certain conditions.  The PT and Essay questions will be provided in booklet format, not electronic format.  A software program called SofTest®, developed by ExamSoft Worldwide, Inc. (ExamSoft) will be utilized, which prevents a test taker from accessing any file other than the word processing function provided by the software during the written portions of the examination.  The implementation of Computer Based Testing (CBT) is a direct result of the board’s continuing goal to enhance the bar admission process and technological advancements in the field of testing.
