Law.com - First Day of N.Y. Bar Exam Marked by Software Snafus:

Test takers who typed the essays on the New York state bar examination into their laptop computers this week experienced problems saving their work and uploading the files for transfer to graders, the chair of the Board of Law Examiners acknowledged Wednesday.

The board suspects that a flaw in the Secure Exam software provided to test takers by Software Secure Inc. is responsible for the computer glitches, said Diane Bosse, chairwoman of the Board of Law Examiners. Even as the board was administering the second day of the two-day bar exam Wednesday, officials were trying to determine how many test takers were affected by the software problems and whether any of their essays would be lost.

Because there aren't enough pressures when taking the bar exam, lousy software also comes into play. Securexam is the same thing we use for our final exams, and even on our limited scale, and even with requirements to do practice tests prior to exams, we still have people with problems.

As I've previously written, I find the whole notion of locking us down somewhat offensive. However, I guess for the bar exam, with thousands of people, policing the situation in a nearly anonymous environment might be near impossible.
