There will be no remote offerings from the National Conference of Bar Examiners for the February exam, and in the event that a jurisdiction prohibits large gatherings, makeup dates for an in-person test will be offered in late March, the organization announced Monday.
“Due to firm deadlines set by ExamSoft, remote testing using NCBE exam materials is no longer an option for the February exam dates,” according to a press release. ExamSoft was not available for comment at press time.
In June, the NCBE said it would return to in-person bar exams starting with the February 2022 test. The announcement followed various problems with remote bar exams.
So far, one jurisdiction, Nevada, is offering its own remote exam for February, according to the NCBE website. The State Bar of Nevada will have seven essay questions and two performance tests, but no multiple choice questions, according to the state bar’s website.
