Ohio Bar Examination
Bar Examination Laptop Program
The Ohio Board of Bar Examiners is permitting the use of laptop computers to answer the written (essay and MPT) portions of the July 2018 Ohio bar examination. Use of a laptop is optional. Applicants who choose to answer the written portion of the exam on a laptop must use their own laptop computers with ExamSoft’s Examplify™ software technology. This technology provides a word processing function during the exam while blocking access to all other programs, files, and the Internet. Applicants will be required to connect to the Internet on Tuesday and Thursday following the exam to upload their exam answers. A nonrefundable $121 fee is required to register with ExamSoft for use of your laptop at the exam.
Laptop registration for the July 2018 exam opens on May 30, 2018 at 10 a.m. (EST) and closes on July 5, 2018 at 4 p.m. (EST).
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Before you are qualified to sit for an exam, you must satisfy all of the pre-exam conditions required in Gov. Bar R. I (e.g., receive final character and fitness approval, file certifications that you received a J.D. and had instruction on substance abuse). You should not construe registration for use of your laptop as confirmation that you have satisfied these conditions and qualify to sit for the exam. Qualified applicants will receive confirmation of their eligibility to sit, along with their exam instructions, approximately two weeks before the exam.
