The students' verdict. An independent review of the chaotic bar exams last summer has found considerable fault with Pearson VUE, which delivered the online framework for the exams, and the Bar Standards Board, which hired the company. The BSB stepped in when Covid prevented legal education providers from running the exams as usual, and it contracted with Pearson VUE to provide computer-based testing. Carnage ensued. Students experienced constantly crashing technology, uninterested Pearson VUE helpdesk staff, and perverse invigilation requirements. As RollOnFriday reported in August, a ban on students leaving their computers during the three hour exams resulted in one candidate weeing in a bucket to avoid disqualification.
