We might be wrong with some of our interpretations- the stuff IBAB sent us is not always clear, so if you read something another way or hear something different from your processor, please let us know!
We’ll do our best to update this thread.

Unless things are going massively wrong during the exam, we will not be active on this account during the exam.
We also probably won’t be very active over those two days in general unless things are going very poorly.

While it was good that @il_bar did this, it honestly never should have gotten to this point.
If IL had just granted #DiplomaPrivilegeNow like UT, OR, WA, & LA, IBAB may have still been able to also safely administer the UBE to those who wanted/needed a transferrable score...

* In WA, 571 were licensed w/ DP, while ~80 took the bar exam in July and ~50 will took the bar exam in Sept (bit.ly/3kfQQgd). In LA, 427 chose to receive their licenses through emergency licensure; ~300 registered for a remote bar exam (bit.ly/2ZAytuP).

Also in the big #MakeMeSmart this week, you know what I've gotten obsessed with? The bar exam. So turns out, multiple states are insisting on holding bar exams *in person* this month, putting students at risk or ensuring only young healthy probably white people show up. 1/
And that's draconian and dangerous and exclusionary in a pandemic, but it turns out the bar exam *always has been* draconian and exclusionary. 2/ theappeal.org/2020-bar-exam-…
