Question about the examsoft snafu...

Curious 0L here: I was telling my parents last night about the bar exam screw-up that led to a lot of neurosis/stress/lost sleep for many bar exam takers last week. Having both taken the bar exam decades ago, they did not understand why/how people left testing centers without submitting their exams. I did not have an answer and after some research could not find one. If anyone out there can explain how this works, it would be appreciated. Again, just curious, I clearly know little to nothing about how the bar is administered.

No ethernet/wifi in warehouses or airplane hangars and cell phones aren't permitted to create a hotspot

The examsoft software locks in your answers at the end of the test. Then you leave and have to upload them by a certain time that night. Some state upload on-site, others its up to you

I feel like the bar should reimburse me for the $15 I had to pay for access to the internet at my hotel.

Seriously? There are hotels in the states that still don't provide free WiFi?

Free wifi is still the domain of the budget and mid-level properties. Top-level properties reserve free wi-fi for customers with loyalty program elite status or as a giveaway for managers who need to make up for some shortcoming. e.g. Hilton Garden Inn = free wifi; Hilton = free wifi for gold and platinum hhonors members.

Yeah any hotel that serves a lot of business customers are going to charge for wifi because they know it'll get expensed every time.
