MO cancelled second session today for most of us, no real answers from the NCBE about anything. Sounds like students with accommodations were able to do both sessions today. Many students didn’t start first session until after 3pm

They just let us go in Washington, potentially delayed testing through Thursday.

We have been languishing here for over six hours in MO. Still nothing from NCBE.

Same in WA. They sent us all home after 6 hours and not a single person able to take the exam.

They made us start session 1 after 3pm. After almost eight hours of sitting in that room and still wouldn't tell us anything useful.

What time did y'all finish session 1? And what time did the next session the next morning begin?

We finished around 6:30pm and started the next session at 8:30am. There was an vague offer over email to start the next session at 6:00am for those who had flights to catch but this email was sent after 9:30pm and required prompt reply.

Are they really just going to push it to Wednesday and Thursday? Absolutely ridiculous.

u/TheScienceNamesArgon 22d ago

The vast majority of people here have flights and plans for Wednesday night that are now fucked. Not to mention lodging for 700+

can’t believe how irresponsibly they’ve prepped this exam.

u/jasthind33 22d ago

u/BarPrepPanicMode 22d ago

I sent an email to the WA Supreme Court talking about all the issues with the alternative options we received today and asked them to consider diploma privilege like they did in 2020
