Computer Testing Information

The following information is provided to the applicants who have registered to take the essay portion of the February 2012 Kentucky bar exam by laptop computers with the following important dates, deadlines and information.  

  • The software company, Extegrity, will be providing the software, Exam4, for the February 2012 Kentucky Essay exam.  Applicants can obtain a copy of the software from Extegrity’s website on the following dates only:

  • PAYMENT OF FEE:  Applicants will be required to pay a fee of $100 to the software company at the time they register and download the Exam4 software. 
     
  • PRACTICE EXAM:  Applicants are strongly advised to submit a practice exam prior to exam day.
     
  • LAPTOP USE:  It is suggested that work computers ARE NOT USED, as there can be security issues that inhibit the performance of the software and have caused applicants problems at the bar exam.  We strongly urge applicants to use either their own personal laptop or a rented laptop computer.
  • USE THE SOFTWARE:  Applicants are encouraged to use the Exam4 software and become comfortable with it prior to the bar exam.  If any difficulties are experienced or an applicant has questions, they must e-mail Extegrity’s tech support.

If an applicant has previously downloaded the Exam 4 software, whether in law school or from a prior bar exam, they CANNOT use the software previously downloaded for the February 2012 bar exam.  Applicants MUST re-register, re-install and pay the $100 fee the current version of the software.  

  • IF AN APPLICANT CHANGES THEIR E-MAIL ADDRESS they must notify the Kentucky Office of Bar Admissions immediately, as most correspondence regarding the use of their computer will be by e-mail.
     
  • IF AN APPLICANT DECIDES NOT TO TAKE THE EXAM ON THEIR COMPUTER, the Office of Bar Admissions must be notified no later than February 1, 2012.
