California Bar Examination – WHITEBOARD! WHITEBOARD! They exist!
Hello everyone,
The Cal Bar updated their FAQ’s on October 30. Of relevance here is #20:
20. I have a disability that requires hard copy exam questions, but I will be using a laptop.
What should I do?
Applicants using a laptop will not have access to exam paper material regardless of
whether they test remotely or in-person. Applicants may request hard copy exam
material as an accommodation for a disability-related functional limitation by submitting
a testing accommodation request through the Applicant Portal. Please use the following
link to get more information about Testing Accommodations.
All applicants will have access or permission to access virtual scratch paper and an 8.25″
x 11″ dry-erase whiteboard for use during the examination. The whiteboard will be
subject to inspection, and larger sizes will not be permitted.
So, looks like you can get a whiteboard to use on the Cal Bar. 8-1/4 x 11 is way better than 2×2!
That said, I assume you must get it yourself. So that should mean you can get a whiteboard marker, an
eraser, and the whiteboard. Get one now so you can practice on it.
Still not perfect, of course. What if you need more than one page to complete your outline? And how do
you transfer that info? Is there a better way? YES. Want more information? Contact me and let’s talk about
a tutoring program!
And how is a one-page whiteboard going to help you on a PT, when you normally need 2-3 pages to do your
inventory of the Library? 2-3 pages for the inventory of the File? And 2-3 pages for the Outline? How does
the one-page whiteboard fix that? Want something better than a whiteboard? I HAVE ANSWERS! Contact me now.
