A task force assembled by the National Conference of Bar Examiners has released preliminary recommendations that call for major changes to future bar exams, the ABA Journal reports. The task force is suggesting that the bar exam be delivered online as an integrated test with scenarios to answer questions from, rather than in sections with different formats. Scenarios with a handful of questions could replace the Multistate Bar Examination, the Multistate Essay Examination and the Multistate Performance Test. The NCBE Board of Trustees will vote on finalizing the recommendations later this month. An overview of the recommendations says any changes would take up to five years to implement.
