So, can you use a laptop with TrueOS? Why or why not?
It’s the test software.
It takes over the computer until the test is over.
Apparently it’s not able to on this computer. Test takers could conceivably cheat.
We took the bar exam with paper and a No. 2 pencil and were glad to have them.
When you wrote “Take the Bar” the mental image I had was a scene from “Cheers” with Norm bringing in his lap-top.
in other words some incompetent government contract created the software.
“we are from the government and we are here to help”
In the late 70s had to take a state sponsored test for a Bituminous Concrete (Asphalt) ‘license’ and the ‘rules’ were that if you used a calculator you must get the answer correct but if you did it by hand they checked the formula(s) you used and if they were correct the answer was not always important.
Course in that ‘line of work’ not a whole lot of field people used ‘them thar machines’....
Guess they figured if you ‘knew’ how to figure it out the #s would fall in place.
I still use the calculators for speed but if the answer doesn’t ‘look’ right, I do it by hand for verification.
BTW....Sort of remember that TI costing about 100 bucks and basically all it did was add, subtract and multiply etc...
Today they do logarithms etc, and are stocking stuffers....<: <: <:
I always carry a little six ring binder. No batteries, no update problems, and nobody wants to steal it.
Creators update is very tough on processes it deems malicious.
Detachable keyboard = someone can remotely enter answers.
Take a damn pencil.
As a part time professor who used classroom computers to administer final exams:
I once had a student buy answers to the exam, online, during the exam. Caught him because he didn’t understand some side-effects of copy-and-paste.
Figure he lost over $300 to fail the exam anyway (that’s _without_ the getting-caught part).
