A law student at my school took the #MPRE yesterday and reported that she had to lift up her shirt and turn around to prove she didn't have cheat sheets strapped to her body. Sure, exam security is important but this is invasive and ridiculous! 1/4
She shared: "It was like getting booked into jail. They even inspected my glasses. Had me pat myself down. Checked my ears but not my mouth. And THEN never took my temperature for entrance like we'd been warned about through repeated emails." - 08/11/2020 MPRE Taker 2/4
I'm furious on behalf of any examinee that has/had to undergo this invasive and overreaching treatment. The dignity of an examinee is no less imp. than the security of an exam. If this account is accurate (and I believe it is) @PearsonVUE and possibly @NCBEX should apologize. 3/4
The #MPRE is a required component for licensure in most states. It is way past time for an exam that is not based on rote memorization and reused equator questions. Open book exams won't require applicants to be strip searched or violated. #DoBetterBarExaminers 4/4
