Law students getting ready to take the Bar exam digitally may run into a serious issue: one of the nation\u2019s most frequently-used test-taking software packages, Examplify, is incompatible with Intel\u2019s latest generation of processors.<\/p>\n

In a notice to users, ExamSoft, the company that owns Examplify, writes that 12th Gen Intel processors aren\u2019t compatible with its software. \u201cNew Windows devices containing the Intel 12th generation chipset are triggering Examplify\u2019s automatic virtual machine check,\u201d Examplify\u2019s notice reads. \u201cThese are NOT currently supported. Therefore, they cannot be used for the upcoming July 2022 bar exam.\u201d One user drew attention to the issue in a post on Twitter<\/a>, and included a screencap of what appears to be a notice given to Bar applicants.<\/p>\n

Examplify\u2019s minimum system requirements page<\/a> confirms that \u201claptops with an Intel 12 Gen processor are currently not supported.\u201d It\u2019s unclear when that information was added, but it wouldn\u2019t have been much of a warning even if it came months ago. Who would think to read that page if they have a laptop with all the latest hardware? That\u2019s like asking someone with a 3090 Ti, one of the highest-end graphics cards, to check system requirements before they boot up a game. <\/p>\n

If their laptops turn out to be incompatible, students don\u2019t have a lot of other options. Examplify\u2019s software doesn\u2019t support desktops, Chromebooks, or computers that run Linux either \u2014 only MacBooks that run macOS Catalina or above, or Windows laptops new enough that they offer Windows 10 or 11, but old enough not to come with the new Intel processors. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not yet clear if students had any other warning beyond the message spotted via Twitter. The Bar exam is just two weeks away on July 27th and 28th, and Examplify is the<\/em> piece of software used to administer the Bar<\/a> in many states. According to Bloomberg Law<\/em><\/a>, it\u2019s also used by over 150 law schools across the US for remote testing.<\/p>\n

ExamSoft and Intel didn\u2019t immediately respond to The Verge<\/em>\u2019s request for comment. <\/p>\n
