Should I use computer or handwrite for my bar exam?
I'm sure you all have heard or imagined terrible situations where the power goes out, or where your computer breaks down.
Anyhow, somewhere toward the end of Barbri, I hand-wrote an essay question. It was really painful, and I couldn't get half as much in as I would typing on a computer. But, it helped to know that I could do it if I were forced to.
So, advice is to handwrite 1 or 2 practice one hour essays and get a feel of how it goes. It will help you figure out if you need to spend less time outlining or reading the question if you were forced to handwrite the answer.
