A software glitch in Examsoft’s test administrating software created a major headache for law students across the country on Tuesday.

The test takers were unable to complete their exams and upload them to bar association websites. In 20 states, these bar associations extended their submission deadlines to accommodate the unforeseen technological failure.

On Twitter, angry law students vented their frustration by using hash tags like #Barmagedon and #Barghazi and drawing comparisons between Examsoft and the Obamacare website.

Bar Exam Fail: Law grads unable to submit completed tests due to software glitch

It’s Bar-magedon!

Law students across the country endured their own exam hell this week after a glitch in a widely used system to upload bar exam answers and essays temporarily failed, meaning their answers were not uploaded or sent to various state websites.

ExamSoft, the management platform software that handles digital bar exam submissions for multiple states, experienced a severe technical meltdown on Tuesday, leaving many graduates temporarily unable to complete the exams needed to practice law. The snafu also left bar associations from nearly 20 states with no choice but to extend their submission deadlines.

Frustrated law students took to Twitter in the wake of the disaster to air their frustration with ExamSoft, creating hashtag topics like #Barghazi and #Barmagedon and likening the system failure to that of Obamacare website glitches late last year.

“Are the folks at #examsoft the same who did the Obamacare website,” reads one tweet from a Twitter user named @Huerts31.

“Thanks #examsoft for turning the first day into Barghazi,” said one exam taker under the Twitter handle @nickdaisydaisy.

“This is why it’s a good idea to bring your 1946 Smith Corona ‘silent’ portable typewriter with you. For backup. #Barmageddon #examsoft,” reads another tweet from @Qwertz0.
