Laptop Information


When you register to complete your bar exam application, you will be asked "Will you use your laptop on the bar exam?".

  • Answering "No" means that you will HANDWRITE the bar exam. 
  • Answering "Yes" means that you will take the bar exam on a laptop that you provide. We do not provide laptops to examinees to sit for the bar exam.

 

IMPORTANT: The information below only applies to February 2026 Texas Bar Exam (UBE) applicants. ILG Exam360® Laptop Software Registration for July 2026 Texas Bar Exam (UBE) applicants will not occur until June 2026.
