Bar exam laptop advice i need help.?

I have been practicing law for 36 years. DEFINITELY use a reliable computer on the essays even if you have to buy a new one. This exam is of utmost importance. You will be able to utilize your time much more efficienty if you type your answers. Back in 1975 when I took the Mo. bar exam I was one of about 8 people who used manual typewriters for the essay portion. It gave me a leg up on the hundreds of others who wrote their exams by hand. And do not forget that the most important thing in an essay to is analyze the issue from every imaginable standpoint, pointing out the strenghts and weaknesses of each position that can be taken. Good luck.
