Some aspects of exams, like time pressure, are positively perverse, he adds. Test takers have only a few hours to assess problems, decide on answers, marshal material and write coherent answers. No time for reflection, research, reconsideration or redrafting. If a lawyer took that approach, says Lubet, it would probably constitute malpractice.
