During a recent New York bar exam, an applicant suffered a cardiac arrest. Witnesses report that proctors instructed applicants to remain quiet and continue taking the exam rather than summon emergency help. The situation remained unresolved until the scheduled lunch break, and the exam resumed afterward. Although the applicant survived, this incident raises critical questions about preparedness, highlighting a comparison to Florida, where paramedics are present during testing, ensuring immediate medical assistance if needed.
Witnesses reported that proctors told applicants to be quiet and continue with the test rather than act on a medical emergency when a test taker went into cardiac arrest.
Emergency medical resources should be on-site at the bar exam, as demonstrated by Florida where professional paramedics are present throughout the testing day.
