Licensing exams that hold up in public
Exam records, deadlines and accessibility settled before the board meets.
A board answers to applicants and the public at once. Under the U.S. Department of Justice’s ADA Title II rule, state web content must meet WCAG 2.1 AA by April 26, 2027 for entities serving 50,000 people or more, and April 26, 2028 for smaller ones.
What boards juggle every window
Dates set by rule
Exam windows follow statute and board rule, so a late form cannot slip a month.
Public records requests
Requests for scores, item challenges or exam policies need answers from one record, not five.
Applicants across the state
Candidates drive hours to one office exam room, or wait for the next quarterly sitting.
Accessibility on a clock
Paper accommodations do not carry over online, and the Title II dates are fixed.
Where boards usually begin
Online testing platform
Items, forms, accommodations and scores kept on one versioned record for each applicant.
Remote proctoring and integrity
Record-and-review or live sessions, so applicants can test near home on the same form.
Exam Launch
One exam, such as jurisprudence, moved online in ten weeks with a pilot before it counts.
Standard Setting Study
A documented cut score study, written for the board to adopt in an open meeting.

Questions licensing boards ask us
Can exam records be produced for a public records request?
Yes, quickly, though your counsel decides what is releasable. Scores, attempt dates, accommodation approvals and appeal decisions export per applicant, while secure item content stays in a separate store so staff can withhold it where the law allows. Each export is logged with who ran it and when.
Does the platform meet the Title II accessibility rule?
The candidate interface is built to WCAG 2.1 AA, the level the rule names, and tested with screen readers each release. Whether your board complies depends on all of its web content and your counsel’s reading, so we give you our accessibility notes and known limits in writing for your own review.
Do public boards pay less?
Yes. Public, nonprofit and education programs receive 15 percent off platform fees. The platform starts from $6,000 a year for up to 2,000 sessions before that discount, and proctoring from $6 a session for record and review. Every proposal is fixed-fee and itemized, so it fits a budget request line by line.
Can applicants test from home instead of at the board office?
Yes, if your rules allow it. Remote sessions use the same form and record as office sessions, and record-and-review flags are reviewed by a trained person within two business days. Applicants without a quiet room or a steady connection can still book a seat at a test site.
