17. How do I complete the NYLE registration?

The Board of Law Examiners has contracted with Examsoft Worldwide to administer the NYLE. After an applicant has registered with the Board for the NYLE, the Board will furnish the applicant's contact information to Examsoft. About three to four weeks prior to the administration of the NYLE, the applicant will be contacted by email by Examsoft with the instructions for purchasing, downloading and registering the exam software that is required for the NYLE. After purchasing and downloading the software the applicant will be required to perform and submit a mock exam to confirm that the software works on the applicant's computer. A few days before the date of the NYLE the applicant will be required to login to their account with Examsoft and download the exam file to their computer that will be used on exam day. Applicants must strictly adhere to all deadlines and instructions provided by Examsoft in order to complete their registration for the NYLE. Deadlines cannot be extended.

18. Is there a fee for the NYLE?

There is a $27 fee for the NYLE which is payable to Examsoft.

19. How do I access the NYLE?

In the days preceding the date of the NYLE, the applicant will be notified by an email from Examsoft to download the exam file required to take the NYLE. A password will be required to access the exam file on the date of the NYLE. The password will be made available to applicants ten minutes before the scheduled start of the NYLE. Applicants will be required to be connected to the internet to enter the password into the software. After inserting the password while connected online, the applicant will then open the exam file, type "begin" at 12:00 noon and commence the exam.

20. What happens during the exam?

The NYLE is an open book test, and applicants have two hours to complete it, unless an applicant has been granted extended time by reason of a disability. Applicants are permitted to have access to the Course Materials and their notes during the exam. No backward navigation will be allowed, so once an applicant has navigated to the next question, the applicant may not return to the prior question. Electronically searching the Course Materials while taking the NYLE by using a searchable version of the Course Materials is a violation of Board Rule 6000.13 and may result in penalties including nullification of your registration for the NYLE, nullification of your NYLE score, a period of suspension from repeating the NYLE, and disclosure of your misconduct to the Appellate Division in New York having jurisdiction over your application for admission and to other jurisdictions. At the conclusion of two hours, the exam file will close and the applicant will be prompted to upload the exam file to Examsoft. All exam files must be uploaded to Examsoft by 2:30 pm ET on the date of the exam, unless an applicant has been granted extended time by reason of a disability, in which case the applicant should refer to their Test Accommodations Determination Letter. Every applicant is required to certify that he or she completed the NYLE without assistance from anyone else and that he or she did not provide assistance to any other applicant.
