Bluebook has been experiencing an issue since approximately 8:30 a.m. ET. We’re investigating the matter and hope to resolve it soon. In the meantime, take the steps shared below and monitor this page for updates.

  • If you need to, reschedule or retest on a later day in the testing window. Call us if that’s not possible.
  • Follow the dismissal instructions in your manual.
  • Report a retest irregularity for students who entered the start code and a report-only irregularity for students who didn’t.
