Bar exams involve a significant element of speed and time management; being able to consult reference material on a secondary device doesn’t give you a huge advantage and may not be worth the risk of getting caught. Some bar exams are open book anyway. But being able to send a copy of the whole exam to someone else who can work on it in parallel, and send you completed answers to paste in, would give you a huge advantage. Locking down the only computer that can read the exam or submit answers creates a significant barrier to this.
