Cal Bar Exam update about timing of Mock Exam and selecting in-person/remote site
Hello!
Some important updates for you about the exam. I’m attaching the current (as of 1/8/25) FAQ document. This is very important.
MOCK EXAM UPDATE
VERY, VERY IMPORTANT!
In past exams, the mock exam period ran from the month before the exam to the Friday before the exam (i.e., January 28 – February 21).
According to FAQ 31, this time frame has CHANGED.
There is a two-step process for completing the required mock exam:
• Step One: On January 13, 2025, applicants will receive an email from Meazure Learning to schedule their mock exam. Applicants will need to schedule their mock exams between January 13 and 16, 2025.
• Step Two: The mock exam session will be held between January 17 and January 22, 2025.
Again, note these deadlines. You should receive an email on January 13. You need to schedule the mock exam and you have between January 13-16 to schedule it.
The actual mock exam period will take place between January 17-22.
According to FAQ 41, “Applicants who do not take the mock exam will not be allowed to sit for the exam.”
So, schedule the mock exam on January 13. Whenever you plan on taking it (and I think January 17 is a FINE time to do so), make sure you get it done.
REMINDER: the mock exam is NOT something you study for. There’s no new exam questions. You’re not doing an essay. You’re not submitting anything. And nothing is graded. It’s like playing in a digital sandbox. It’s there so you waive all liability in case your computer craps out during the exam. They have all the leverage. You don’t do the mock exam before the deadline, you don’t get to take the exam.
Again, you MUST do the mock exam if you want to take the bar exam.
Scheduling your exam
FAQ 21 says you’ll receive an email invite from Meazure Learning with instructions on how to schedule your exam ON JANUARY 30. You can then select your preferred test site (remote or in-person), first-come, first served. Make sure to check spam/junk folders for emails from testingsupport@meazurelearning.com or support@meazurelearning.zendesk.com. In fact, just whitelist those emails now.
