The California law license is one of the most coveted licenses in all of the United States. Unfortunately, the California bar exam has one of the lowest pass rates of all the bar exams. The California Bar Exam is graded out of 2000 possible points and a bar examinee must attain a score of 1390 or above to pass. Examinees who score above 1350 but below 1390 on the grader’s first read will go into a second read. The first and second read scores will then be averaged. If the average of the two scores is 1390 or greater, the bar examinee will pass the exam.
The overall pass rate of the California Bar Exam seems to be improving. For example, the California Bar Exam had an increased pass rate for the February 2022 bar exam to 33.9 percent, which was 7.1 percent higher than the February 2020 bar exam which had a pass rate of only 26.8 percent.

Students often find that they don’t know what to do the night before the California Bar Exam! With no more studying to do, practice questions to tackle, or essays to prepare, many students feel a sense of panic. It’s understandable. For two months you have adhered to a rigorous California Bar Exam study schedule. Suddenly, you’re left with the realization that your bar prep schedule didn’t include the night before the California Bar Exam. We provide some guidance about how to spend your time below!
The actual process of taking the bar exam is often compared to a marathon and not a sprint. That means managing your time, stamina, and emotions over an extended period, rather than expending everything all at once. When it comes to the California Bar Exam, applicants need to manage the test-taking experience over two days. For many, managing the test-taking experience over those two days is easier said than done. A variety of different factors can impact your test-taking ability, confidence, and emotions during the two-day California Bar Exam. So, how can you recover if you have a bad first day of the California Bar Exam? We discuss this in more detail below!
The California performance test on the California Bar Exam gives students a “real world” assignment similar to what they would experience in a law firm setting. The performance test contains a fact pattern with a closed universe of legal materials. Test-takers have ninety minutes to construct an answer to the performance test on exam day. This means that examinees need to carefully manage their time, read the materials provided, and construct a coherent argument that addresses all the legal issues. In doing so, students should utilize as many of the library materials as possible. If you’ve already taken the California Bar Exam and you weren’t able to finish the performance test, or if you’re worried you’ll run out of time on the performance test come exam day, this post is for you!
The California Bar Exam is one of the most difficult bar exams to pass in the United States. Fortunately, for those taking the California Bar Exam after July 2020, you can pass the exam with a lower score.

Additionally, the pass rate for first-time test-takers for the February 2021 bar exam is more than 35% higher than that of repeat test-takers. Therefore, examinees should do their best to pass the California Bar Exam the first time. This article provides you with five concrete tips to help you pass the California Bar Exam on your first try!
