New errors were discovered in the evaluation process of the bar exam held in California in February. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
As a result, the results of three candidates were reviewed, and their initial "failed" grades were changed to "passed." Previously, 243 candidates were initially considered to have failed the exam, but after correcting the identified errors, it was revealed that they had actually passed.
Thus, the overall pass rate reached 65 percent, which is significantly higher than the usual 35 percent rate. The February exam was the first to be conducted using a hybrid method of online and in-class formats.
However, many students complained about technical problems, computer malfunctions, and disorder during the exam process. A special company was hired in June to identify the errors, costing $185,000.
In total, approximately $6 million was spent to resolve the issues from the February exam. The California Supreme Court ordered the July exam to be conducted in the traditional manner, and no serious problems were reported this time.
