Unfortunately, they got so swept up in their innovation that they forgot the order of things — the State Supreme court denied the Bar’s petition to change exam methods. After heading back to the drawing board, the Bar is readying supplies for a redo. ABA Journal has coverage:

California’s Committee of Bar Examiners approved launching a propriety bar exam to be created by Kaplan Exam Services for the February administration and will submit updated petitions for the California Supreme Court to reconsider.

The clock is ticking! The new exam is scheduled to happen in February. If they’d like to actually administer the test then, they’ll need to mind their Ps and Qs. Trusting the process means actually doing the process!
