Audit: State Bar missed warning signs before 2025 exam fiasco
The California State Bar's 2025 online bar exam faced severe technical issues, including software crashes and test-takers viewing others' answers, due to poor planning and reliance on contractors like Kaplan, ACS Ventures, and Meazure Learning. The audit attributed the problems to inadequate time, flawed AI-generated questions, and unaddressed pretest glitches, resulting in financial losses and legal costs exceeding $9 million.
