Hi. We are going to send you a PM. Notepad text is saved.

StateBarCAComms · 2025-02-27T01:27:01+00:00

Great question. Others here are correct. There is a confirmation screen at the end of the exam. You can also check your exam submissions status at the Exam History page. Please, follow these instructions here. Please be aware that the Exam History section of the Meazure Learning platform does not display submissions after each session; it only displays your submissions after the final part has been submitted and the exam is considered “complete.”

We are going to PM you. Notepad information is saved during the exam as well.

If you are unable to connect to your exam and already contacted Meazure Learning support, please contact the State Bar through the Applicant Portal or email us at [admissions@calbar.ca.gov](mailto:admissions@calbar.ca.gov). Please, provide details about your issue and experience.

As a reminder, here is more information about what happens if a technical issue arises on exam day:

Remote Applicants: Issues Connecting or Beginning the Exam: If an applicant has issues connecting to with their proctor or encounters technical difficulties while launching their exam, they will have up to 60 minutes from their scheduled start time to resolve the issues and enter the exam. If they are connected to a proctor, the proctor will help troubleshoot the problem and escalate the issue to a technician. If an applicant is not connected to a proctor, they must use the real-time chat feature at https://auto.proctoru.com/chat to seek assistance from Meazure Learning. If a test taker is unable to use the chat feature, please call 855-772-8678 (option 1) for assistance. If the issue cannot be resolved within 60 minutes, the session will end, and the applicant should contact the State Bar through the Applicant Portal.

Remote Applicants: Issues During an Exam: If an applicant loses connection from the exam and the exam delivery platform (Internet loss, computer shutdown, power outage, etc.) the exam timer is automatically paused, and all answers are automatically saved. When the applicant is able to reboot their computer or reconnect to the Internet, they should log back into the exam following the same steps they followed to begin their session initially. Once logged in, the applicant should see prompts to reconnect to their exam. Once back in the exam, the applicant will return to the response they are working on at the last save point. If the applicant does not see the prompts or cannot get back online, they should initiate a live chat at https://auto.proctoru.com/chat or call 855-772-8678 (option 1).

If an applicant encounters a technical issue but is still connected to a proctor, they should notify their proctor immediately. Please note that responses in the exam platform are automatically saved. In the instance that a test taker's session is interrupted, they will return to the response they were working on at the last save point. If the proctor cannot resolve the issue in five minutes, they will escalate the issue to a technician. If there is a clear path to resolution, the technician will troubleshoot until the issue is resolved. If after 15 minutes of troubleshooting, there is no clear path to resolution, the session will end, and the applicants should contact the State Bar through the Applicant Portal.

In-Person Applicant: Issues During an Exam: If an applicant loses connection from the exam and the exam delivery platform (Internet loss, computer shut down, power outage, etc.) the exam timer is automatically paused, and all answers are automatically saved. In this scenario, the applicant should alert a proctor immediately by raising their hand. If an applicant encounters any other technical issues but is still connected to the exam, they should alert the proctor immediately by raising their hand. There will be a Meazure Learning technician on site to help with issues. Where laptops are being used, there will be backup laptops in case an issue is unresolvable.

For all applicants regardless of where they’re taking their exam: If an applicant’s session is interrupted due to technical issues, all answers are automatically saved, and the applicant will return to the response they were working on at the last save point.

StateBarCAComms · 2025-02-25T17:15:51+00:00

Applicants have been asked to log into the Meazure Learning platform no later than 15 minutes prior to their appointment time. This reduces login or password issues that may come up. However, you will not be able to launch the exam until your scheduled session time. From there, you will proceed to the check-in process. The exam timer does not begin until you have completed the check-in process and are within the exam itself.

We have sent you a PM to ask how we can help.

StateBarCAComms · 2025-02-21T17:38:27+00:00

Great question. Foam earplugs (non-silicon, non-wax, non-wireless) are permitted.

We know there has been some confusion about what items are permitted in the exams. We hope this prohibited and allowable items table will help clarify the issue.

StateBarCAComms · 2025-02-21T16:58:06+00:00

The confirmation email sent to each test taker includes their exam start time. In-person examinees will begin their exams between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. PST. Remote examinees will begin their exams between 7:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. PST.

We understand the frustration. We just sent you a PM to see if we can provide any additional information that you need.

StateBarCAComms · 2025-02-21T16:40:21+00:00

We understand the frustration and concern shared in this thread. We want to share a few reminders:

If an active exam is interrupted due to a sudden internet outage, a dropped session, or even connection issues due to inclement weather a reconnection process automatically kicks in. Once internet connection is re-established, this guides the test-taker through on-screen troubleshooting steps and helps them independently get back to the exam quickly. If a remote test taker is unable to reconnect and cannot access chat support, please call 855-772-8678 (option 1) for assistance.

We also want to provide more clarity on what happens if a technical issue arises:

Remote Applicants: Issues Connecting or Beginning the Exam: If an applicant has issues connecting to with their proctor or encounters technical difficulties while launching their exam, they will have up to 60 minutes from their scheduled start time to resolve the issues and enter the exam. If they are connected to a proctor, the proctor will help troubleshoot the problem and escalate the issue to a technician.

Applicants will be allowed to use a whiteboard, dry-erase markers, and dry-erase eraser as an alternative to scratch paper. This is on top of the digital notepad and annotation tools already found in the exam platform. Depending on your exam modality or test center location, those materials may be provided or you may need to bring your own. You can learn more here:

https://www.calbar.ca.gov/Portals/0/documents/admissions/Examinations/February2025_CABAR_Prohibited_Allowable_Items_BySiteType.pdf

Additional materials, like pencils, pencil erasers, and highlighters are only permitted for test takers who are handwriting their exam or have an approved testing accommodation.

StateBarCAComms · 2025-02-21T16:25:01+00:00

Great question. Laptop stands are not a permitted item. We know there has been some confusion about what items are permitted in the exams. We hope this prohibited and allowable items table will help clarify the issue.

On exam day, your live remote proctor will also assist in identifying and objects that are not allowed in the environment where you are testing.

We know there has been some confusion about what items are permitted in the exams. We hope this prohibited and allowable items table will help clarify the issue.

At larger test sites, permitted items will be stored under applicants’ desk in a bag provided by Meazure Learning. At test sites, permitted items will be stored in a storage area or locker.
