 \nWHEREAS, on April 18, 2025, the Committee of Bar Examiners recommended lowering the raw minimum passing score by two standard errors of measure as compared to the recommendation of the psychometrician which would have approximated the pass rate for each component of the exam individually, and to impute missing answers to address the collective effect of the disruptions because the Committee of Bar Examiners did not believe it would be possible to account for the unique circumstances each test taker faced individually;  \nWHEREAS, the Supreme Court issued an order on May 2, 2025, approving the Committee of Bar Examiners-recommended scoring remedial measures setting the raw passing score for the February 2025 bar exam as 534 and permitting imputation of scores;  \nWHEREAS, on May 5, 2025, the Committee of Bar Examiners recommended non-scoring remedial measures for February 2025 bar exam test takers;  \nWHEREAS, on May 9, 2025, the Board concurred with the Committee of Bar Examiners’ nonscoring remedial measures and further requested that the Committee of Bar Examiners consider additional potential remedies;  \nWHEREAS, the State Bar submitted a petition with the Supreme Court seeking approval of nonscoring remedies in relation to the February 2025 bar exam that was filed on May 23, 2025, and remains pending with the Court;  \nWHEREAS, the Committee of Bar Examiners’ current grading policy is to average the first and second read scores and staff were unable to identify the original rationale for this approach;  \nWHEREAS, a policy decision to use the higher of the first and second read scores for each question would result in 230 additional February 2025 Bar Exam passers;  \nWHEREAS, the State Bar has identified errors in the February 2025 bar exam scoring process that to date have resulted in 13 test takers who had initially been told they did not pass to later learn that they had in fact passed;  \nWHEREAS, some public commenters and February 2025 bar exam test takers have questioned the fairness of imputing scores to those who were unable to submit any content for one or more components on the written section but who otherwise had content on at least four (4) questions, arguing that those who were similarly impacted by the technological issues but scrambled to insert at least a few words or concepts entered were effectively punished because they did not have scores imputed;  \nWHEREAS, some public commenters and February 2025 bar exam test takers have questioned the fairness of imputing scores to those who had blank responses to multiple-choice questions, but who otherwise had answers for at least 114 questions, arguing that those who were similarly impacted by the technological issues but scrambled to insert answers because they had been trained that any answer is better than no answer, were effectively punished because they did not have scores imputed;  \nWHEREAS, some public commentors and February 2025 bar exam test takers have indicated that the absence of, or difficulties using, the cut and paste functionality especially impacted some test takers on the performance test, because the test taker was expected to apply the law that was provided in the file and library which could not be copied into the response block, and which was exacerbated by the inability to view the response block side-by-side with the file and library;  \nWHEREAS, the average raw score for the performance test on the February 2025 general bar exam are among the lowest average raw scores for a performance test on any February general bar exam over the course of the last 10 years, matching but not exceeding the lowest scores in February 2020 and 2021;  \nWHEREAS, some public commenters and February 2025 bar exam test takers have expressed that their approved testing accommodations were not delivered","cbCaikEX8QKGJqUR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikEX8QKGJqUR","pdf",119620,"English","# Recitals\n## Remedial scoring and fairness concerns\n# Resolved Measures\n## Higher score rule and imputed performance scores\n## Delegation for consultant review","[{\"question\":\"What major disruptions affected the February 2025 bar exam?\",\"answer\":\"The recitals cite widespread technological, environmental, and proctor issues that caused unacceptable disruptions for some examinees.\"},{\"question\":\"How do the resolutions change scoring for the February 2025 exam?\",\"answer\":\"For qualified second reads, the Committee adopts using the higher of the first or second read score for each question instead of averaging.\"},{\"question\":\"What additional scoring remedy is recommended for the performance test?\",\"answer\":\"The Committee recommends psychometric imputation for performance-test essays from essay scores, using the higher of the first and second read for that examinee, if the imputed score is higher than the given score.\"}]","CBE-May-30-Recitals-and-Resolutions | PDF",1789959750]
