The eligibility deadline is February 13.  \nApplicant Portal Offline for Maintenance on February 15  \nThe Applicant Portal will be down for maintenance from 6:00 [a.m. to 8:00](a.m. to 8:00) a. m. , PST, on February 15. Please save any updates before then.  \nInformation About the New Test Centers  \nApplicants testing at these new locations should be aware of the following information.  \nCow Palace–Daly City, 2600 Geneva Avenue:  \n• There are limited lunch options nearby, so applicants should consider bringing food to eat during the onehour lunch break. We also expect to have several food truck vendors on site.  \n• This venue is designed to accommodate up to 1,920 applicants at three test centers. When you arrive in the parking lot, look for signs directing you to park near your assigned test center. Leave plenty of time to find your testing location and check-in.  \nState Bar of California–Los Angeles, 845 South Figueroa Street:  \n• If driving to the test center, leave adequate time to find and pay for long-term parking. There are several parking lots and garages in the vicinity.  \n• Note the building address on your admittance ticket. Up to 95 people will be assigned to 845 South Figueroa Street, and up to 30 people will be assigned to 865 S. Figueroa Street next door.  \n• Build in extra time to go through security before you are escorted to your exam space, which could be a conference room, office, or cubicle space.  \nJudicial Council Office–San Francisco , 455 Golden Gate Avenue:  \n• If driving to the test center, leave adequate time to find and pay for parking. There are several parking lots and garages in the vicinity.  \n• Check-in for up to 96 applicants will be on the lower level of the building.  \n• Build in extra time to go through security and find your exam space, which could be on the third floor or the lower level.  \nHotel Fera–Anaheim, 100 The City Drive North, Orange:  \n• This is not a new location, but a name change for the hotel formerly known as DoubleTree Orange.  \nTesting Sites Open for Viewing Before Exam Day  \nApplicants who wish to familiarize themselves with their testing site before exam day may do so from 2:00 p. m. to 4:00 p. m. on Monday, February 26.  \nSince the State Bar will be using larger test sites for this exam administration, more applicants will be at each site.
