Sen. Thomas J. Umberg is advocating for the State Bar of California to abandon its new multiple-choice format following a problematic February bar exam and return to traditional testing methods for the July exam. This shift comes amid significant apprehension over the new exam's effectiveness and overwhelming test taker support for remote testing options. However, State Bar officials like Alex Chan suggest that reverting to the National Conference of Bar Examiners' tests is not feasible due to exam security protocols and test-taker preferences.
Sen. Thomas J. Umberg stated that reverting to traditional methods is necessary in light of the February exam debacle until new methods can be adequately tested.
Alex Chan expressed doubt about reverting to the NCBE exams soon, emphasizing the importance of remote testing, which the NCBE does not permit.
