Test takers reported issues like platform crashes, screen lags, and problems with essential functions such as copying and pasting text.

The State Bar of California acknowledged these failures and offered apologies, describing the problems as "unacceptable."

The new exam was promoted by the State Bar of California as a cost-cutting measure that would offer test takers the choice of remote testing.
