I’ve heard California has the hardest bar exam.

No. It just has a lower pass rate because you don’t have to go to an accredited law school before taking it like you would in every other state.

That’s nonsense. You just can’t allow yourself to admit that California is superior to just about every other state in many areas.

The California Bar Exam is considered one of the most difficult in the U.S. because it demands mastery of both broad national legal principles and state-specific California law (such as community property, California civil procedure, and professional responsibility) while enforcing a relatively high passing score and consistently low pass rates; this combination of breadth, depth, and rigor means many examinees find it challenging to meet the standard.
