More than 200 people who took California’s bar exam in February will have their scores changed from “fail” to “pass” after a California Bar committee approved new scoring adjustments.

The grading change affected 230 test takers in the State Bar of California’s latest attempt to mitigate the fallout of its disastrous February test, which was plagued with technical and logistical problems. That exam prompted several lawsuits, including at least two filed by test takers and one filed by the state bar against the company that administered the exam.

With the changes approved on Friday, the exam’s overall pass rate jumped from 56% to 63%, nearly double the state’s historical average of 35%.

Some state Bar trustees have expressed discomfort with some of the exam’s proposed remedies and the higher pass rate, pointing to the bar’s duty to protect the public from unqualified lawyers.

The Bar said it faced the difficult task of finding “fair solutions” that maintained the exam’s integrity. The Bar “would never take any steps to detract from its public protection mission,” it said in a statement.
