        <p>The next First-Year Law Students' Examination is Tuesday, October 27, 2026, administered through Prometric. Approved applicants are sent scheduling instructions by email on September 29, and the scheduling deadline is October 18.

        <p>The examination is now entirely multiple choice. The State Bar states it comprises 100 multiple-choice questions, of which 90 are scored, 30 from each of Contracts, Criminal Law and Torts, with the remaining 10 used as pretest items or statistical backups.

The State Bar says the examination tests legal theories and principles of general applicability rather than California-specific rules, and publishes a content map for each of the three subjects. Raw scores are weighted and then equated to a scale with a maximum of 800 points so that forms of differing difficulty are comparable. The Committee of Bar Examiners reconsiders grades only on documented evidence of clerical error, and requests must be made within two weeks of the release of results.

FYLSX runs twice a year, in June and October, unlike most professional licensing exams that book on demand. Only the October 27, 2026 date and the Prometric scheduling dates are confirmed here; the results date and the June 2027 sitting date are inferred from prior practice and are marked tentative for that reason.

The single most common error is preparing for the wrong paper. A great deal of published advice, and some older State Bar material, describes a day of four essays plus multiple-choice sets. The State Bar's current scope and grading page describes 100 multiple-choice questions and nothing else. Candidates who spend their preparation drilling issue-spotting essays are optimising for a format that the examination no longer uses.

Ninety scored questions, thirty per subject

The scoring structure is unusually transparent: 90 of the 100 questions count, 30 from Contracts, 30 from Criminal Law and 30 from Torts, with 10 questions serving as pretest items or statistical backups. That equal weighting means a candidate strong in two subjects and weak in the third is carrying a 30-question liability, and there is no essay in which a well-argued answer can compensate. Preparation time should be allocated to the weakest subject in proportion to the gap, not in proportion to interest. Because the pretest items are not identified, treat every question as scored and do not spend time speculating about which ones might not count.

A scaled 560 is not 63 out of 90 in any fixed sense

The State Bar equates weighted raw scores onto a scale with a maximum of 800 and requires 560 to pass, explicitly to adjust for difficulty differences between forms. The practical consequence is that a candidate cannot convert a practice-test percentage directly into a predicted outcome, and should be wary of coaching material that quotes a specific number of correct answers as the pass line. Build a margin instead. Given historically low pass rates on this examination, a preparation target that merely scrapes a notional threshold on practice questions is unlikely to survive the equating process on an unfamiliar form.

Two 90-minute blocks, and where time is lost

Prometric describes the sitting as questions 1 to 50 in 90 minutes, a 20-minute break, then questions 51 to 100 in 90 minutes. That is 1.8 minutes per question, which is generous by multiple-choice standards and generates its own trap: candidates re-read and second-guess, then change correct answers. A better discipline is a fixed pace of roughly 45 minutes per 25 questions, with flagged items revisited only once at the end of each block. The 20-minute break sits between the blocks, so hydration, food and any medication need to be planned around a single pause rather than several.

The scheduling deadline is a separate hurdle from the application

Applying and being approved does not put a candidate in a seat. Prometric emails scheduling instructions to approved applicants on September 29 and closes scheduling on October 18, and states plainly that those who miss that deadline cannot sit the examination. Rescheduling costs 30 US dollars at 30 or more days out and 60 US dollars from 5 to 29 days out, and is not permitted inside five days. Diarise the scheduling window as firmly as the exam date, and choose between a test centre, the handwritten option and remote ProProctor delivery at that point rather than deferring the decision.

Why the sitting you take matters for law-study credit

The FYLSX exists as a gateway for students at unaccredited and correspondence law schools, and the timing of a pass carries consequences beyond the certificate. As reported by UWorld's bar-exam guidance, passing within the first three consecutive administrations for which a student is eligible preserves credit for all law study completed, whereas passing later gives credit only for the first year. That is a secondary source rather than a State Bar statement, so verify it against the State Bar's own rules before planning around it; if it holds for your circumstances, it argues strongly against deferring a sitting to feel more ready.
