2020年2月美国加州律师执业考试即将来临,毫无疑问,对参加考试的考生来说,除了带齐相关证件以外,熟悉考试纪律及注意事项也很重要。


为避免因为不知道考场规则而失去考试资格,小律今天给大家整理汇总了2020年加州律考考试规则及以往的考试经验。


希望各位考生能遵守考场纪律,牢记考试经验,做到有备无患,胸有成竹,在考试中发挥最好的水平!



01.

考试时间


考试时间:2020年2月25及26日;


进入考场时间:所有用电脑考试考生,不得晚于每天早上8:20坐在座位上。所有考生不得晚于8:30坐在座位上。请安排至少提前20分钟找到你的座位,下午考试的开始时间一般都在下午的1:30。


但是,上午考试结束时请留心考官宣布的下午考试开始时间,可能会有变化(此段为个人经验)。周二的考试一般都在下午5:30结束,周三的考试一般在下午五点结束。所以,应在周三去考场前将宾馆房间退掉,然后将行李寄存在宾馆处,因为有些考场不提供大件行李寄存。


Applicants using laptop computers must be seated no later than 8:20 a.m. All applicants must be seated no later than 8:30 a.m. You should plan to arrive at least twenty minutes early to locate your assigned section or room. The afternoon sessions generally begin at 1:30 p.m.;


The examination is scheduled to conclude on Tuesday at approximately 5:30 p.m. and on Wednesday at approximately 5:00 p.m.




02.
考试内容

考试内容:周二,考生在上午需要回答三篇Essays, 总共时间为三个小时;在周二下午的考试中,考生需要在三个半小时里完成两篇Essays, 一篇PT。

每篇Essay预期在一个小时内完成,PT预期在一个半小时内完成。所以考试的第一天需要携带电脑!

On Tuesday, applicants will have three hours during the morning session to answer three essay questions; during the afternoon session, applicants will have three hours and 30 minutes to answer two essay questions and one PT. 


Each essay question is designed to be answered in one hour and the PT is designed to be completed in 90 minutes. The MBE will be administered on Wednesday.


如果考生错过了其中的任何一场考试,则会被视为根本就没有参加过这场考试,考生的书写答案不会给分。

而且,如果考生想报考后续的考试,则也不会被视为是曾经考过试的考生,因此也不享有报考截止日期延长的优惠政策。

If an applicant is absent for any portion of the examination, the applicant will be considered as having not taken the examination; the applicant’s written answers will not be graded; and, if the applicant intends to take a future administration of the examination, he/she will be subject to the same application filing deadlines applicable to first-time applicants rather than the deadlines applicable to immediate repeaters.


考生在考试期间不得穿戴任何帽子,兜帽,面罩,以及任何头饰(但是扎头发的橡皮筋应该可以带进去)。

Applicants cannot wear hats, caps, hoods or any other type of headwear during the examination.


无需经事先批准就可携带进入考场的物品如下(所有物品需接受考官检查):

1.未在上面进行人为涂抹或书写的入场券(这个需提前下载并打印好)
2.非电子笔;
3.非机械铅笔;
4.无声指针手表、非电子显示的计时器以及小于或等于4英寸x 4英寸的时钟;
5.尺子;回形针;荧光笔(不得用于书写答案)
6.吸入器;眼镜(无眼镜盒且不得是太阳镜);
7.泡沫耳塞(但不得与任何机械或设备连接);
8.女性卫生用品;处方药;与糖尿病有关的设备(不包括食品或饮料);一次性小瓶中的眼药水;
9.政府签发的身份证
10.现金(不得有手写文字)、午餐时可能需要的信用卡/借记卡;
11.钥匙;以及通过申请流程所批准的残疾人相关物品。

还可以带上:背部支撑物;骨科垫子;标准尺寸的枕头(不带盒子);一个书架;一个脚托;夹板和背带;拐杖;轮椅;石膏;助听器;张力装置;

以及以下笔记本电脑配件:独立键盘、鼠标(有线或无线)、笔记本电脑升降器/支架,不高于4英寸,还有一个没有文字的纯色鼠标垫。

Only the following items are allowed in the examination room without prior approval (all items are subject to inspection): the admittance ticket with no writing on it; non-digital pens; non-mechanical pencils; silent analog watches, non-digital timers and clocks measuring 4" x 4" or smaller; rulers; paper clips; pen-style highlighters (must not be used on answers); inhalers; eyeglasses (no cases or sunglasses); foam ear plugs (must not be connected to any mechanism or device); feminine hygiene items; prescription medication; diabetes-related equipment (does not include food or drinks); eye drops in single-use vials; government-issued ID; cash (must not have writing on it), credit/debit cards that might be needed for the lunch break; keys; and disability-related items that have been approved through the testing accommodation petition process. You may also bring: a back support; an orthopedic cushion; a standard-size pillow without a case; one bookstand; one foot rest; splints and braces; crutches; wheelchairs; casts; hearing aids; TENS units; and, the following laptop accessories: separate keyboard, mouse (wired or wireless), laptop riser/stand no higher than 4”, and a solid color mouse pad with no writing on it.


在选择题的考试阶段,以上物品都可以携带进入考场,但是以下物品不可携带进入考场水笔,尺子,回形针;荧光笔,背部支撑,骨科垫子,枕头,书架,脚托,以及任何笔记本电脑及其配件。

During the MBE sessions, the items listed above are allowed in the examination room, except for pens, rulers, paper clips, highlighters, back supports, orthopedic cushions, pillows, bookstands or foot rests, and any laptop and laptop accessories.


所有选择手写模式进行答卷(指的是ESSAY)的考生,以及遇到电脑故障而被要求用手写方式答题的考生,必须要用自行携带标准的蓝色或黑色水笔(推荐准备几支圆珠笔,因为圆珠笔写英文很快)答题。

所有考生必须自行携带铅笔(推荐多带几支削好的铅笔)从而参加选择题阶段的考试(实际上ESSAY考试阶段也可以携带铅笔,见以上规则,推荐在ESSAY阶段携带荧光笔,因为PT考试阶段画重点法条和判例部分非常有用)

机械铅笔(也就是自动铅笔)不允许携带。削铅笔刀和单独的橡皮擦也是不准携带到考场中的(所以提前多削几支铅笔备用,防止考试期间笔尖断了,因为铅笔刀又不让携带。另外,铅笔要买那种顶端带橡皮擦的铅笔,因为单独的橡皮擦不让携带)。

Applicants who will be handwriting their examination answers, or who are required to handwrite in the event of a laptop/software malfunction, must bring their own standard blue or black ink ballpoint pens. Applicants must also bring their own pencils (several sharpened pencils are recommended) for the MBE portion of the examination. Mechanical pencils are not permitted. Pencil sharpeners and separate erasers will not be allowed into the examination room.


除了上述提到的不可携带到考场的物品外,请注意考生不得携带:钱包,润唇膏、纸巾、止咳药水/喉含片、口香糖、糖果或其他食物或饮料进入检查室。水和纸巾在考场内有供应。

In addition to other items you must not bring into the examination room, please note that applicants cannot bring wallets, lip balm, tissues, cough drops/throat lozenges, gum, candy, or other food or drinks into the examination room. Water and tissues will be available nearby.


因天气或者考场空调的原因,考场的温度可能会有变化,因此考生应为热或冷的温度做好准备。(考场空调一般都很足,所以准备好厚一点或者稍微薄一点的衣服,薄一点的穿在最里面,厚一点的穿在外面,不穿的时候可以放在椅子上。

注意衣服口袋内千万不要装有考试违禁物品,包括自带的面巾纸都不可以。尤其是手机,容易被误带入,如果万一有闹钟没关,即使手机关机了,但如果考试时响起那是自己作死。。。)

The temperature of the test center may fluctuate due to the weather or the test center’s cooling/heating equipment; applicants should be prepared for either warm or cold temperatures.


一旦通知你考场入场券可以打印了,你就可以让自己的电脑被认证了。需要安装的安全软件(Examplify)必须要装在你的电脑上并且认证措施必须要在2020年2月21日(周五)之前完成。(实际上只要完成软件安装,也就完成了认证。注意安装软件时的通知,会有邮件通知的。)

After you have been notified your admittance ticket is available for printing, you are eligible to have your laptop computer certified for use during the examination. The required security software (Examplify) must be downloaded onto your computer and the certification process must be completed by Friday, February 21, 2020.



若使用电脑参加考试,那么你有责任准时上传五篇ESSAY答案和一篇PT答案(上下午各一个考试文件,共有两个考试文件,实际上在安装时会自动下载这两个考试文件,并且会赠送一个模拟考试文件)。

若未能在公布的最后时间内上传答案,则会从你的总得分中扣除10分。若未能在公布的最后日期的两周内上传文件,则你会得零分。

If you are using a laptop computer to take the examination, it is your responsibility to timely upload your exam files containing your answers to the five (5) essay questions and one (1) performance test (1 exam file for each written session for a total of 2 exam files). If you fail to do so by the published deadline, a deduction of ten (10) scaled points will be taken from your total written scaled score. If you fail to upload your answer files within two (2) weeks of the published deadline, you will be given a grade of zero (0) for each answer that is not received by the State Bar’s Office of Admissions by the published deadline.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS/一般规则


1. 你的考试入场券上面包含你的申请号,档案号和你的NCBE号码。不要在入场券上写任何东西。在你进入考场的时候,你会被要求出示你的入场券(只需携带入场券底部的部分即可。说明:入场券一张纸分两部分,中下部分会有一行折叠线,沿着折叠线裁下的下半部分作为入场券即可)。

★在整个考试阶段,请保管好该入场券。(因为每次进考场都需要该入场券)

Your admittance ticket contains your applicant number, your file number, and your NCBE number. Do not write anything on the ticket. You will be required to show your ticket to the proctor when you enter the test center (please detach and bring just the bottom portion of the admittance ticket). You must keep it in your possession throughout the examination.



2. 建议将可以允许携带进入考场的物品放在一个透明的塑料文件袋内。

You should bring any small permitted personal items, e.g., prescription medication, foam ear plugs, pens, etc., into the examination area in a small, clear plastic bag.



3. 会有指示根据申请号标明座位号,该申请号可在你的入场券上找到。在整个考试阶段,你的考试座位将保持不变。

Signs will be posted showing seating assignments by applicant numbers, which number can be found on your admittance ticket. You must occupy the same seating space throughout the examination.



4. 到达座位上以后,你会发现一个标识牌(类似于胸卡的东西,该胸卡具有小夹子因此可以别在胸前),该标识牌是你在整个考试阶段的标识,并且在你考试的任何时候都会被要求出示(所以需要别在胸前)。该标识牌需别在身上以使考官能够看到。如果你别的位置不对,你会被要求重新别在正确的地方。在吃午饭的时候,要将该标识牌放在桌子上。

★吃午饭时不要将该胸卡带出考场。

另外,考试中途如果需要去洗手间或者出去喝水,请离开座位时不要将该标识牌拿下,要在整个考试过程中佩戴。另外,出去洗手或者喝水时,注意不要离开考试圈定的区域,否则出了这个考试区域,你就不会被允许再回到考试区域和考位上,所以类似低级错误一定不要犯!建议考完整个考试后,好好保管好该胸卡,因为胸卡上的信息对查询成绩时非常方便!

Upon arrival at your seat, you will find an identification badge that will be your identification credential during administration of the examination and which you may be required to show at any time. The badge must be fastened so it can be easily seen by the proctors. You will be told to relocate the badge if it is not placed appropriately. The badge must be left at your seat during the lunch break.



5. 在考试的某个阶段,你会被要求提供指纹。(指纹墨盒和指纹卡考官会提供,请按照考官要求录指纹)。如果你拒绝录指纹,则会向你出示Chapter 6通知(处罚通知)。

★注意:尽管录完了指纹,但是有些考生的指纹会录的不完整,并会要求重新录取指纹,所以注意考官提醒重新录指纹的通知。

At some time during administration of the examination, you may be required to provide your fingerprints. If you refuse to provide the required fingerprints, a Chapter 6 Notice will be issued to you.



6. 在ESSAY和PT考试阶段,你会被要求在每个答题卡的封面的右上角写上你的申请号,名字正体和签名。

★注意:尽管是机考,但是依然会向各位考生提供纸质答题卡。不要在答题卡的封面处做任何标记,写任何结构,答案,时间点或做任何标识。答题纸只是为了监考的目的。

At the beginning of each written (essays and PT) session of the examination, you will be instructed to write your applicant number, name, and signature in the upper right hand section of each of your answer book covers. Do not write notes, outlines, answers, time schedules or make any marks on the inside or outside of your answer book covers. The answer book covers are used for administrative purposes only.



7. 在考试开始之前,你不得根据自己的记忆做任何笔记。(也就是进入考场后且在考试开始前,不要为了防止遗忘在纸上写下自己记住的考点)。如果你使用笔记本电脑考试,在你进入考试区域后不要打开电脑里的任何自己做的笔记或者和其他与本场考试无关的文件。

★注意:进入考场后,不要打开自己电脑上的任何复习资料!只能打开考试用的专用软件!)在每场写作考试中,都会给大家分发草稿纸。

在选择题阶段,不会给大家草稿纸。在你的考试入场券上不要做任何标记,也不要写任何东西。如果在你的入场券上发现有任何书写,则该入场券会被没收,同时你也会收到处罚通知。

You are not allowed to make notes from memory prior to the start of the examination session. If you are using your laptop computer, you may not access any notes or other documents on your computer after you have entered the secure examining area. Scratch paper will be distributed for each written session of the examination. Scratch paper is not permitted during the MBE portion of the examination. You must not make notes or write anything on your admittance ticket. If writing is found on your admittance ticket, the ticket will be confiscated and you will be issued a Chapter 6 Notice.



8. 如果你需要额外的草稿纸或者答题纸,请举手示意考官并向考官索取。在草稿纸上的任何答案都不会被给分。另外,需要注意,做选择题时要把答案圈到答题卡上,选择题一场就三个小时,不会另外给你时间专门圈答案。所以在三个小时里,要把题目做完,更要把答案圈到答题卡上。

★注意:答题卡答题序号的顺序排列,可能上下午场不一样,可能上午场选择题答题序号是上下排列,下午答题序号就是由左到右排列,不要犯低级错误。

If you need additional scratch paper or lined paper to write your answers during the examination, raise your hand and a proctor will provide you with what you need. Nothing written on scratch paper will be graded.



9. 如果你选择手写,请尽量写的容易辨认。用水笔(推荐用圆珠笔),蓝色或者黑色的水笔来答题。如果用铅笔书写ESSAY或PT的答案则不会被接受。

If you are handwriting, you should do so as legibly as possible. A ballpoint pen, with standard blue or black ink, must be used to write your answers. Answers to the essay and PT questions written in pencil are not acceptable.



10. 考题和用过的草稿纸不允许被带出考场。在完成每场考试后,所有的考题和用过的草稿纸都必须放在指定的信封中。(实际上考官会来收的,整理好放在桌上即可,或者按照考官的当场要求操作)。

Examination questions and used scratch paper may not be taken out of the examination room. After completing each session of the examination, all examination questions and used scratch paper must be placed in the envelope designated for that purpose.



11. 如果你选择手写参加考试,那么你有责任将自己写好的答题卡交给考官。如果你在使用电脑考试的过程中因为电脑故障无法继续使用电脑答题(如果出现电脑故障,请立即联系考官,然后考官会给你相应的答题纸),你必须保证你完成了考官交给你的答题卡并将该答题卡交给考官,这样就会提醒阅卷部门,你部分在电脑上完成了你的答案并部分上传了你的答案。你不能在考场丢下任何考试材料,包括你的答案。

If you handwrite your examination answers or any part thereof, it is your responsibility to turn in your written examination answers to the proctors. If you have an answer that is partially handwritten because you were unable to complete your answer using your laptop, you must ensure that you complete and submit the form provided by the proctor, which will alert the Grading Department that you have an answer partially handwritten and partially uploaded. You cannot leave the test center with any examination materials, including your answers.



12. 在考试的最后时刻,你不会被允许使用厕所或离开你的座位(根据考试情况,分别为5到15分钟,请听清考官的要求)。在考试和答题时间被宣告结束后,直到所有的材料被考官收集完整并装好,你不会被允许去使用洗手间或离开你的座位。如果你未能遵守上述规则或在考试材料被考官收集阶段擅自离开座位,你会收到警告。

所以尽量考试之前去厕所排空体内,考试中间过程不要出去多喝水,考试中间过程是会被允许使用厕所的,但是最后的半小时或者15分钟肯能就不让使用厕所了,具体听考官当时宣布的考场规则。

You will not be permitted to use the restroom or leave your seat during the last several minutes of the examination session (5 to 15 minutes depending on the session). After time is called, you will not be permitted to use the restroom or leave your seat until all materials are collected and inventoried. If you fail to remain seated after being advised to do so or while the examination materials are being collected and inventoried, you will receive a Chapter 6 Notice.


另外,随着疫情的发展,也有一部分小伙伴咨询退考的问题,我们将在下一期与大家分享,因疫情无法入境美国参加USBAR考试,该怎么办?
