CA requires a certain GPA on 60 credits or specific scores on certain CLEP exams (not DSST).
If you are testing out, you may not have a choice as to what exams you take. I have a friend whose daughter, even after graduating from a tier one ABA law school, had her bar exam delayed by CA over some misunderstanding with her undergraduate transcript. Be careful!
Here is the direct information I got from the CA Bar. Someone on here has already corrected me about my initial interpretation so I believe I have it correct now, but if my 4 buiz classes + comp doesn't look like it would work for some reason or I missed something please let me know
Thanks again!
