Accidental use of real name on CA bar exam Forum

[324B21]

I randomly got worried that I used my real name on the CPT last July instead of using the term "Applicant".

(1) does anybody else have random worries like this?

And (2) what is the punishment? I'm terrified that I will get a zero on the entire PT

Thanks!

I'm also curious to know about this.

I may be wrong, but I couldn't find in the instructions one that addressed using "Applicant". Of course, I''m not trying to fight it and am worried about it so obviously I think it was implied.

I am almost certain that sort of thing happens to multiple people under the stress of the exam. You're not going to get a 0. People would revolt.

You would have to somehow know which grader you'd get in advance to even have a chance of somehow cheating.
