For the Rest of Us...
Apparently, immediately after the end of the bar exam--in the very moment when our reserves of conscious thought had been completely exhausted--the geniuses at the California Bar "reminded" us to hold onto some magical white card that has our applicant and file numbers on it, which we will need to access the website where results will be posted tonight. Some people still have those cards. This post is for the rest of us.
An astute commenter in a thread below found an e-mail from Examsoft (subject: Confirmation of SofTest Installation for the July 2010 California Bar Examination) that lists an applicant number and a file number. I have confirmed that the applicant number is the same number we used on the exam, but no one has yet been able to confirm that the file number is the same.
Can some well-organized savior who has both the magical white card and that Examsoft e-mail confirm that the file numbers are the same in both? I would just wait until tonight and hope for the best, but someone just told me that if you don't pass the exam, the website will say something like "file not found," which is probably the same message we'll get if we have the wrong file number. See the problem? Help appreciated.

i am 90% certain that last year I verified that my white card matched the numbers on the examsoft confirmation emails.
I don't have a white card, but I do have my admittance ticket, which has both a file number and an applicant number (as well as LSAC number).
The File and Applicant number are the same on my admittance ticket and in the Softest confirmation email. However, the confirmation email gave me a 5 digit applicant number: a zero followed by 4 digits. The admittance ticket only contains the four digits (i.e., the zero is dropped). Not sure which is more correct. Or if it even matters.
Alright, now we're getting somewhere. So people like me, if you don't hit at first with the five-digit number, try the four-digit version.
Keep the answers coming, commenters. God bless you all.
Have you considered calling the state bar office in san francisco and... asking?
I prefer to use social networking tools...
Be forewarned that the web-interface where you see whether you passed is the meanest interface ever. Be sure to take a deep breath and read thoroughly. It easily took me at least a minute to calm down and realize that "The above name appears on the pass list for 2009" meant I had done good. Why can't it just say in big bold letters "YES, YOU PASSED, YOU ARE NOW A LAWYER, TIME TO HIT THE BARS!"
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!! (I am seriously nervous for you just remembering how these last few hours went for myself a year ago)
Thanks, Caley.
The pass visual looks like this:

good luck, everyone!
We're all counting on you.
Aw, man, don't . . . no, man. Don't say that . . .
Good luck everyone!

A 54% pass rate for this exam? The lowest since 2006.
It was that long, huge, ugly CA evidence question.
Hey Dan,
The white card's app # is the same minus the initial zero (the last 4 numbers) and the file number are the same. The website is www.calbar.ca.gov.
Confirmed. Thanks, everyone.
I am currently compiling a list of Classroom blogs and I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about your site so I could include more info in my article. Please e-mail me alexisbrett@gmail.com, thanks!
in response to some earlier post . . .
looks like Canada will be litigating the empirics of polygamy.
