| I seem to remember that the CAC is part of "Title 24", and is covered in Chapter 11 of Part 2. Is this correct? Or is there another reference to this, besides ADA that regulates accessibility?

Keep in mind that there may also be Local Accessibility Requirements of the Local Code that may add to or possibly exceed the minimum standards of the State Code.
In order to help you understand this aspect better, I recommend that you be able to articulate the differences between ADA and other Codes that provide accessibility standards.

ADA is a civil rights law- federal. Nobody checks your plans for that, but you can get sued by whomever if your building violates it.
state accessibility standards will be checked by local building dept., for public owned or leased, by DSA/ access compliance. (yes, local codes might ammend the state standards.)
i have heard from a code consultant, that in some areas like shower stalls for the disabled, ADA and California accessibility standards do not agree...

who knows more or better? Yes, there are minor differences. I believe that the key difference between the ADA and Title 24 are the allowable exceptions or equivalent facilitation. For the exam, I wouldn't worry about it. As you said, plans are reviewed against Title 24. CAB is not going to test on why California law might be inferior to federal law.
