July 2013 Bar Results: The California Bar Exam Results Statistics


Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com. 

The State Bar of California's Committee of Bar Examiners reported  that 55.8% of the applicants passed the July 2013 General Bar Examination (GBX).

Preliminary statistical analyses show that of the 8,900 applicants who took the exam, 74.6% were first-time takers. The passing rate for the 6,636 first-time applicants was 68% overall. The passing rate for the 2,264 applicants repeating the examination was 21% overall.

Preliminary statistical analyses show the first-time and repeater percent passing the exam  by law school type as follows:

California ABA:  first time taker pass rate:  76%; repeat taker pass rate:  33%

Out of state ABA:  first time taker pass rate:  64%; repeat taker pass rate:  19%

CA accredited (but not ABA): first time taker pass rate:  36%; repeat taker pass rate:  13%

Unaccredited fixed faculty:  first time taker pass rate:  14%; repeat taker pass rate:  11%

Unaccredited Correspondence:  first time taker pass rate:  35%; repeat taker pass rate:  12%

Unaccredited Distance Learning: first time taker pass rate:  16%; repeat taker pass rate:  7%

It is very telling statistic  that if you are going to take the California bar exam, it is better to go to an ABA school in California.  There is an 12% difference between CA ABA schools vs. non-CA ABA schools.  In most states, there is not much difference between pass rates of state schools vs. non state law schools.

It is also interesting to note that it’s better to attend an unaccredited correspondence school than any other non-ABA school in California – even the CA accredited, but not ABA schools.  Obviously the non-ABA schools in California are a waste of time and money, even with their buildings and faculty, at least for those students trying to pass the bar exam.

As you can see by the statistics, repeat takers have an incredible difficult time passing the bar exam.  If you are a repeat bar exam taker, contact Bar Professors.  We can help you succeed.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: The MBE Exam


Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com. 

I have talked with many students this bar exam cycle about their MBE scores.  Many students I talked with failed the MBE while passing the state portion of their bar exam.  The MBE is always difficult because you have to get the right answer or you get no points.  Across the board, whether you are from Harvard or from a third tier score, contracts and property are one and two for the hardest subjects of the six – and where most students have the most difficult.  Torts is ranked as the easiest subject in terms of how many questions students get right nationally.  This bar cycle, evidence seemed to the hardest subject.

For those who failed the MBE exam, evaluate your scores carefully.  I have many students tell me that they were close to passing because of their scaled scores.  But, remember, scaled scores are not always accurate in assessing your actual scores.  This bar cycle, the scaled scores were roughly 18 to 20 points.  This is probably one of the highest scaled scores we have seen in many years.  Usually, the scaled scores are about 15 points.  That means the NCBE added 18 to 20 points to your raw score this bar cycle.  In February 2014, they could add only 15 points or another number.  We can’t be sure how many points they will increase your raw score.

Look at your raw score.  That raw score is your accurate assessment.  Find the percentage that you got right and you will see how much more you need to get a passing score. For example if you got a 100 on your raw score, you are sitting at a 50% rate on your MBE.  That is way too low to successfully pass the bar exam.   To be sure that you will pass the MBE, you need to be testing around 65% when you go into the February 2014 bar exam.

Also ask yourself if  your scores were low in every subject or did you do well in some subjects and not well in others?  This evaluation will determine how you should study of the February 2014 bar exam.  If you have across the board weakness, then you have problems with the analytical portion of the test – you are not understanding the strategy of elimination.  If you scores reflect an up and down weakness per subject matter, then you need to concentrate on those weak subject while not forgetting to work on your stronger subjects.

As the February 2014 bar comes closer, we will discuss strategies and tactics for the MBE.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: Why Repeat Bar Takers Don’t Pass…The Myths and Reality of Passing


Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Florida Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com. 

Most law graduates are under the false impression that the more times you take a state bar exam the greater your changes are to passing

In fact, it is just the opposite. The more times you sit for a state bar, you increase your chances of being unsuccessful.

The statistical proof is clear and convincing that repeat takers continuously do poorer on the bar exam than first time takers. Here are the hard facts:

Indiana’s overall pass rate for  July 2013 was 75%. The pass rate for 1st time takers was 82% and the pass rate for repeat takers was 27%.

Iowa’s pass rate for July 2013 was  92%. For 1st time takers, the  pass rate was 95%. For 2nd time takers, the pass rate was 70%. For 3rd time takers, the pass rate was 57%. For the 4th time takers, the pass rate was 0%. For the 5th time taker, the pass rate was 0%.

Delaware’s  overall pass rate for July 2013 was 71.7%. The first time applicant pass rate was 77.8%. The repeat applicant pass rate was 48.9%.

Oregon’s overall pass rate for July 2013 was 75%. The first time taker pass rate was 81% and the repeat bar exam taker rate was 36%.

North Carolina published its statistics of the July 2013 bar exam. The overall pass rate  was 63.35%. Applicants who took the bar exam for the first time passed at 71%. Applicants who took the bar exam as repeat takers passed at 23.3%.

These statistical repeat taker numbers are a clear representation that repeat takers, on an average, only pass the bar exam at about a 33% rate. Obtaining a Bar Professors’ bar exam tutor should be the number one goal for all repeat takers.

The Florida Bar Exam Results for July 2013: Repeat Florida Bar Exam Takers: What Does Your Score Really Mean


Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Florida Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com. 

As you know, taking the Florida bar exam will be a challenging experience for all repeat bar exam takers. However, you must review and understand the breakdown of your scores.  There are some important indicators as it relates to your July 2013 bar exam scores.

Let’s first start with the MBE.  If you made below a raw 125, that’s a clear indication that you lack the requisite knowledge of the subject matter, that you do not understand the methodology of the MBE and that you are not reading critically to obtain the proper factual analysis. You will not be able to score any higher on the MBE on your next bar exam if you do not get help.  In light of this, you should retain a Bar Professors Florida bar tutor.  Bar Professors will help you understand the methodology and the critical analysis of the MBE.

Next, is the Florida essays.  Students score low on the Florida essays because they do not read and analyze each essay using the line by line approach.  If you score below a 65 on each essay, you are not raising all discussable issues and, therefore, leaving much needed points on the table.  Another common problem on the Florida essays, is an applicant’s failure to analyze each and every issue he does raise.  Again, you should retain a Bar Professors Florida bar tutor.  Bar Professors will teach you how to approach the essays to receive the maximum points on each essay.

The Florida Bar Exam Results for July 2013: Repeat Florida Bar Exam Takers: Why Did You Fail And How Bar Professors Can Help You


Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Florida Bar Exam Tutors at www.barprofessors.com. 

Most law students fail the Florida Bar Exam for three major reasons:

1. Repeat Bar Takers revert back to bad writing habits  and poor analytical skills developed in law school.

Under the pressures of the bar exam, many students revert back to bad habits. These bad habits allowed them to graduate from law school, but will be the kiss of death on the bar. Some of the bad habits include, not organizing your answer, no line by line analysis and not answering the call of the question. 

Bar Professors will teach you the skills to analyze both the essays and the MBE, with improvement on better writing analysis.

2. Repeat Bar Takers have poor preparation and time management skills.

Many law students start their bar preparation entirely too late, leaving most in a rush mode. For the upcoming February 2014 bar, your preparation should begin earlier rather than later. You should allow yourself 5 to 6 hours per day for studying. But more importantly, studying correctly is the key. You need to write and answer many essays and MBE questions. Your answers must be evaluated by a private tutor.

Bar Professors puts each student on a two week schedule so that the student is evaluated frequently.  In addition, Bar Professors evaluates every essay the student writes and every MBE exam the student takes, looking for areas in which the student can improve.

3. Repeat Bar Takers don’t really believe that they will pass

You must have a belief that you will pass. Get rid of all negative thoughts, people and things. You must truly believe that you will pass. You must say this every single day prior to the bar and you must have the confidence to succeed.

Bar Professors knows that taking the bar exam as a repeat taker can be an isolating experience.  Bar Professors helps the student keep motivated and confident through interaction with the Florida bar tutor.

The Florida Bar Exam Results for July 2013: Repeat Florida Bar Exam Takers: A Review of Your Bar Exam Scores


Please look at our essay writing, MBE programs and Florida Bar Tutors at www.barprofessors.com.

The Florida bar exam results have come out and all the repeat takers have gotten their letter telling them the breakdown of the scores.  Here is the way the grading is done in Florida.

Grading the Florida Bar Exam

The MBE & Florida sections are weighted equally on the Florida Bar Exam. This is called the “overall method”. (Rule 4-25(a)). A combined weighted score of 136 is required to pass the Florida Bar Exam. It doesn’t matter if your score in one section or the other is below the 136 – it’s the average score that matters. So basically you can fail the FL or the MBE section and still pass the FL bar exam if your overall score is at least 136.

If you fail one section of the bar and choose to re-take only that one section in the next examination, you must score the 136 points or higher on that section. The Florida Board of Bar Examiners calls this the “individual method”. (Rule 4-25(b)). Your chances of passing are slightly lower than re-taking the entire bar again.

If an applicant attains a passing scaled score on only 1 part and elects to take the overall method of the General Bar Examination as described above, the previous passing status will not be replaced by a failing status if the applicant fails to achieve a passing score on a subsequent submission effort. (Rule 4-25.1).

Each examination paper produced by an applicant on the General Bar Examination will be separately graded. The scores of each section of Part A will be converted to a common scale by a recognized statistical procedure so that each section is equally weighted. The sum of the converted section scores is the total score for Part A. All total scores attained by the applicants on Part A are converted to the same distribution as their Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) scaled scores. MBE scores (Part B) are the scaled scores on the MBE provided by the National Conference of Bar Examiners. Scaled scores are used in order to ensure that the standard of measurement of competence from examination to examination is not affected by the difficulty of the particular test or the ability of that particular group as distinguished from the general population of applicants. Rule 4-26.1

On the Florida portion of the bar, each essay is worth 100 points for a 300 point total. The multiple choice questions are worth 100 points total, so each question is approximately 1 point each. There are usually 10 experimental questions. The average essay score is around 40 points, requiring you to get your remaining points on the multiple choice questions.

Depending on the difficulty of the essay question and the average grade, the Board of Bar Examiners may adjust your score either downward or upward. There is a school of thought that a bar taker should hope for a difficult question so that the average grade is lower – thereby requiring the Bar Examiners to adjust upward. If the essay is an easy one, usually the average score is higher, thus requiring a downward adjustment. The Board does not adjust the multiple choice questions – there are what they are and the point totals do not change.

Review your bar scores and ask yourself how you can improve your scores when you retake the bar exam in February.  Obtaining a Bar Professors Florida bar exam tutor will help you pass. Many students who are repeat bar takers need a bar exam coach to help them improve their writing and analytical skills so they can properly navigate through the Florida bar exam. Remember, the Florida bar exam is unique and more difficult to pass than other jurisdictions. This structured, personalized program is the key to passing the bar for repeat takers.

The Florida Bar Exam Results for July 2013: Retaining a Florida Bar Exam Tutor for Repeat Takers


Please look at our new essay writing and new MBE programs at www.barprofessors.com .

We have been talking with students all day Monday, Tuesday, and this morning.  The questions we’ve been asked more frequently is “what should I do if I was unsuccessful on the Florida Bar Exam?”  First, let the shock of failing the bar subside with a few days of reflection. Clearly, this may be one of your greatest disappointments, but don’t let it control or define who you are. You can pass the bar exam in February 2014. Get right back up and say, “I will pass in February 2014.”

Ok, now let’s start. Do not repeat the same class, study plan or approach you used the last time. It did not work. Coming close on the bar is good only in horse shoes. One size does not fit all. Hard work and having a study plan and study strategy will pay off. Say to yourself, “I will be a lawyer.”

You want to get the bar exam behind you and start your new life as a lawyer.  Don’t dither or waste time with the “what ifs”.  Stay focused and true to your goal to pass.

Obtaining a Bar Professors Florida bar exam tutor will help you pass. Many students who are repeat bar takers need a bar exam coach to help them improve their writing and analytical skills so they can properly navigate through the Florida bar exam. Remember, the Florida bar exam is unique and more difficult to pass than other jurisdictions.  This structured, personalized program is the key to passing the bar for repeat takers. 

Above all, never give up.

Torts: 23.13 out of 34 questions
Contracts: 21.03 out of 34 questions
Property: 20.68 out of 33 questions


It appears that Evidence was the hardest subject on the MBE this time around.

Totaling the 6 MBE subjects, the average raw score in Missouri on the MBE was a 127.8. The average scaled MBE was a 146.01. That means the curve for the average person was 18 points.

For the UBE essays:

Essay 1 (Fed.Civil Pro): 5.68 out of 12 points
Essay 2 (Agency and Torts): 5.90 out of 12 points
Essay 3 (Evidence): 4.60 out of 12 points
Essay 4 (Corporations): 4.98 out of 12 points
Essay 5 (Contracts): 4.32 out of 12 points
Essay 6 (Estates): 3.99 out of 12 points


MPT 1: 6.17 out of 12 points

MPT 2: 6.93 out of 12 points

It appears that the Estates questions was the toughest out of all the essays.

Congratulations to those who have passed Missouri. A job well done.

The July 2013 Bar Exam: The Bar Exam is Over, Would You Have Done Anything Differently?



Please look at our new website and new MBE Program at barprofessors.com

The bar exam is over and the waiting begins.    Before you get your results, you may want to reflect on how you may have done your studying differently.   Law schools and bar exam companies never fully prepare you for the “experience” of taking a bar exam.  It is something you have never done before  and you go into the unknown, always hoping you did what you needed to do to pass the bar exam.  I had one student tell me that she didn’t “get it” until she sat at the bar exam and the proctor gave the signal to begin.

What would you tell a fellow student who is gearing up to take the February 2014 bar exam?  Would you tell that student to study harder or differently?  Would you tell your friends to start studying earlier?  I am also convinced that the way you studied for the bar exam will reflect the way you approach your job as a lawyer.  To be a good lawyer you must put your sweat, time and effort into your cases – this is what separates you from all the other lawyers out there.  Can you say that you put it all on the table when you sat for the bar exam?  Will you put in the same effort you did studying for the bar exam when you get your bar license?
