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.
