New York’s Grim Reality for Repeat Takers

In honor of Halloween, here is about the most scary statistic I have seen for repeat takers in New York.

For repeat takers in New York,  the pass rate is dismal. For all students who took the New York bar exam as repeat takers, the pass rate for February 2015 was 35%, for July 2015, it was 22% and combined it was 29%.  Put another way,  4,632 repeat takers sat for the  combined 2015 bar exams and only 1,349 students passed.  A very gloomy statistic.

For NY ABA Law Schools: in February 2015, the repeat taker pass rate was 45%, in July 2015, it was 31% and combined was 39%.

For Out of State ABA Law Schools, the pass rate for repeat takers in February was 43%, in July 2015 it was 23% and for the combined year, it was 35%.

For All ABA Law Schools, the pass rate for repeat takers in February was 44%, in July 2015 it was 27% and for the combined year, it was 37%.

For Foreign Educated students, the pass rate for repeat takers in February was 24%, in July 2013 it was 17% and for the combined year, it was 20%.

Interestingly, the statistics seem to favor the repeat bar taker in February, rather than July.  Most repeat bar exam takers have the misimpression that February is a harder bar exam.

The statistics say you must get help. Contact the MBE Testing Institute  now and we can help you with the February 2016 bar exam.  You owe it to your future.  The MBE Testing Institute can help you succeed.

The Low Scores on The New York Bar Exam

The MBE Testing Institute has done a quick comparison of the scores from July 2015 and July 2014 for New York.  The scores dropped considerably – much like many other states.

The overall pass rate from July 2014 to July 2015 dropped by 4% points.  July 2014’s overall pass rate was 65% and July 2015’s overall pass rate was 61%.

The overall first time taker pass rate for July 2014 was 74%. In July 2015, the overall first time taker pass rate was only 70% – a drop of 4%.

Without the foreign educated attorneys, the first time taker rate was 83% in July 2014, but only 79% in July 2015.

The foreign educated pass rates stayed statistically the same.  In July 2014, the pass rate was 44% for first time takers and the overall pass rate was 34%.  In July 2015, the foreign educated attorneys pass rate was 42% for first time takers and 33% overall.

As we know, February 2016 will be the last New York exam – the UBE will take its place in July 2016.

The Bar Exam Results for July 2015: The MBE Push Back

The MBE has pushed back again this year.

If you have read The MBE Testing Institute tweets and blogs, you know that the average score on the MBE on the July bar exam fell 1.6 points from the previous year, reaching its lowest level since 1988, according to data provided by the National Conference of Bar Examiners. The mean score on the July bar exam was 139.9, down from 141.5 in July 2014.

Of course, the NCBE doesn’t blame the test but the law students.  The pile-on has begun with deans and law professors all blaming the students that they created.  Fearing for their own jobs, the deans and law professors are saying that they’ve been admitting students with lower qualifications who then fail the bar exam. It seems like it’s a problem the law schools have created, however, it’s this author’s opinion that the teaching at law schools is the real culprit.

In speaking with students, they feel the test is harder because this is the first July when Civil Procedure has been tested in “mass” numbers.  The NCBE, however, disputes this assessment, saying that the students did poorly across the board in all 7 subjects.

Whatever created this problem, we do know that performance on the bar exam has continued to dip down to levels we have never seen and it appears that this is not an aberration, but a new realty.

Here are the changes in overall bar pass rate, from July 2014 over July 2015, for some of the states already reported.

Florida, -2 points (July 2014 – 71%; July 2015: 68.9%)

Kansas, -3 points (July 2014: 79%; July 2015: 76%)

Mississippi, -27 points (July 2014: 78%; July 2015: 51%)

Missouri, -1 point (July 2014: 85%; July 2015: 84%)

Montana, -2 points (July 2014: 64%; July 2015: 62%)

New Mexico, -12 points (July 2014: 84%; July 2015: 72%)

North Carolina, -4 points (July 2014: 71%; July 2015: 67%)

Oklahoma, -11 points (July 2014: 79%; July 2015: 68%)

Washington, -1 point (July 2014: 77%; July 2015: 76%)

West Virginia, -5 points (July 2014: 74%; July 2015: 69%)

Wisconsin, -10 points (July 2014: 75%; July 2015: 65%)

So far, one of the few states that have gone up,  Iowa, is now switching to the UBE starting in February.  A mere coincidence?  Perhaps not.

Nevertheless, the reality is that  you must pass the bar exam.  The MBE Testing Institute can help you succeed and guide you through the areas that will help you pass the bar exam and begin your life as a lawyer.  Don’t wait until you take the bar 2 or 3 or even 5 times – get help now and get the bar exam behind you.
