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 MBE Testing Institute also specializes in tutoring foreign educated lawyers and LLM students.
The MBE Testing Institute will be conducting a New York Bar Exam seminar in New York City on November 21, 2015.
The MBE Testing Institute knows that taking the bar exam as a repeat taker can be an isolating experience. The MBE Testing Institute helps the student keep motivated and confident through interaction with an MBE Testing Institute’s bar tutor.
