The February 2016 Bar Exam: Is the Bar Exam More Difficult?

If you have read The MBE & UBE 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.

The MBE scores have been systematically lower since the NCBE has made its changes.

This has resulted in state scores that have been consistently lower than in past years. Florida, Kansas, Mississippi, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, West Virginia, to only name a few states, saw lower pass rates in their July results.

This overall decline may be the new reality or may be a future trend.
