ABA’s Passing Statistics and the 88% Pass Rate

As we wait for the states to release its bar exam results, there is good news from the ABA as to passing rates.

Recently, the ABA has released both first time and ultimate outcomes for bar exam pass rate for every ABA accredited law school.

The data shows that the majority of law graduates who take the bar exam pass within two years, even at a time when state pass rates have been trending down. Unaccredited schools were not counted and, as we know, unaccredited schools have a horrendously low bar pass rate.

According to the ABA, nearly 88% of 2015 law grads who took the bar passed within two years. Additionally, 77% of the 2017 law grads who took the bar passed on their first try, as did 74% of 2016 grads nationwide.

The MBE & UBE Testing Institute knows that taking the bar exam as a repeat taker can be an isolating experience. The MBE & UBE Testing Institute helps the student keep motivated and confident through interaction with an MBE & UBE Testing Institute’s bar tutor.
