Minnesota was in the mix for most oversaturated before two schools merged. Michigan was before Cooley closed a campus. But it's gotta be California (with all the CalBar nonsense included) or NC.

Re: July 2017 Bar Exam Results
No evidence for this speculation, but I wonder if the bump might be partially caused by the collective freak out and additional prep done by students who heard the last MBE (in Feb) had the worst scores ever.derekmuller wrote:It's linked in the post, but it may be behind a paywall.

Re: July 2017 Bar Exam Results
First, I think you're giving too much credit to law students studying for the bar.
Second, I'll never understand the MBE's "defend until we die" mantra. They've said the test hasn't changed, but we all know it has. They've added civ pro and they've introduced topics in the MBE that were not heavily tested, or at all, in prior years.

I think it's patently ridiculous that the NCBE won't admit that the test has gotten tougher. Adding an entirely new body of law a few years back obviously increases the difficulty level. When it comes to going from 10 experimental questions to 25, I might have previously been persuaded that this shouldn't change anything in terms of difficulty, but after having taken the exam, I wonder how many of those non-counting questions ended up eating up a ton of my time. In practice, I was always done with 30-45 minutes to spare. On both actual MBE sessions, I was sprinting at the end. I think this is because I ended up reading and re-reading and, yes, even re-re-reading some of those long ass Civ Pro questions that didn't immediately make sense to me. Chances are some of those were just poorly written experimental questions that resulted in zero points for me but amounted to a huge time suck.
With all that said, the NCBE does have a point that there was a real, and consequential dip in the admission standards in law school admissions and, yes, we shouldn't be surprised that passage rates dipped. I just think they're using that, which is one factor, and trying to use it as a complete explanation when it's that coupled with additional factors, like the introduction of Civ Pro and the change in the format.

Re: July 2017 Bar Exam Results
Changes in subjects or topics tested do not affect scores. This is all controlled through scaling and equating. This may help: http://excessofdemocracy.com/blog/2015/ ... than-usualcricketlove00 wrote:First, I think you're giving too much credit to law students studying for the bar.

Re: July 2017 Bar Exam Results
Good points, which I totally agree with. I just think attributing a dip in scores entirely to admissions is irresponsible. I don't think the issue is that black and white.

Utah results were emailed today and I am thrilled I passed; this was my second bar exam but this time as a practicing attorney 9 years after the first one (NV) and it's a miracle I passed, and with a scaled score of 306! Good luck everyone!

For those scoring at home, that is a 72.2% pass rate. With an average score nearly 6% higher than necessary (technically 5.9%) well done to WA students.HungJuror wrote:WA State: Of the 765 candidates who took the Summer 2017 Lawyer Bar Exam, 553 candidates passed the exam.
