I Failed The Mississippi Bar Exam. What Should I Do?
in Bar ExamI Failed The Mississippi Bar Exam. What Should I Do?
Mississippi bar exam results have been released for the February 2017 bar exam! As a very helpful commentator has pointed out, passage rates were unbelievably low this February. In fact, only 31 out of 87 examinees passed the bar exam for a 35.6% passage rate! This is dismal! We are not sure the reason for this large decrease in passing scores. It is strange for results to decrease so dramatically when 70% of the exam is nationalized (e.g. invented by the National Conference of Bar Examiners’ and used by several other states — both the MEE and MPT portion are used by about 40 other states and the MBE portion is used nationwide). It is also strange given that Mississippi’s passing score requirement, as we explain below, is a 132, which is not super-high in comparison with other states (which require passing scores that range a spectrum from 130 to 142).

MBE Scores Drop to New Low! What Does this Mean for Me?
in Bar ExamThe ABA recently posted an article about the recent all-time-low MBE scores. Last February’s MBE average was 135. This year’s is 134.1. We all know one point can make a difference in passing and failing. It is also low considering that iother years have had much higher MBE averages (e.g. 137 in 2012 and 138 in 2013 and 2014).
