Will the February 2020 Michigan Bar Exam results be posted online?
Yes, the Michigan Board of Law Examiner’s states on their website that results will be posted by seat number on the day that results are mailed. Note: this is the seat you actually were sitting in, which may be different than the seat you originally were assigned.
In case you are wondering where they reveal that results are released, they make an announcement right here on the home page of their website.
If you do not remember your seat number, you may have to wait for results to be mailed. Last year, they did not release this information to applicants who did not write down their seat number.
What time of day are the Michigan Bar Exam results posted online?
For the February 2017 administration, they were posted at 4:08 p.m. For the July 2018 administration, Michigan Bar Exam results were posted around 4:15 p.m.
In the past, they have posted results around 2:30 p.m. Anywhere between 12:00 p.m. and 4:40 p.m. is normal. They have not posted results before 12:00 p.m.
Will I be able to find my February 2020 Michigan Bar Exam results by my seat number if I don’t have Character and Fitness clearance?
Most likely. For the last eight bar exams, the Michigan Board of Law Examiners (BLE) released the seat numbers of everyone who passed the Michigan Bar Exam, including those who had not yet passed the MPRE or Character and Fitness. If they do the same thing this time, you will be able to find out whether you passed as soon as results are posted, regardless of whether you still are waiting for Character and Fitness clearance.
I don’t have the time, energy, or desire to constantly refresh the BLE website. Can you just tell me when the February 2020 Michigan Bar Exam results are released?

- Just because you reserve a spot (as your Plan B!) does not mean you will jinx yourself! In fact, most of our students who reserve with us end up not needing it (even though they are convinced they failed!). Why is this? It is because feelings do not correlate with results! This is is why—even if you are absolutely convinced you failed—you may have indeed passed! Please see this post about how to deal with worrying about bar exam results before they are released!
