The February 2013 Bar Exam Results: The Long Weekend Wait for the Florida Results

Please look at our new and expanded website at barprofessors.com

The Florida Bar Exam Results for February 2013 will come out on Monday, April 15th. There is no magical time it comes out, although the results usually come out around 10 am. The results came out around 9 am one year, another year, around noon – so anywhere around 9:30 to 12 noon is your window to keep hitting the refresh button.

Florida releases the numbers, not the names of the applicants and the site reveals just pass or fail of both Part A (the Florida section) and Part B (the MBE section) and the overall pass or fail. When you look up your number there will be 4 columns: your number, pass, pass, pass. The last pass is your ticket for your law license. You can fail a section of the Florida bar, and with enough carry over points, you can pass overall. So you will see some scores, like fail, pass, pass or pass, fail, pass. That’s ok, because that applicant has passed the Florida bar exam. Look at the final column and you’ll know whether you passed or failed.

The Florida Board of Bar Examiners also releases the passing rate of the law schools, too, later in the afternoon. The Florida Board of Bar Examiners releases the passing rate of the law school to the law school first. Later that day, the Florida bar examiners then releases the passing rate of the law schools to the public. Florida only releases the first time taker rate and not the repeat takers rate, and not the overall pass rate. It’s unfortunate that Florida does not practice full transparency, because I have seen quite a few law schools who try to fudge the overall rate and the repeat taker rate to something higher than what it really is – then tell their students who have failed, that all they need to do is keep taking it and they will eventually pass. I have seen students taking the exam 6, 8, 10 times. We know you need a bar tutor to help you get over the finish line.
