Performance of law graduates taking the bar exam in February has hit the lowest point in more than a decade. The average score on February’s Multistate Bar Exam was 1.3 pointslower  from last year to 132.7.

Ohio’s pass rate was 52%, New York’s pass rate was 38%, with 75% of the repeat takers failing. Alabama’s pass rate was 32.5%, with 85% of repeat takers failing. Pennsylvania’s pass rate was 52%, with over 60% of the repeat takers failing, Missouri’s pass rate was 63%, with 66% of the repeat takers failing.
