The July 2018 Bar Exam: Repeat Florida Bar Exam Takers and The Statistics



Bar Professors Provides Private Tutoring for UBE North Carolina, Florida, the MBE, UBE, Texas and California.  Sign up for our MBE/Essays Seminars at www.barprofessors.com.

Similar to last year, 5 out of the 11 Florida law schools was below the state average of  67.2% and 4 law schools scored below 60%.  Moreover, the difference between the highest bar percentage of 88% by FIU and Nova, the lowest scoring school, at 43% was 45 points. And this does not include everything we have heard about Cooley and their horrible bar pass rate. Also, the Florida bar exam results were 4% lower than last year’s scores. We can just imagine how poorly the repeat taker pass rate was.

We have interviewed many people on this issue, from legal schools, bar experts, law professors and even law students.  Their conclusions are that, the Florida bar exam is becoming less predictable and, with multi-subjects tested in each essay, much harder.  Many students go into the bar exam not understanding the magnitude of the exam and the proper methodology needed to pass. 

However, there is one inescapable conclusion – you must pass the bar exam.  Bar Professors can help you succeed and guide you through the areas that will help you pass the bar exam and begin your life as a lawyer.  Don’t wait until you take the bar 2 or 3 or even 5 times – get help now and get the bar exam behind you.

The July 2018 Bar Exam: Slaughter House 2018: The Crying Game - The Grading on the Florida Bar Exam



Bar Professors Provides Private Tutoring for North Carolina, Florida, the MBE, UBE, Texas and California.  Sign up for our MBE/Essays Seminars at www.barprofessors.com.

We have been talking to many students who failed the Florida bar exam.  We have been astonished and concerned at both the medium grade of the Florida bar exam essays and the scores some repeat takers have been getting.  It seems like the medium grade was lower than in past exams, especially for the last two essays.  The medium grade for the contracts essay was 47, for the family law essay, a 31 and for the constitutional law essay, a 36. Have we seen such low averages before?

In general, repeat takers do not do well on the Florida essays because they lack analytical skills, but it seemed, this bar cycle, that the repeat takers did especially poorly and quite a few of the repeat takers were essentially slaughtered on these essays.

The repeat takers did poorly on the contracts questions, usually scoring in the high 30s, did worse on the family law, scoring on average in the high 20s, low 30s, but did positively awful on the constitutional law essay.  We’ve seen scores of 3, of 13, of 18.  Repeat takers were destroyed on that essay. Never have we’ve seen such low scores in a Florida essay before.

Remember, that if you blow one essay in Florida, your chances of failing are pretty high.

Were the essays tougher this bar cycle or did the Florida Board of Bar Examiners tighten up how they grade the essays?  Points open for debate.

Nevertheless, Florida repeat takers must learn how to write an essay, using their analytical skills to examine the facts and the law and to write a Florida essay that gets them the score that they need to pass.

Obtaining a Bar Professors Florida bar exam tutor will help you pass. Many students who are repeat bar takers need a bar exam coach to help them improve their writing and analytical skills so they can properly navigate through the Florida bar exam. Remember, the Florida bar exam is unique and more difficult to pass than other jurisdictions. This structured, personalized program is the key to passing the bar for repeat takers.

The July 2018 Bar Exam: Repeat Florida Bar Exam Takers: A Review of Your Bar Exam Scores



Bar Professors Provides Private Tutoring for North Carolina, Florida, the MBE, UBE, Texas and California.  Sign up for our MBE/Essays Seminars at www.barprofessors.com.

The Florida bar exam results have come out and all the repeat takers have gotten their letter telling them the breakdown of the scores. Here is the way the grading is done in Florida.

Grading the Florida Bar Exam

The MBE & Florida sections are weighted equally on the Florida Bar Exam. A combined weighted score of 136 is required to pass the Florida Bar Exam. It doesn’t matter if your score in one section or the other is below the 136 – it’s the average score that matters. You can fail the FL or the MBE section and still pass the FL bar exam if your overall score is at least 136.

Each examination paper produced by an applicant on the General Bar Examination will be separately graded. The sum of the converted section scores is the total score for Part A. MBE scores (Part B) are the scaled scores on the MBE provided by the National Conference of Bar Examiners. On the Florida portion of the bar, each essay is worth 100 points for a 300 point total. The multiple choice questions are worth 100 points total, so each question is approximately 1 point each. There are usually 10 experimental questions. The average essay score is around 40 points, requiring you to get your remaining points on the multiple choice questions.

Depending on the difficulty of the essay question and the average grade, the Board of Bar Examiners may adjust your score either downward or upward. The Board does not adjust the multiple choice questions – there are what they are and the point totals do not change.

Review your bar scores and ask yourself how you can improve your scores when you retake the bar exam in February. Obtaining a Bar Professors Florida bar exam tutor will help you pass. Many students who are repeat bar takers need a bar exam coach to help them improve their writing and analytical skills so they can properly navigate through the Florida bar exam. Remember, the Florida bar exam is unique and more difficult to pass than other jurisdictions. This structured, personalized program is the key to passing the bar for repeat takers.

The July 2018 Bar Exam: Retaining a Bar Professors Florida Bar Exam Tutor for Repeat Takers



Bar Professors Provides Private Tutoring for North Carolina, Florida, the MBE, UBE, Texas and California.  Sign up for our MBE/Essays Seminars at www.barprofessors.com.

We have been talking with students since Monday. The questions we’ve been asked more frequently is “what should I do if I was unsuccessful on the Florida Bar Exam?” First, let the shock of failing the bar subside with a few days of reflection. Clearly, this may be one of your greatest disappointments, but don’t let it control or define who you are. You can pass the bar exam in February 2019. Get right back up and say, “I will pass in February 2019.”

Ok, now let’s start. Do not repeat the same class, study plan or approach you used the last time. It did not work. Coming close on the bar is good only in horse shoes. One size does not fit all. Hard work and having a study plan and study strategy will pay off. Say to yourself, “I will be a lawyer.”

You want to get the bar exam behind you and start your new life as a lawyer. Don’t dither or waste time with the “what ifs”. Stay focused and true to your goal to pass.

Obtaining a Bar Professors Florida bar exam tutor will help you pass. Many students who are repeat bar takers need a bar exam coach to help them improve their writing and analytical skills so they can properly navigate through the Florida bar exam. Remember, the Florida bar exam is unique and more difficult to pass than other jurisdictions. This structured, personalized program is the key to passing the bar for repeat takers.

Above all, never give up.

The July 2018 Bar Exam: MBE Scores Sink to 34-Year Low, Resulting in Lower Pass Rates for Some States


Bar Professors Provides Private Tutoring for North Carolina, Florida, the MBE, UBE, Texas and California.  Sign up for our MBE/Essays Seminars at www.barprofessors.com.

It doesn’t look good for bar exam results July’s bar exam cycle.

The average score on the MBE hit a recent low in February, and now the average for the July 2018 test has dropped more than two points to the lowest figure since 1984.

The NCBE announced that the average score on the MBE in July fell 2.2 points to 139.5.  The 2.2-point drop in the July 2018 average MBE score comes on the heels of a 10-year low for the February 2018 exam. That average MBE score fell 1.3 points, to 132.8.

That’s just slightly higher than 1984’s MBE average of 139.21. The average MBE score suggests that pass rates will fall, or at least not improve, for July 2018 results.

There have been some upticks in some states, but generally, lower performance and bar passage is expected, according to the NCBE, especially with this lower MBE score.

In Florida, 67% of July takers passed, down from 71% a year ago. In Indiana, 62% of July takers passed, down from 66% the previous year. 86% of first-time takers in Iowa passed, down from 88%. Missouri’s pass rate was 76%, down from nearly 85% a year ago.

As we know, repeat takers fail the bar at higher rates than first-time takers. The drop on the MBE score will hurt repeat takers the most.  Repeat takers need every point they can get.

The July 2018 Bar Exam: The Weekend Wait for the Florida Bar Exam Results



Bar Professors Provides Private Tutoring for North Carolina, Florida, the MBE, UBE, Texas and California.  Sign up for our MBE/Essays Seminars at www.barprofessors.com.

The Florida Bar Exam Results for July 2018 will come out on Monday, September 17th. There is no magical time it comes out, although the results usually come out in the morning, usually close to 9 am.

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 a bit later. The Florida Board of Bar Examiners releases the passing rate of the law school to the law school first. Florida only releases the first time taker rate and not the repeat takers rate, and not the overall pass rate. Good luck to all Florida takers!
