Of the 43 states that reported results as of Tuesday, 24 had lower overall pass rates compared with the previous February exam, while 18 states had higher overall pass rates. One state — Oregon — had the same pass rate as last year.

The State Bar of California today filed a petition with the California Supreme Court, advancing recommendations made by the Committee of Bar Examiners regarding a raw passing score and scoring adjustments for the February Bar Exam. The petition also responds to the Court’s recent request for information regarding the development and reliability of multiple-choice questions.
