FSU, FAMU law school's bar exam results show decreased scores in first-time passage rates

After test-takers across the state who hope to become lawyers recently took the Florida Bar exam in February, results show that Florida State University and Florida A&M University’s Colleges of Law passing scores took a plunge compared to last year.

Besides FAMU and FSU, other law schools across the state with lower passage rates in this year's February exam are from Stetson University, the University of Miami, Nova Southeastern University, Ave Maria and Barry University.

While 78.9% of FSU’s graduates passed after taking the exam for the first time in February 2022, the percentage dropped to 66.7% of the law school's students passing this year during their first time, according to the Florida Board of Bar Examiners .

FSU College of Law's passage rate ranked highest in the state in students' first-time passing scores for the February bar exam in 2022.

With the 15 graduates who took the exam in February and 10 of them passing, the rate puts the university in third place following Florida International University College of Law’s passage rate of 72.2% and the University of Florida College of Law’s rate of 70.8%.

Besides the February exam , the tests taken over the summer in July reveal the results of first-time test takers as well, where FSU’s passage rate in July 2022 was 74.9% with 137 out of 187 test-takers passing.

“It is concerning that the state bar passage rate is down, but because the February bar exam is usually taken by a much smaller group of recent grads than the July exam, February passage rates tend to fluctuate widely,” FSU College of Law Dean O'Hara O'Connor said. “With that said, preparing our students to pass the bar exam is a top priority, and we are always looking for creative ways to improve their chances of passing in the future.”

At FAMU’s College of Law , the passage rate went from 56% in February 2022 to 40% this year, which shows the continuation of its struggle when it comes to having high first-time passing scores compared to the other law schools in Florida.

The percentage gives FAMU's law school a next-to-last-place ranking, tied with Ave Maria School of Law. The school in Florida with the lowest passage rate was Florida Coastal School of Law after 33.3% of its first-time test takers passed. The school closed in 2021.

Out of the 20 students from FAMU’s College of Law who took the bar exam this year, 8 of them passed — less than half — compared to 14 out of 25 who passed last year in February.

In July 2022, 50 out of 95 test takers passed the bar exam, giving FAMU’s law school a passage rate of 52.6% that summer.

“We are proud of every graduate who passed this exam following an unusually tough law school experience that included remote learning because of COVID,” FAMU College of Law Dean and law professor Deidré Keller said. “The College remains committed to supporting every graduate to success on the bar and in the profession. We will work closely with our repeat takers to ensure that they, too, succeed.”

Graduates who will have to retake the test were encouraged to connect with Interim director of Academic Success and Bar Preparation Eurilynne Williams for resources that could help them succeed on the bar exam the next time they take it, according to Keller.

In addition, FAMU’s College of Law hosted an Oath of Admission Ceremony Wednesday evening to celebrate the individuals who passed the exam, where the event featured judges from the Ninth Judicial Circuit.

Here are how the state's 12 law schools ranked this February when considering each of their first-time test-taker passage rates, along with the percentages they received in February of last year:

NCBE Announces National Mean for February 2024 MBE

MADISON, WISCONSIN, April 2, 2024— The National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) announced today that the national mean scaled score for the February 2024 Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) was 131.8, an increase of more than 0.6 points compared to the February 2023 mean of 131.1. The MBE, one of three sections that make up the bar exam in most US jurisdictions, consists of 200 multiple-choice questions answered over six hours. 

19,496 examinees took the February 2024 MBE, an increase of approximately 1.4% compared to the 19,228 examinees who sat for the exam in February 2023. This increase continues a return toward pre-pandemic examinee numbers that began with last February’s administration.

Approximately 72% of February 2024 examinees were likely repeat test takers and approximately 28% were likely taking the exam for the first time, roughly the same proportion of repeat and first-time test takers as February 2023.  All groups of examinees saw performance increases compared to February 2023, with the greatest increase for first-time takers.   NCBE Director of Assessment and Research Rosemary Reshetar, EdD, commented: “These numbers reflect a continuation of the trend that began last February: we are moving back toward pre-Covid numbers in terms of both the mean and the examinee count. We will likely see an increase in pass rates compared to last February, but we are also still seeing the  effects of the pandemic  on examinees who were in law school in 2020, 2021, and 2022.” 

Reliability for the February 2024 exam was 0.93, slightly higher than the reliability for the February 2023 exam  and consistent with the 5-year average for February administrations.  (Reliability is an indicator of the consistency of a set of examination scores, with a maximum value of 1.0.)

Jurisdictions begin releasing their February 2024 results this week;  bar examination pass rates  as reported by jurisdictions are available on the NCBE website. Many jurisdictions are still in the process of grading the written components of the bar exam; once this process is completed, bar exam scores will be calculated and passing decisions reported by those jurisdictions.

More information about the MBE and bar passage rates can be found in the following  Bar Examiner  articles:

• The MBE Mean and Bar Passage Predictions
• When the Mean Misleads: Understanding Bar Exam Score Distributions
• Why are February Bar Exam Pass Rates Lower than July Pass Rates?

The first-time and repeat MBE-based test taker information calculated by NCBE is an approximation based on the NCBE Number and biographic data, which has not been used consistently in all jurisdictions across time. Prior to 2022, approximately 10% of examinees could not be tracked with certainty by NCBE as either first-time or repeat takers due to a lack of sufficient biographic information.

About the National Conference of Bar Examiners

The National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE), headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, is a not-for-profit corporation founded in 1931. NCBE promotes fairness, integrity, and best practices in bar admissions for the benefit and protection of the public, in pursuit of its vision of a competent, ethical, and diverse legal profession. Best known for developing bar exam content used by 54 US jurisdictions, NCBE serves admission authorities, courts, the legal education community, and candidates by providing high-quality assessment products, services, and research; character investigations; and informational and educational resources and programs.  In 2026, NCBE will launch the next generation of the bar examination, ensuring that the exam continues to test the knowledge, skills, and abilities required for competent entry-level legal practice in a changing profession.  For more information, visit the NCBE website at  https://www.ncbex.org .

About the Multistate Bar Examination

The Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) is a six-hour, 200-question multiple-choice examination developed by NCBE and administered by user jurisdictions as part of the bar examination, typically given twice each year. The purpose of the MBE is to assess the extent to which an examinee can apply fundamental legal principles and legal reasoning to analyze given fact patterns. The subjects tested on the MBE are Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law and Procedure, Evidence, Real Property, and Torts. In addition to assessing examinee knowledge and skills, the MBE is used to equate the bar exam.  Equating  is a statistical procedure used for most large-scale standardized tests to ensure that exam scores retain the same meaning across administrations and over time.  More information about the MBE is available on the NCBE website at  https://www.ncbex.org/exams/mbe/.

About the Uniform Bar Examination

The UBE is a two-day bar examination composed of the Multistate Essay Examination (MEE), two Multistate Performance Test (MPT) tasks, and the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE). It is uniformly administered, graded, and scored and results in a portable score that can be transferred to other UBE jurisdictions. More information about the UBE is available on the NCBE website at  https://www.ncbex.org/exams/ube/ . 41 US jurisdictions currently participate in the UBE, and more than 45,000 examinees took the UBE in 2023.

I am so grateful to have taken the Premium UBE course . . . For the July 2022 UBE, I used [a commercial course] to study and while it gave the big picture overviews of the subjects, my exam score was only 266 (not enough to pass in NC which requires 270). I decided that I needed to really focus in and get a plan that would help me improve both multiple choice and essays. After taking the JD Advising UBE Premium Course, I passed the February 2023 exam with a UBE score of 307!!!! JD Advising helped me boost my overall score 41 points, which is absolutely incredible. Thank you so much again.

I usually don’t leave reviews BUT I cannot rave enough about JD Advising. This course came highly recommended by a friend, another repeat-taker. I passed the NYS Bar for the third time with 10 points over the passing score – the tears still stream down! Having studied with Bar Prep materials from other companies, the JD ADVISING UBE Course is PHENOMENAL!!!

I used JD Advising [tutoring] for my second attempt to pass the IL UBE bar exam and increased my score by 52 points! I went from being nervous and scared to the 95th percentile of all UBE takers. JD Advising helped me so much for my second attempt for the bar. Also, I was working full-time the second time I took the bar exam and they completely built the schedule around my available time and the amount of weeks I had to study. I can’t recommend their program enough. Compared to other big bar prep services, JD Advising is so much more personalized and they actually 100% care about you and your success on the bar exam. Thank you JD Advising! And thank you so much to my personal tutors who guided me through the whole process, Ninos and Lisa! You are both amazing!

Those with total scale scores after one reading below 1390 fail the examination. If the applicant’s total scale score is at least 1390 but less than 1440 after one reading, all of the applicant’s answers are read a second time by a different set of graders. If the applicant’s averaged total scale score after two readings is 1440 or higher, the applicant passes the examination. Applicants with no grading discrepancies of more than 10 raw points between first and second read grades on any question with averaged total scale scores of less than 1440 fail the examination. Applicants with grading discrepancies more than 10 raw points between first and second read grades on any question whose averaged total scale score is less than 1440 will have those answers referred to the Team member supervising the grading of that particular question for resolution of the discrepancy (Phase III). The Team member will assign a resolution grade to the answer and the resolution grade will replace the averaged grade for that question. If the applicant’s total scale score after resolution grading is 1440 or higher, that applicant passes the examination.
