The VBBE has posted the Feb 2018 Virginia Bar Exam results. The pass percentages are a little discouraging for first time takers with only 60% passing. The overall pass rate was just below 50%. Congratulations to the students from Regent University with the highest pass rate at almost 82% with UVA coming in a close second place at 75%. I felt this exam was slightly harder than usual but this is usually accounted for with the scale and other factors, but the properly prepared students passed. Here is a link to the full results.
For those of you who passed, congratulations! Your hard work paid off and you are now Virginia licensed attorneys. The swearing in ceremony is Wednesday June 6, 2018 at 10:30AM in Richmond. It’s a great ceremony and well worth attending with friends and family. For those of you who didn’t pass, do not be discourage. Instead, re-evaluate your approach to studying and determine what you could and should do differently next time.
Hoping for the DC results at the first week in May.
