Virginia Bar Exam results from February 2020 posted – historically low pass rate

Virginia has posted the results for the Feb 2020 bar exam here. The results are some of the lowest pass rates I have ever seen for the Virginia exam, even for a February administration.

Overall the pass rate was just over half at 57.83%, with about 2/3rds of first time test takers achieving a pass rate of 64.23%. This is a low pass rate for Virginia, as it is normally about 10% higher in February. I won’t speculate as to the low pass rate, but hopefully the VBBE has looked into this as more and more states are canceling their July 2020 bar exams every week.

Congratulations goes out to the University of Virginia for having 100% of all test takers pass the Feb 2020 Virginia bar exam! That is an incredible showing. And of course, congratulations to everyone who passed. If you did not pass, take a look at how you studied and where you feel you fell short on the exam. The questions and sample answers are posted on the W&M website as well as the VBBE website, links are in the link section here as well.
