Both Virginia and DC have released their full results for the February 2024 bar exam. DC’s pass rate for the UBE was quite low, not even reaching 50%, with an overall pass rate of 44.6% representing the 298 people who passed the exam.
Virginia had a higher pass rate as usual with 66.08% of all test takers passing the exam and almost 3/4 (73.49%) of first time takers passing. Congrats to George Mason University and Appalachian School of Law for having the highest overall passing rate at 83.33%!
In the next few weeks I will be taking some time to post about the NextGen Bar Exam that is replacing the existing bar exam (goodbye MBE and essays) in the next few years. Until then, congratulations to everyone who passed! And for those of you that did not pass this time, take some time off to relax and think about your study approach. One of the most important things to do is to change part of your approach for the next time, don’t just repeat the exact same method unless you had extenuating circumstances.
