We’ve got some preliminary numbers on the MBE from the July 2013 bar exam. Looks like we had a nice scale with the mean coming in at 144.3 with a range of 41 – 189.9. Kudos to whoever got within 0.1 points of a perfect scaled score of 190! We’ll look more closely at the scale when more results are out. Until then, hang tight as results are coming out slowly over the next month or so here across the country.

My bar exam tutoring roster is full for all jurisdictions for the February 2014 bar exam. I know that results from July are not even out yet, but 1/2 my slots were already full even before the July exam. I apologize to everyone if this seems unfair since results are not even out yet but I only take on a limited number of students each exam. And this year, I had many students contact me quite early. Notwithstanding the above, there are always exceptions, and sometimes students of mine end up not being able to take the exam for one reason or another and drop out. So feel free to email me if you have a strong need for tutoring for the February exam and I will see what I can do to try and help you out. Until then, we are patiently waiting for results, with most jurisdictions releasing results this month, VA and DC at the end of this month, and California of course making us wait the longest until the 22nd of November.
