It’s going to be a long wait, but here are the dates we’re looking at for CA, MD, VA, DC and NY:
California results expected November 16th, 2012
Maryland results expected November 2nd, 2012
Virginia results expected October 12th, 2012
Washington DC results estimated around Oct 25th, 2012
New York results estimated around Nov 8th, 2012
Day 1 of the Virginia bar exam is done and we saw Trusts, Federal Civil Procedure (it’s back), Domestic Relations, Sales (UCC2), Property, Wills, Criminal, Corporations and VA Civ Pro.
No major surprises, now it’s time to switch over to multistate mode and tackle the MBE tomorrow. Hopefully they go easy on some of the strange property questions this time around.
For those of you that didn’t notice, we have started posting daily Virginia bar exam tips to our twitter feed. Simply do a hashtag search for #barexam #totd on twitter or follow us at The Bar Exam Tutor on Twitter
Starting in June we will also have daily MBE tips. And of course, let us know if you have any suggestions for tips or info you’d like to have during the next 7 weeks of bar preparation.
The February 2012 Virginia bar exam results have been posted: (http://www.vbbe.state.va.us/bar/barresults.html)
It was a tough exam with just over 1/2 of test takers passing (55.68%) and 2/3s (66.16%) of first-time takers passing. Kudos goes to George Mason University School of Law with the highest overall pass rate of 77.27%.
To everyone who passed, first and foremost, congratulations! To everyone who did not pass, don’t despair. Regroup, reassess and get ready for the July 2012 exam. Think about what you did, how much time you studied, etc. Then, promise yourself to make this summer all about studying and passing the exam.
Hopefully we will see MD/DC/NY results soon. Good luck to everyone still waiting for results.
We have the Feb 2012 MBE mean and range scores to share with everyone:
Mean MBE Scaled Score for Total Population (National): 136.980
Range of MBE Scaled Scores for Total Population (National): 74.300-183.900
So, a mean score of about 137 (scaled) with the worst score being a 74 and a fantastic high score of almost 184. This is a typical mean for a February MBE administration.
As for upcoming (projected) results, here are the dates we have so far:
VA – Projected April 26, 2012
DC – Projected Early May 2012
MD – Projected May 4, 2012
NY – Projected Late April / Early May 2012
Looks like the Virginia (VA) bar exam results will be posted on April 25 or 26th. Just over a month to wait. Usually these dates are quite accurate so Wednesday-Friday that week will be the day. Good luck to everyone who is waiting for their results.
