It was a BAD week for February test-takers across the country after the announcement that scores from the Multistate Bar Examination fell to a 33-year low.
The mean scaled score fell to 135, down 1.2 points from the previous year.
That’s the lowest average score on a February test since 1983, the ABA Journal reported. February scores are typically lower than July scores, the National Conference of Bar Examiners said.
But even the July 2015 results were down to a 30-year low.
Is the examination getting too hard? Are students getting stupider? Or are law schools admitting students that don’t have a chance of passing? We’ll be keeping an eye on the next round of scores.
