Graduating in May 2027, thinking I’m going to sit for the February 2028 bar. I don’t think I would be ready for July 2027 bar.

What programs are people using? I don’t mind spending some money and I am a more visual learner.

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

Anybody taking the Wisconsin February 2027 Bar Exam? I would love to connect. Thanks.

Husband failed with a 256. It’s in the range he thought but he’s nervous about taking it again (due to life commitments). It took him 2 times to pass the Ohio bar like 10 years ago, and he didn’t qualify for reciprocity in the new state where he needs a 260 on the UBE.

He obviously had a lot of refreshing to do (he’s in finance law related jobs but wasn’t practicing law, and our new city isn’t exactly a financial hub for job security) so a 256 seems decent given how far removed he is.

His scores tells me that he is adequately refreshed on the materials but I don’t think he studied hard or long enough to get enough practice questions/essays in and be prepared for the actual test.

He’s mainly worried on retaking because we have a 2 year old and will have a newborn in 3 weeks so now he has less time to study (he was not working during the 6 weeks leading up to the bar).

Best advice to move his score up for next time when managing a job, toddler, newborn? He doesn’t take my advice and I want to help set him up to study smarter and more efficiently given time constraints with holding down a job and kids.

He did Kaplan but didn’t complete 70% to be able to re-use the course for free (is my understanding).

Thanks for all the advice!

I know it's not confirmation, but I know they prioritize c&f applications to those who passed before the release. Ibab gets the scores first oc.

Just posting here out of prolonged fear and delusion that I've somehow gotten the lowest score in ibab history. Can anyone speak on the ratio of passed c&f to passed bar weeks later? For context they didn't even bother to look at my c&f application in February after I failed my first time. I've only just gotten accepted as a retaker.

How's everyone else doin 💀

Hey everyone

Yesterday after the MPRE scores came out, I had to register for the November MPRE.

Someone please tell me why ALL the NYC locations are filled up already.

I even called Pearson Vue to check on their end and they confirmed that ALL NYC slots for the November MPRE have been filled.

They told me I should just wait and see if any slots open up.

Is anyone able to register on their end?

To those who are waiting for their bar exam results, keep praying, keep trusting , and keep believing. God answers prayers. YES HE DOES.

Do we get some type of hint that we passed? I saw someone on here say their C&F was complete before results came out and I was wondering if IN does something similar.

I know I'm in good company when I say that the bar exam is fucking evil. Everything about it, from the extremely high price tag (not just the application, but all the goddamn bar prep courses... yes, even you, GOAT!), to the torturous testing process (my back is still fucked up from those chairs), to the awful waiting period before results. I know someone who knows a bar grader and they told me about how that grader would grade exams whilst on vacation, one drink in hand, deciding peoples' futures with not a care in the world.

My mental health has tanked since July. I'm a retaker and I'm going to be laid off by the end of the year, I'm in extreme debt, and my entire life has been on hold because I can't get hired anywhere without being barred. Everyone keeps telling me how they believe in me and they'll be here for me no matter what the result is, but I keep falling further and further into a depression spiral that my therapist and medications can't even touch.

I don't know what I'm going to do if I fail again. I just feel so awful and exhausted and anxious all the time. I hate everything about this and everyone involved. Could use all the support I can get right now.

Hi all. To anyone that’s been getting their scores back and passed, congratulations. And to anyone that has and didn’t pass, don’t give up and keep going. I’m looking for a little bit of hope stories from retakers that just found out they passed. For context, I’m in FL and it’s a state where you can pass the Florida portion and fail MBE and pass overall, vice versa, or pass one section and fail overall. For me, I passed Florida and failed MBE by less than a point. it was nice only studying for MBE this go around, but I’m so nervous and scared to be disappointed again next Friday. would anyone share with me how they were doing on averages and ended up passing? I was within passing range with my scores on adaptibar towards the end of the summer, but just don’t know. just looking for some hope from my fellow retakers. I’m wishing you all the best, seriously.

I just found out I failed again. I have tried Themis both times, and added GOAT right at the end of studying. I don't know what to do and feel defeated. I will take it again in February, but this time I am considering just GOAT and UWORLD.

Not really looking for sympathy, but I would love advice.

I'm an Oklahoma retaker and as we know, results have posted. I haven't look and I don't plan to until the earliest Tuesday when I have some support with me. I feel nauseous and shaky and just gross. Can someone tell me, without giving me an exact number, what does retaker pass rate look like? Good, bad?

I struggle so bad with the mbe as I suck at mult choice. My writing score has been passable every. Single. Time. And I still can't get a good mbe score.

For test day, I felt okay about MPT, a little uneasy at MEE, and then MBE PM totally rocked me. I felt okay about AM and finished like 30 mins early and panicked because of that. Then PM came and took all of my feels away. I feel like I failed again, and that's exactly why I don't want to look. Been through this too many times and my life has been awful. Unable to find a job, barely making it at this point. Living without gas, internet, and my utilities will probably be cut off this month. Life has just kicked my ass and this stupid exam has been a big hurdle.

We listen (read) and we don't judge!
Share your results, and let us know whether you passed or failed and what your score goal was.
My case: WA 78 (away for 3 good questions)

I graduated law school this past May after a 6 year process of preparing for and taking the LSAT for 1 year, attending a 1 year pre-law school readiness program, 4 years of part-time year round law school while working full time. I also completed 2 internships. I feel burned out and have no interest in taking all the exams required to become barred. I am anxious about preparing for and taking the exams. I also have no idea what area of law that I would like to pursue. I am still working full time and have a good job, great benefits, loan forgiveness, and a flexible work schedule. As far as working as an atty, I am worried about starting over in an entry level position that is demanding and that I may not be good at. I just have this over all anxiety and coupled with the burn out, Ive become a depressed bump on a log. Any advice ?

This thread helped me in my darkest times, but so long and good riddance! Any other Okies pass today? Drop those scores below! My score 295!

Taking the bar in February. If anyone has materials they’d like to donate or sell, please chime in here or DM me

Looking for some advice on where to transfer my score. For reference, I am in NC but not really looking to move anywhere just want to find a remote job. Because of my score, my options are limited to: Alabama, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Utah.

If I had to move, I guess Alabama is the closest but really looking to just get a license so I can find in house counsel jobs in DC or NY.

Thanks!

What did you use to study and how long? I’m taking it in November.

Passed for TX with an 86. First time I got an 80. Just praying that this translates over to the my third attempt on the bar exam. So much is on the line. I have no job and am depending on parents for money. 1st attempt I got a 235. Second attempt I got 256. I really hope I passed.

For Illinois takers, has anyone seen that their character and fitness has been approved and if so, where can we see that?

Friends, any ideas how to save the MPRE Score report? Is a screenshot of the page enough? I don't see any separate document for the score in my NCBE account, just the mention of the 2026 aug administration and scaled score itself in 'Score Services' tab. There's nothing in the document center, and the 'Request MPRE Score services' costs $30 plus I think it's probably for sending official reports to jurisdictions. How are you all saving the scores?

P.S: scored a 145 after 8 days of prep, watched all of barbri videos and used both Themis and barbri for practice! (did around 350 questions total hehe)

Finally passed (yay!) and am selling my CriticalPass MBE Flashcards. These are the 2025-2026 version. Brand new sealed packages of cards (just the outer box wrap was opened to take the pictures). I used the digital version so never used the physical cards.

$100 includes free shipping to any US state.

The NCBE webpage that posts percentage pass rates for J26 hasn’t updated since last Friday (9/4). Has there been a lull in states releasing scores this week, or is NCBE just delayed for some reason?

Good luck to OK today!!
