As of last week, it’s now possible to “ace” the bar exam in Tennessee. Last week it was announced that Tennessee will begin grading applicants’ bar exams this February, instead of just issuing a pass/fail result. Candidates will now receive a number score on the essay portion of the bar exam. More information can be found in this article, “New Tenn. bar exam not just pass-fail, but grades candidates.”
Perhaps some other states might soon follow their lead?
Results from the July 2010 Tennessee Bar Examination were released this morning, Monday, October 11, 2010. Successful applicants are listed alphabetically by last name and posted on the Tennessee Board of Law Examiners website and the Tennessee Bar Association website. Official results were mailed to applicants on Friday, October 8, 2010. Congratulations to everyone who passed!
