In good news for both Georgia Bar Exam applicants and the state’s law schools, the pass rate for the July exam increased across the board, according to results released Tuesday by the Georgia Office of Bar Admissions.

The overall pass rate for all 1,283 test-takers jumped to 65.8%, a notable increase from 61.2% for the July 2018 exam. The pass rate for first-time test-takers was even higher at 79.6%, up from 72.9% the prior year, and the pass rates at all five Georgia law schools increased significantly. (Even the pass rate for repeaters increased 6.5 points to 25%.)
