The New York State Board of Law Examiners examined a total of 3,068 candidates, including U.S. domestic-educated candidates and foreign-educated candidates, first-time and repeat takers, during the two days of testing conducted in-person on February 22-23, 2022. Of those candidates, 1,378 passed for an overall passing rate of 45%.

Successful candidates who also have completed the New York Law Course and taken and passed both the New York Law Exam and the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination as required by the Rules of the New York State Court of Appeals will be certified by the Board to the Appellate Division for admission to the bar. Candidates must then appear before the Committee on Character and Fitness before being admitted to the bar.
