South Carolina Bar-exam Passage
In South Carolina, the bar exam is administered twice a year, in July and February. July is the primary testing date for those who graduate in May. A much smaller group, generally out-of-state applicants, repeat takers, and December graduates, take the February exam. The school graduated its first students in May 2007 who sat for the exam in July 2007. The following are the pass rates for school alumni for each South Carolina bar exam since July 2007.
| February | July | |
|---|---|---|
| 2007 | --- | 69.9%* |
| 2008 | 47.9% | 72.2% |
| 2009 | 53.7% | 75.9% |
| 2010 | 60.0% | 72.3% |
| 2011 | 63.5% | 75.0% |
| 2012 | 40.3 | 69.9% |
* The July 2007 results were revised upwards (from an original 65 percent rate) after the South Carolina Supreme Court threw out a section of the exam because of an error by a bar examiner.
