SMITH, ESQ.\u003Cbr>THE NEVADA BAR EXAM: THE STATISTICS |  |  |\n|  | The facts and figures are in. Nevada’s UNLV Boyd Law School graduates continue to do well on the Nevada bar exam. The following charts summarize the pass rates for the Nevada bar exam from 2008 to 2017. In addition, the Boyd School of Law has provided a summary of their students’ pass rates compared to other first-time Nevada bar exam takers.\u003Cbr>Originally, the Nevada bar exam was held only once a year, every July. Starting in 2004, the exam was offered in the winter in addition to the summer to accommodate UNLV’s night graduates and repeat test-takers.\u003Cbr>The make-up of the bar exam continues to evolve. For example, in 2017 “Commercial Paper” was eliminated as a tested subject. The current exam takes place over a period of three days and consists of eight essay questions prepared by the state bar’s Board of Bar Examiners, plus the Multi-State Bar Exam (MBE): a six-hour multiple choice exam, prepared by the National Conference of Bar Examiners. The MBE recently added “Civil Procedure” as a test subject. There is also one 90-minute Multi-State Performance Test question.\u003Cbr>Nevada’s exam is among the toughest in the nation; however, first-time test takers have a significantly higher pass rate. According to the Boyd School of Law, 79 percent of first-time takers passed the exam in 2017, compared to 59 percent of all exam takers. | State Bar of Nevada: Pass Rates*\u003Cbr>Year No. Examined No. Passed Percentage Passed July 2017 302 198 66.0% Feb. 2017 221 108 49.0% July 2016 297 150 51.0% Feb. 2016 217 115 53.0% July 2015 309 186 60.0% Feb. 2015 222 135 61.0% July 2014 332 191 57.0% Feb. 2014 225 128 57.0% July 2013 354 233 66.0% Feb. 2013 205 110 54.0% July 2012 338 232 69.0% Feb. 2012 211 117 56.0% July 2011 321 211 66.0% Feb. 2011 221 140 63.0% July 2010 388 255 66.0% Feb. 2010 246 118 48.0% July 2009 386 245 63.0% Feb. 2009 264 147 56.0% July 2008 436 300 69.0% Feb. 2008 313 179 57.0%\u003Cbr>*Source: State Bar of Nevada Admissions Department |  |\n|  | UNLV William S.
