Reader Poll: How Many People Actually Have Their Bar Results
In case you haven’t been following along, it appears that the NY Board of Law Examiners website is unavailable or unstable. It’s preventing exam takers from accessing their scores.
But how many? Please answer the poll below so we can see how many people are waiting for an oxygen mask to drop down from the ceiling.
Try to remain patient people, I’m sure that NY BOLE had no idea so many people would be visiting their website today.

First, bitches!
Maybe, in light recent economic events, NY decided to fail everyone.
I got my result at the new site: https://www.nybarresults.org/resultslu/results.asp
That should work for everybody; it's up and fast. I passed at every part except for the "remembering to send my MPRE to the bar examiners" portion of the test. Thankfully, I did thot today...

1 = first to post and discover s/he failed.
MysTTTal would eat everyone's a**hole with a spoon...it looks like chocolate.
For those having trouble getting on the site download apple safari (it's free and works for windows) then try going to the site again it worked for me (and some other people I know) the first time i tried it after struggling all morning and afternoon with firefox and explorer.
I got my result through my blackberry. It's easy when you switch the capital "B" on your BOLE ID to a lower-case "b."
Good luck to all of you still waiting to get your results.
(Also, I passed.)
This poll is flawed. Where is: "I passed. Not like it matters in this economy." That is the only one for me.
The website is working now - they put a patch up. The main BOLE page should directly take you to this page: https://www.nybarresults.org/resultslu/results.asp
Good luck!
NY Bar exam is for people who want to drive taxis in Manhattan, right?
"Try to remain patient people, I'm sure that NY BOLE had no idea so many people would be visiting their website today."
Awesome.
this test sucks from beginning to end.
lern2internet NY BOLE.
thank GOD i passed.
laughing at all the suckers working in NY who took a back-up Bar exam (eg., NJ, Conn., etc.). 50% more Bar exam = 100% more CLE.
It worked for me. You just have to download safari, write a b instead of B, stand on one leg, lift your right arm, close one eye, breath twice then hold you breath, says your id out loud, press enter with you right index and wait for the result.
try it, it works.
btw, Elie, frequent critic saying: Good post and quality snark. More like this, please.
To all the racists out there --- I am black and I passed.
BOLE got its stuff together. Go back to nybarexam.org and click on the link to exam results. It's a new site, and the results come up quickly.
our first year class just got a prank e-mail about CA bar results being released a week early. most fell for it.
16 -- That tells us much more about the bar exam than about you.
MysTTTal
i'm humble and grateful to have passed. however, i was wondering...
if you pass, the results page says PASS. does that mean that ppl who failed got FAIL? because, wow.
PEANUTS and CHEESE for all who passed! For those who failed . . . well, I'm in a generous mood, so PEANUTS and CHEESE for those folks, too! Yippee!
To all those that failed, I say ha ha ha
lol @ 16, what's your point?
Yao Ming is Asian and tall, so by your amazing logic that means Asians cannot be short.
Historically, the pass rate for US-educated first-time white takers has been around 85%, while that of blacks has been around 55%. We'll see if this year is any different.

Um, can we see results without voting? I happen to still be waiting but I'd like to know.
Also, isn't this a fairly flawed poll as people who vote will be going from "don't know" to "pass/fail" eventually?
I have a question: I heard that people who looked up their results early this morning saw their name, birthdate, then either PASS or FAIL. But, now, I just finally got into the website (via the new link you guys provided), and it says my name, birthdate, and then just a paragraph congratulating me on passing. It doesn't have a status of PASS. Should I be concerned that due to a technical glitch, the NY BOLE just cut and pasted that paragraph about passing beneath everyone's name and birthday? Or would you guys think this is genuine? i am just still in shock. Please tell me your thoughts.

I'm in ur Javitts Center, passin ur examz
27/28: BOLE is now sending you to a new page; I think they're now using last year's exam-result-releasing system (b/c obviously this year's one blows chunks). Last year's system doesn't give you the separate "PASS" line; instead, it just gives you the congratulations message. So, don't worry about it: it's not a glitch, and you still passed.
HELLO ALL MY INTERNET FRIENDS HOW ARE YOU TODAY
To all the racists out there -- I passed the bar and I have a Kuato who is black.
more like: "I passed, now hopefully I can find some crap job in this horrendous market."
32: Any thoughts on 22's post?
27/28: Now that everybody is using the new link, the old link actually works. Look yourself up here as well, if it'll make you feel better: https://www.nybarapply.org/OnlineExamResults.aspx
Congrats MysTTTal, a decent post without any major grammatical/spelling errors.
Good job MysTTTal. No major spelling or grammar mistakes in this post. There's hope for you yet!
My Kuato would like to speak now.
"To all of the racists out there who thought I couldn't pass. Suck it. QUADDE!!!!!!!!!!!"
I passed, but was essentially already "laid off" by Thelen. I can't wait to start this personal training job.
To all of you losers who just discovered you passed the New York Bar, kindly note the following:
1. Congratulations. You should be proud of this great accomplishment.
2. Nobody here gives a shit that you -"a guest" - passed. Keep it to yourself and stop using this forum to use a "clever" comment as cover for your sad need to tell everyone about your recent success.
16 --
What's your point? Do you want a cookie? Have you been under a rock? We held an election. A non-white person won. Affirmative action is dead.
The fact that you passed means that you can't fall back on any excuse that you had to overcome something. If you want to overcome adverse circumstances, go break your leg and try to walk for a few months. No one cares about your race or your socioeconomic status.
Glad you passed. But seriously, get over yourself.
Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty! They let my ass PASS!!!!
To all those that passed congratualations, but we regret to inform you that your services will no longer be needed as a) management has decided to eliminate your role as a part of reduction in force and b) your role has now been outsourced to someone who can do it just as well for 2 cents per hour.
To all those still looking for a job, you wasted thousands of dollars on law school and months of your life studying for a profession that won't hire you anyhow.
According to the NY Law Journal, 91% of law school graduates passed. 74.7% overall (including LLM and repeat) passed.
Historic High.
New Poll. Everyone try to fill in the bleeps to the third option in Elie's poll.
Funniest comment gets Elie's afternoon snack (a/k/a dinner for a year).
Arkansas results have been out since the Friday before Labor Day. Every other state is a TTT.
Really? Arkansas leads the nation? Nobody cares when they release their results. Does the rule of law even exist there? Are you now an officer of the court, or a deputized sheriff, complete with posse? Rube.
46, it's a lot easier to come out with bar exam results earlier when the examiners can just grade your Scantron full of true/false answers through a machine.
44 - Do you have a link for that?
Does anybody really care what black people think?
49 - No. I just have the NY Law Journal in front of me.
Can you do a post on those of us waiting for CPA exam results?
Considering the legal market sucks.....
16... everyone knows you chocolate monkeys drink at bars not become members of them. You c00ns sleep on benches with a bottle of boons farm, you don't sit on them as a justice of the peace.
..but why a spoon? why not an AXE???..
53 -- True dat.
Pride
New York is even worse than Illinois, and not just in bar exam results.
53....come up from the basement, take a shower and get a job...
Love, Mom
wouldn't it be nice if ATL could look up the IP address of commenters like 53 and find out for which firm or school they work /attend. and then obtain the MAC address to find from which workstation they're typing up their racist comments.
yeah...it would be nice.
New York is even worse than Illinois, and not just in bar exam results.
58, amen.
48,
False. Scantron does not read the crayon I used to fill in my exam.
46
No reason for most firms to retain those that FAIL in the current economic climate. Can't justify it. Be ready for MORE BAD NEWS.
30/35, thank you so much for clarifying why I only had the paragraph (no PASS) and suggesting a retry of this year's link. I really couldn't enjoy drinking until I saw that PASS, and Lord knows you both made my night.
16 was most likely given a "special" bar examination -- one that tested his/her ability to be shiftless at work without being detected; and if detected, how to sue his/her employer racial discrimination in the workplace.
And BTW, 16's implication is that whoever recognizes the fact that blacks and other minorities pass at lower rates than whites is a racist. Not so! We just merely look at the numbers. Someone needs to inform black law school grads that finishing law school doesn't give them a license to be their usual shiftless selves. It's no wonder blacks don't excel after law school.
wake up 65, back here on earth, a black law school graduate was elected president. All of the lawyer/commentors on this post who write such hateful comments are truly the ones who demonstrate that even ignorant fools can pass a bar exam.
Does anyone know anyone who failed? Seriously...why is the passage rate so ridiculously high!
I'm with 67. I hear even Hofstra and GULC grads passed.
I am shocked and appalled by the racist comments out there. If you feel the need to spew such racist comments in anonymity, I sure hope that you can reconcile that this country is changing and you need to wake up and realize that a majority of YOUR future work will involve a diverse group of people. Law is supposed to be a legal profession. I sure hope you can pass the MPRE with that kind of attitude. Oh yea, and I passed the exam and no I am not some affirmative action "charity" case so eff off.
"The New York State Board of Law Examiners announced today that the passing rate for
graduates of New York’s 15 law schools taking the bar examination for the first time in July
2008 was 91.0%. This surpasses the historically high passing rate achieved by this same group
who took the July 2007 examination by 2.8%."

69:
"Law is supposed to be a legal profession"?!
Are medicine or engineering supposed to be illegal professions?!!
And you say you are not some affirmative action "charity" case .
Looks very affirmative and very charity-like to me.
65:
"It's no wonder blacks don't excel after law school."
You insinuating they excel in law school?
who cares. ny is a ttt.
i'm ready for ca bar results.
69: I agree. I'm really surprised that there are people on this site that want to be lawyers. It's easy to hide your true identity & make racist comments. They really wouldn't have the "balls" to use their real name.
I will walk up to the biggest black guy and call him a black law student. so what.
Obama only was smart enough to excel in law school and get elected due to his white blood. A full-blown blackie would never accomplish that much - they're just too lazy
Last time I checked, the color of all human blood was red.
Can the stupid racist comments please be deleted? Go back to AutoAdmit with that crap.
to the #16's out there, I am white and wealthy and I passed. What now?
Why isn't there a button to report comments as inappropriate? The racist comments really cast an ugly light on a day that for 91% of takers was a great day and a huge relief.
