Comparatively, the July 2018 overall pass rate falls between the 66 percent in July 2017 and the 64 percent in July 2016. Among first-time takers, 75 percent passed the July 2018 bar, which matches the July 2017 passage rate and is a few notches above the 72 percent rate from July 2016.
The preliminary results for July 2018 had the overall passage rate at 62 percent and the first-time rate at 72 percent. A total of 453 people took the exam in July, down from the 529 who took the exam in July 2017 and the 508 from July 2016.
Repeat takers hit a passage rate of 35 percent in the final results, which continues an upward trend. The passage rate was 30 percent in 2016 then improved to 32 percent in July 2017.
