The answer is South Dakota, which had a 93% pass rate last year, if we only consider bar clearance rates. But it’s possible that’s not the whole picture.

Pepperdine’s Professor Robert Anderson has written on this topic on his blog: The difficulty of the bar examinations varies significantly amongst the states, he claims. “Walking too near to the testing facility might cause you to unintentionally get entry to some bars because they are so accessible. Some tests are so challenging that the previous dean of Stanford Law School could flunk them. (It appears that what you say truly occurred.) [source]

There are significant variances in the talent pool standing up to take the bar in each state, so while we may compare the bar passage rates for different states, that alone doesn’t give us the whole story. Recognizing this, Professor Anderson calculated a “Bonus Percent” by which other bar tests are easier than the worst one, California, using data on passage rates when the average LSAT score for the same pool of candidates was available.

I’ll be the first to say that I have no idea how regression analysis works, but it is assumed in this case that, all other things being equal, students with higher LSAT scores will be more likely to pass the bar. In any case, it provides us with a beautiful visual that presumably represents the relative difficulty of the bar examinations in different states. I’ve always been told that California’s was the hardest, so I suppose the statistics support that.

I’m hoping the comments might give some insight into how this chart compares to local perceptions of the bar exam’s difficulty. I’m aware of two things: my classmates thought the Illinois bar was not too difficult. In general, we believed it to be significantly simpler than the New York bar that the majority of other students chose to take. The fact that New Jersey, which is high on this chart’s difficulty ranking, is supposed to be extremely simple surprises me. It is probable that this chart isn’t truly capturing the whole situation because the information I have comes from folks who are simultaneously preparing for the NY and NJ exams. I’ve been informed that you don’t need to do much more than prepare for the multistate bar in order to pass the NJ bar test.

This makes me wonder whether there are just a handful of very challenging bar examinations out there. Because there are so many different reasons why individuals fail bars, even though the rest are more simpler, they are nevertheless frequently failed. I believe that even though there are probably less people who study as hard for the NJ bar as they would for the NY bar, those who do fail do so because they didn’t put in the requisite amount of time in their studies.

Since it is impossible to have the same set of people take each bar as if it were their first time, all that is left to be done is to conjecture about the objective differences between the bars. However, it is evident from the figure that certain bar tests are very simple in comparison to others.

Just so everyone is aware, Wisconsin’s bar is by far the easiest to pass as long as you attended law school there. These students can become complete lawyers without ever taking the bar exam in Wisconsin because to a “diploma privilege”!

Nevertheless, it seems that the South Dakota bar is still the simplest to take if you are actually required to take one after all of the investigation.
