My passing PDF is one page and 23 KB for whatever that's worth. In past years the failing letter was three pages and around 90 KB. EDIT: Failing letter is still three pages but may be around 49 KB.

Huh, I'm at 24 KB. Maybe that one extra KB is to say how I can retake it. Has there been a more significant differential between passing and failing file size in the past? I suppose past failing letters might have been different in the pre-UBE era.

I failed the bar by LESS than one point. You need a 266, I received a 265.1. I don't even know what to say, but I thought it merited posting.
my condolences. however, you can help me; was your file larger than 23-24 KB? Is it just one page? I'm afraid to open my attachment and was kind of hoping the failing letters are larger than the passing letters

That was basically my nightmare :( You'll almost certainly get it next time.

49 kb, three pages instead of one.

My passing letter was 31.

thank you. so... odds are if I'm at 24 KB I passed? unless mine is a one-page "you did so horribly we're not going to even give you supplemental retake info, go away"

I may have misinterpreted the other poster who said their letter was 24 KB and made it sound like they had failed. Someone else just posted it's still three pages but only 49 KB.

Of the 10,297 who sat for the July exam, 6,570 passed the test, for a passage rate of about 64 percent.

For first-time text takers who graduated from American Bar Associated accredited law schools, the passage rate was 83 percent, according to the Board of Law Examiners. That is up from the 79 percent who passed last year's July exam and on par with the 83 percent who passed the 2014 test.

I still haven't opened my 24 KB attachment, but no I was just joking that maybe the extra KB in my 24 vs. someone else's 23 was retake info. sorry for the confusion.
