After a temporary improvement in the passage rate for Indiana's bar exam, that number is coming back down.

The Indiana Supreme Court's annual report shows the bar exam passage rate has dropped from more than 70 percent five years ago.

The number of people passing Indiana's bar exam hit an all-time low last February, when only 51 percent of all takers passed.

Indiana's bar passage rate ticked up very slightly this year, to 61 percent. But it had gotten worse six consecutive years before that.

A new report indicates the number of students who passed hit a record low in February.
