Which state has the hardest bar exam?

Answer 1

California

But never lose heart: Hillary Clinton failed the DC Bar (but later passed the Arkansas Bar).

Answer 2

Many will argue New York or California.

New York tests local issues. California has an extra day of testing that is called the performance exam. It tests you ability to actually analyze a real legal situation.

What the answer is, is likely to be the ultimate attorney answer... it depends...
