Good pass rates are the result of the hard work of the participants—especially in the weeks between the end of the Seminar and the exam itself—rather than of the Seminar instructor. The following table shows the pass rates starting when Exam M was initiated in May 2005, including the earlier Course 3 results since most of the content of Course 3 and Exam M is the same, and continuing with the MLC rates starting in May 2007 and 3L starting in May 2008; here the pass rate for one date is defined as (number of people passing the exam at the sitting immediately following the Seminar) divided by (number of people attending the Seminar that time), while the cumulative rates are the sum of those numerators divided by the sum of those denominators.
