Data on 2010 Bar Exam "Cut" Scores & Pass Rates

Although many recent law grads are in the final throes of Bar exam preparation, I thought linking to a recent post studying the relation between Bar exam "cut" scores and pass rates (for first-time test takers from ABA-approved law schools) across states would not unduly increase exam anxiety. As Gary Rosin's (South Texas) post at The Faculty Lounge makes clear, the relation is more-or-less linear and negative. (By "negative" I mean only that as cut scores increase pass rates decrease.) Also clear is a surprising (to me, anyway) degree of variation in cut scores across states (in 2010).
