Funny how the "known fact" of 50% Part A passes is a recent phenomenon.
In my time virtually everybody passed Part A. If you failed, its because you either totally didn't study for the paper or totally misread a major question, which wouldn't happen if you studied, by the way.
Terrible that they're using the Bar Exams as a gatekeeper for who gets to practice. Very inefficient allocation of resources. We moving towards a system like Japan where only 10% of aspiring lawyers pass the qualification examinations
