"... when examining only those who passed the exam (i.e. licensed or license-pending attorneys), GPT-4’s performance is estimated to drop to ∼48th percentile overall, and ∼15th percentile on essays ..."

so this means that ChatGPT is right in the middle of the performance of licensed or license-pending attorneys.

and for essays its still better than 15 percent of the humans.

Still quite impressive ...
