The 2017 Pass Rates have been published on NCARB's website.
4.0: https://www.ncarb.org/pass-the-are/are4/pass-rates
5.0: https://www.ncarb.org/pass-are/are5/pass-rates
As expected, some 5.0 pass rates increased as more candidates took the exams.

Rough numbers without knowing how many tested in Nov. & Dec. 2016:
First half = 4,092
Second half = 3,565

I would have expected a bit more of a bump -- three of the exams did not change at all. The 5.0 exam is still new, or at least new-ish, but I think candidates are starting to collectively figure out what's on the 5.0 exams and how to study -- which I'd have expected to have created a noticeable difference in success rate from the time when I started the 5.0 process about a year ago. At that time there were still the early tester gift card benefits, the months-long waiting period for scores while waiting for enough test takers to achieve a 600 person scoring cut, etc., etc. -- at that time it seemed like no one knew what the hell was supposed to be happening.
