The current bar exam in most jurisdictions is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbex.org\/exams\/ube\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uniform Bar Examination<\/a>, or the Legacy UBE. The new bar exam is called the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbex.org\/exams\/nextgen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NextGen UBE<\/a>. Additionally, almost every US jurisdiction requires its applications to pass the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbex.org\/exams\/mpre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination<\/a> (MPRE).<\/p>\n<p>Below you will find information about the MPRE and the Legacy-NextGen transition for those intending to sit for the bar exam between July 2026 and February 2028. Regardless of which exam you will take, we encourage you to meet with Noeleen Urmson, Associate Director of Academic and Professional Success, for additional information and guidance.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#MPREABT\"> About the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#UBETR\"> Universal Bar Exam Transition: Legacy to NextGen<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#LGUBE\"> About the Legacy Uniform Bar Exam<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"#NGUBE\"> About the NextGen Uniform Bar Exam <\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 id=\"MPREABT\"><strong><em>About the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbex.org\/exams\/mpre\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MPRE<\/a> is a two-hour, 60-question multiple-choice examination that is administered three times per year. Developed by the NCBE, the MPRE is required for admission to practice in all but two US jurisdictions (Wisconsin and Puerto Rico). Note: Connecticut and New Jersey accept successful completion of a law school course on professional responsibility in lieu of a passing score on the MPRE. Many examinees take the MPRE while they are still in law school, but there is no requirement that you do so.<\/p>\n<p>The purpose of the MPRE is to measure examinees\u2019 knowledge and understanding of established standards related to the professional conduct of lawyers. The MPRE is not a test to determine an individual\u2019s personal ethical values.<\/p>\n<p>MPRE requirements vary from one jurisdiction to another, so examinees are advised to check with the governing body for bar admission in the jurisdiction to which they seek admission before registering for the MPRE. Passing scores and timelines to take the exam are established by each <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbex.org\/jurisdictions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">jurisdiction<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The MPRE is administered at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pearsonvue.com\/us\/en\/ncbe.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dedicated testing centers<\/a> in all US jurisdictions. Students studying abroad in their last year who wish to take the MPRE before they graduate should plan accordingly.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbex.org\/exams\/mpre\/test-accommodations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Testing accommodations requests<\/a> are made directly to NCBE. Examinees seeking testing accommodations for the MPRE must apply for, and receive their determination, before registering for the exam and scheduling a test appointment. Applications should be submitted well in advance of the desired MPRE testing administration, and no later than the Recommended Submission Date for that administration.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"UBETR\"><strong><em>Universal Bar Exam Transition: Legacy to NextGen<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Between July 2026 and February 2028, the Legacy UBE will gradually be replaced by the NextGen UBE. The Legacy UBE will sunset after the February 2028 administration; beginning in July 2028, only the NextGen UBE will be offered. Both exams will be offered during this transition period, and each jurisdiction adopting the NextGen UBE determines when they will first administer the exam.<\/p>\n<p>During the UBE transition period, examinees will have a choice: whether to sit for the Legacy UBE or the NextGen UBE. This is determined by where and when the examinee sits for the exam.
