About the DC Bar Exam
The District of Columbia Bar Examination is the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE), which the District adopted in 2016. It consists of the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE, 200 multiple-choice questions, 50%), the Multistate Essay Examination (MEE, six essays, 30%), and the Multistate Performance Test (MPT, two tasks, 20%), for a combined scaled score out of 400. A passing score is 266. Under DC Court of Appeals Rule 46(e)(3), lawyers who have actively practiced as members in good standing of another US bar for at least 3 of the 5 years before applying may be admitted without examination. The District will administer the NCBE's NextGen bar exam beginning in February 2028, with the legacy UBE given for the last time in July 2027.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the DC Bar vocabulary game free?
Yes. The game is free to play with no sign-up. Signing in adds AI explanations for any term.
How do the DC Bar vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 DC Bar terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
Where do the DC Bar terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the Committee on Admissions, District of Columbia Court of Appeals content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
What is the passing score for the DC Bar Exam?
The District of Columbia requires a combined UBE scaled score of 266 out of 400 to pass. The score blends the MBE (50%), the MEE (30%), and the MPT (20%). Because DC is a UBE jurisdiction, a qualifying score is portable: it can be transferred to other UBE states, and DC accepts qualifying UBE scores earned elsewhere that meet its 266 minimum.
How is the DC Bar Exam structured?
The DC Bar Exam is the Uniform Bar Examination, administered over two days. Day 1 consists of six Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) essays and two Multistate Performance Tests (MPTs). Day 2 is the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE): 200 multiple-choice questions in two three-hour sessions of 100 questions each. The MBE is weighted 50%, the MEE 30%, and the MPT 20%.
