About the MD Bar Exam
The Maryland Bar Examination tests entry-level competence to practice law in Maryland. Maryland adopted the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) in July 2019 and began administering the NextGen UBE in July 2026; the qualifying NextGen score is 616. The NextGen exam replaces the legacy MBE/MEE/MPT with three 3-hour sections that blend foundational doctrinal subjects with foundational lawyering skills. Maryland law is not tested on the exam; applicants complete the separate Maryland Law Component instead.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Maryland 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 Maryland Bar vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 Maryland 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 Maryland Bar terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the Maryland State Board of Law Examiners 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 Maryland Bar Exam?
Maryland's qualifying score on the NextGen UBE is a scaled score of 616; NextGen scores run from 500 to 750. On the Legacy UBE, which Maryland gave through February 2026, the qualifying score is 266, and a Legacy score of 266 or more earned in another UBE jurisdiction still counts until it expires. A qualifying score can be transferred among UBE jurisdictions, subject to each one's rules.
Is Maryland a NextGen UBE state, and when does it start?
Yes. Maryland is one of the early-adopter jurisdictions for the NCBE's NextGen Uniform Bar Examination, with its first NextGen administration in July 2026. The NextGen exam replaces the legacy MBE, MEE, and MPT with three integrated sessions that combine standalone multiple-choice questions, integrated question sets, and performance tasks, testing both foundational legal doctrine and foundational lawyering skills.
