About the NC Bar Exam
The North Carolina Bar Examination is the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE), administered by the Board of Law Examiners of the State of North Carolina since February 2019. Day 1 features the Multistate Essay Examination (6 essays) and the Multistate Performance Test (2 tasks); Day 2 is the 200-question Multistate Bar Examination (MBE). The MBE is weighted 50%, the MEE 30%, and the MPT 20%, and a combined scaled score of 270 out of 400 is required to pass. North Carolina has no state-specific component for current UBE applicants; from November 15, 2027, general applicants must also pass a North Carolina multiple-choice exam on Decedents' Estates and Trusts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the NC 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 NC Bar vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 NC 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 NC Bar terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the Board of Law Examiners of the State of North Carolina 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 North Carolina Bar Exam?
North Carolina requires a combined Uniform Bar Examination scaled score of 270 out of 400 to pass, which corresponds to 135 on the 200-point MBE scale. The MBE is weighted 50%, the MEE 30%, and the MPT 20%. A strong MBE score can offset a weaker written score, since only the combined total must reach 270.
Is the North Carolina Bar Exam the UBE?
Yes. North Carolina adopted the Uniform Bar Examination effective with the February 2019 administration. The exam consists of the Multistate Bar Examination (200 MBE questions), the Multistate Essay Examination (6 MEE essays), and the Multistate Performance Test (2 MPT tasks), all prepared by the National Conference of Bar Examiners. Your UBE score can be transferred to other UBE jurisdictions, each of which sets its own minimum score and maximum score age; North Carolina accepts transferred scores of 270 or more that are up to 3 years old.
