About the NextGen Bar Exam

The NextGen Bar Examination is the redesigned, skills-focused bar exam developed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) to replace the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE). Its first administration is July 28-29, 2026 in 10 pilot jurisdictions: Connecticut, Guam, Idaho, Maryland, Missouri, Northern Mariana Islands, Oregon, Palau, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Washington. Approximately 50 jurisdictions will adopt the NextGen format between July 2026 and July 2028. The exam consists of 3 sessions across 1.5 days (9 hours total), with each session containing 40 multiple-choice questions, 1 performance task, and 2 integrated question sets that test 8 substantive subjects integrated with 7 foundational lawyering skills.

Exam sponsor: NCBE / jurisdiction bar examiners. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

How do the NextGen Bar vocabulary games work?

There are 4 games built on 20 NextGen 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 NextGen Bar terms come from?

OpenExamPrep researched each term from the NCBE / jurisdiction bar examiners content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.

When is the first NextGen Bar Examination?

The first NextGen UBE was given July 28-29, 2026 in ten jurisdictions: Connecticut, Guam, Idaho, Maryland, Missouri, Northern Mariana Islands, Oregon, Palau, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Washington. Washington held a make-up exam on September 1-2, 2026 for applicants whose July testing was cancelled. About 50 jurisdictions have adopted the NextGen format for first administrations between July 2026 and July 2028.

How is the NextGen Bar Exam different from the UBE?

The NextGen Bar Exam is 9 hours over 1.5 days, compared to the legacy UBE's 12 hours over 2 days. It replaces the separate MBE/MEE/MPT components with 3 sections, each with 40 multiple-choice questions, 1 performance task, and 2 integrated question sets. It tests 8 subjects; family law and trusts and estates appear only inside skills questions, with the needed legal resources provided. It also explicitly tests 7 foundational lawyering skills integrated with substantive law.
