About the NY Bar Exam
The New York Bar Examination is the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE), which New York adopted in July 2016. It consists of the Multistate Bar Exam (200 MC questions, 50%), the Multistate Essay Exam (6 essays, 30%), and the Multistate Performance Test (2 tasks, 20%), with a passing UBE score of 266 on a 400-point scale. Beyond the UBE, New York separately requires completion of the free online New York Law Course (NYLC) and a passing score on the 50-question New York Law Exam (NYLE) covering New York-specific distinctions, plus the MPRE. New York will administer the NextGen bar exam beginning July 2028; the legacy UBE continues through February 2028.
