Frequently Asked Questions
What is the passing score for the Alaska Bar Exam?
Alaska requires a combined Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) scaled score of 270 or above to pass. Alaska historically had the highest UBE cut score in the country at 280, but it lowered the minimum passing score to 270 effective February 2023. Because Alaska uses the UBE, a qualifying score earned in Alaska is portable to other UBE jurisdictions.
How is the Alaska Bar Exam structured?
Alaska administers the UBE over two days. Day 1 is the written portion: 6 Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) questions in the morning and 2 Multistate Performance Tests (MPTs) in the afternoon. Day 2 is the 200-question Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), split into a 3-hour morning session and a 3-hour afternoon session. The MBE is weighted 50%, the MEE 30%, and the MPT 20%.
What is the fee to take the Alaska Bar Exam?
The application fee is $850 for new applicants and $600 for reapplicants, paid to the Alaska Bar Association. Commercial UBE bar review courses are a separate cost, typically $2,000-$4,000. The exam is offered twice per year, in February and July.
Does Alaska accept the NextGen UBE and transferred UBE scores?
Yes. Alaska's Board of Governors approved accepting NextGen UBE scores beginning with the July 2026 administration, with a NextGen scaled score of 620 mapping to the legacy passing score of 270. Alaska also accepts transferred UBE scores from other jurisdictions, provided the transferred score meets Alaska's 270 minimum and satisfies recency and other admission rules.
What Alaska-specific law is tested on the bar exam?
Beyond the national MBE and MEE subjects, Alaska tests distinctive state law, including Civil Rule 82 (prevailing-party attorney-fee shifting, a partial 'English Rule' unusual among U.S. states), pure comparative negligence (AS 09.17.060, allowing recovery even if the plaintiff is 99% at fault), several/proportionate liability (AS 09.17.080), equitable distribution in divorce (Alaska is not community property), and Alaska Native land law under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA).
What are the eligibility and MPRE requirements for the Alaska Bar Exam?
Applicants generally must hold a JD from an ABA-accredited law school (limited exceptions exist under Bar Rule 2 for experienced licensed attorneys). Applicants must also achieve an MPRE (Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination) scaled score of 80 or higher, taken within eight years — one of the higher MPRE minimums nationally — and pass a character and fitness review.
