The Guam Bar Examination switched to the NextGen UBE for its first administration in July 2026, making Guam an early adopter. The exam is delivered over 1.5 days (9 hours) in three integrated sessions combining roughly 120 standalone multiple-choice questions, 6 integrated question sets, and 3 performance tasks. It tests eight doctrinal subjects (Civil Procedure, Contracts, Evidence, Torts, Business Associations, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, and Real Property) plus seven foundational lawyering skills. Guam's passing score is 612.3 on the 500-750 scale. Candidates must also pass the MPRE (80+) and clear character & fitness. A Guam-specific local question covers the territory's unincorporated status and the role of English common law.

1A plaintiff from California sues a defendant from Texas in federal court, alleging state-law breach of contract with $90,000 in damages. The defendant moves to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. How should the court rule?
A.Deny the motion, because the parties are completely diverse and the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000
B.Grant the motion, because diversity jurisdiction requires the amount in controversy to exceed $75,000 and federal question jurisdiction is absent
C.Grant the motion, because contract claims must be brought in state court
D.Deny the motion, because supplemental jurisdiction applies
Explanation: Under 28 U.S.C. § 1332, diversity jurisdiction exists where the parties are citizens of different states and the amount in controversy exceeds $75,000. A California plaintiff and a Texas defendant are completely diverse, and $90,000 exceeds the threshold, so jurisdiction is proper.
2A defendant who has no contacts with the forum state is served with process while temporarily present in that state on a business trip. The plaintiff sues on an unrelated claim. Is personal jurisdiction proper?
A.No, because the claim does not arise from the defendant's contacts with the forum
B.Yes, because physical presence in the forum at the time of service (tag jurisdiction) is a constitutionally sufficient basis
C.No, because transient presence can never support jurisdiction after International Shoe
D.Yes, but only if the defendant consents to jurisdiction
Explanation: Under Burnham v. Superior Court (1990), serving a defendant who is physically present in the forum state ('tag' or transient jurisdiction) satisfies due process even for unrelated claims, because it rests on the historic Pennoyer v. Neff in-state-service tradition.
3A federal court sitting in diversity must decide whether to apply a state statute of limitations or a conflicting federal common-law limitations period. Which doctrine governs the court's choice?
A.The doctrine of forum non conveniens
B.The Younger abstention doctrine
C.The Erie doctrine, under which the court applies state substantive law including the statute of limitations
D.The Rooker-Feldman doctrine
Explanation: Under Erie Railroad Co. v. Tompkins (1938) and Guaranty Trust Co. v. York, a statute of limitations is treated as substantive (outcome-determinative) in diversity cases, so the federal court applies the state limitations period.
4A plaintiff files a complaint in federal court. The defendant believes the complaint fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. Which motion should the defendant file?
A.A motion for summary judgment under Rule 56
B.A motion for a more definite statement under Rule 12(e)
C.A motion for judgment on the pleadings under Rule 12(c) before answering
D.A motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(6)
Explanation: Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) permits a defendant to move to dismiss for failure to state a claim. Under Bell Atlantic v. Twombly and Ashcroft v. Iqbal, the complaint must contain enough facts to state a plausible claim for relief.
5After a final judgment on the merits in a contract dispute, the losing plaintiff files a second suit against the same defendant arising from the same transaction, asserting a new legal theory not raised in the first case. The defendant raises claim preclusion. How should the court rule?
A.The second suit is permitted because it asserts a different legal theory
B.The second suit is permitted because issue preclusion does not apply to new theories
C.The second suit is barred only if the new theory was actually litigated
D.The second suit is barred by res judicata (claim preclusion) because it arises from the same transaction and could have been raised earlier
Explanation: Res judicata (claim preclusion) bars relitigation of claims that were or could have been raised in a prior action between the same parties arising from the same transaction or occurrence, once there is a final judgment on the merits.
6A defendant timely removes a case from state court to federal court based on diversity. The plaintiff later amends to add a non-diverse defendant whose joinder would destroy complete diversity. Under 28 U.S.C. § 1447(e), what may the court do?
A.It must permit the joinder and retain jurisdiction
B.It must dismiss the entire action with prejudice
C.It may deny joinder, or permit joinder and remand the action to state court
D.It must sever the new defendant and proceed against the original parties only
Explanation: Under 28 U.S.C. § 1447(e), when a plaintiff seeks to join a defendant whose joinder would destroy subject-matter jurisdiction, the court may either deny joinder or permit joinder and remand the action to state court, exercising discretion based on fairness factors.
7Guam is an unincorporated territory of the United States. For purposes of the federal court system, the District Court of Guam falls within which federal circuit for appeals?
A.The First Circuit
B.The Ninth Circuit
C.The Federal Circuit
D.The Eleventh Circuit
Explanation: Appeals from the District Court of Guam are heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Guam, like Hawaii and the other Pacific territories, lies within the Ninth Circuit's territorial jurisdiction.
8A federal court enters a default judgment against a defendant who was never properly served with process. The defendant moves to set aside the judgment as void. Which rule governs?
A.Rule 60(b)(4), relief from a void judgment
B.Rule 59(e), motion to alter or amend a judgment
C.Rule 50(b), renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law
D.Rule 52(b), motion to amend findings
Explanation: Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 60(b)(4) provides for relief from a judgment that is void. A judgment entered without proper service violates due process and is void for lack of personal jurisdiction.
9During discovery, a party seeks production of a memo prepared by opposing counsel in anticipation of litigation containing counsel's legal theories. The memo is not protected by the attorney-client privilege. What best describes its discoverability?
A.It is freely discoverable because it is not privileged
B.It is discoverable upon any showing of relevance
C.It is opinion work product, which is protected nearly absolutely from discovery
D.It is protected only if it was prepared by the client, not the attorney
Explanation: Under Rule 26(b)(3) and Hickman v. Taylor, an attorney's mental impressions, conclusions, and legal theories are opinion work product, protected nearly absolutely even when the attorney-client privilege does not apply.
10A plaintiff moves for summary judgment under Rule 56. Which standard must the court apply in deciding the motion?
A.Summary judgment is granted if there is no genuine dispute of material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law
B.The court weighs the evidence and decides which side is more credible
C.Summary judgment is granted only if the nonmovant fails to appear
D.The court must grant the motion if any factual dispute exists
Explanation: Under Rule 56(a) and Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, summary judgment is proper when there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. The evidence is viewed in the light most favorable to the nonmovant.

About the Guam Bar Exam

As an unincorporated U.S. territory in the Ninth Circuit, Guam also tests a local question on its territorial status and English common law. Guam's NextGen passing score is 612.3 on the 500-750 scale, and scores are portable to other UBE jurisdictions.

Guam Bar Study Tips from Top Performers

1Treat the NextGen integrated question sets as the centerpiece: they blend doctrine with skills like legal research and client counseling, so practice analyzing a scenario from multiple subjects at once rather than studying subjects in isolation
2For Civil Procedure, master the high-frequency anchors — International Shoe minimum contacts, Erie's substance/procedure line, Twombly/Iqbal plausibility pleading, and the final-judgment rule under 28 U.S.C. 1291
3In Evidence, the hearsay rule and its exceptions (FRE 803(4) medical treatment, 803(6) business records, 801(d)(1) prior statements) dominate; build a decision tree for whether a statement is hearsay and whether an exception applies
4For the Guam-specific local question, know that Guam is an unincorporated territory in the Ninth Circuit, the Organic Act of Guam (1950) is its quasi-constitution, and the Insular Cases govern how constitutional rights extend to the territory
5Practice the performance tasks under timed conditions — legal research and writing tasks reward a disciplined IRAC structure and careful use of the closed-universe materials provided
6Remember the NextGen scale runs 500-750 with Guam's cutoff at 612.3; pace yourself across the three integrated sessions (about 9 hours total over 1.5 days) and bank time on the multiple-choice portions, which are roughly half the score

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Guam Bar Exam the NextGen UBE in 2026?

Yes. Beginning with the July 2026 administration, Guam adopted the NCBE's NextGen Uniform Bar Examination as an early adopter, and the legacy UBE is no longer offered in Guam. The NextGen UBE replaces the separate MBE, MEE, and MPT with integrated sessions that combine standalone multiple-choice questions, integrated question sets, and performance tasks.

What is the passing score for the Guam Bar Exam?

Guam's minimum passing score on the NextGen UBE is 612.3, reported on the new 500-750 scaled-score range. The NCBE recommended a passing-score range of 610-620, which concords with the legacy UBE range of 260-270. Because Guam is a UBE jurisdiction, a qualifying score is portable to other participating jurisdictions, subject to their rules.

How much does the Guam Bar Exam cost?

The Guam bar exam registration fee is $1,000, paid to the Supreme Court of Guam, plus a separate NCBE technology fee of $149 (paid to NCBE or its technology vendor) for the laptop-delivered exam, for a total of about $1,149. The MPRE, character and fitness investigation, late filing, and commercial bar prep courses are additional costs.

What subjects are tested on the Guam NextGen UBE?

The NextGen UBE tests eight foundational doctrinal subjects: Civil Procedure, Contract Law, Evidence, Torts, Business Associations, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, and Real Property. It also assesses seven foundational lawyering skills including legal research, legal writing, issue spotting, client counseling, and negotiation. Family Law is scheduled to be added in July 2028.

What makes the Guam Bar Exam distinctive?

Guam is an unincorporated U.S. territory, and its bar exam includes a Guam-specific local question reflecting the territory's status and the role of English common law. The District Court of Guam falls within the Ninth Circuit, the Organic Act of Guam (1950) functions as the territory's basic charter, and the Insular Cases shape how the Constitution applies. Otherwise, the substantive law tested is general American doctrine.

How should I prepare for the Guam NextGen Bar Exam?

Plan for 8-10 weeks of full-time study (350-500 hours). Build a strong foundation in the eight doctrinal subjects, then drill the new NextGen integrated question sets and performance tasks, which together carry about half the score. Practice the foundational lawyering skills (research, writing, counseling, negotiation), take full 1.5-day timed simulations, and review Guam's territorial-law distinctions and the Ninth Circuit.
