Washington's bar exam is the NextGen UBE, first administered July 2026. The minimum passing score is 610 on a 500-750 scale (Washington Supreme Court Order 25700-B-747). The exam spans 1.5 days in three 3-hour sessions: standalone MCQs (~49%), integrated question sets (~21%), and performance tasks (~30%). NextGen tests eight doctrinal subjects — business associations, civil procedure, constitutional law, contract law, criminal law and constitutional protections, evidence, real property, and torts — plus foundational lawyering skills (legal research, issue spotting, client counseling, negotiation). Washington distinctions matter heavily: community property (RCW 26.16), quasi-community property, pure comparative negligence (RCW 4.22.005), the long-arm statute, and the Washington Civil Rules. Score is portable; the separate Washington Law Component (WLC) covers state law.

1A married couple living in Washington purchases a home during the marriage using only the salary the husband earned at his job after the wedding. The deed is titled in the husband's name alone. Under Washington community property law, how is the home characterized?
A.Community property because it was acquired during marriage with earnings from labor performed during the marriage
B.Separate property of the husband because the deed is in his name alone
C.Separate property of the husband because he was the only spouse who earned wages
D.Tenancy in common owned equally by both spouses as a matter of title
Explanation: Under RCW 26.16.030, property acquired after marriage by either spouse is community property unless it falls within a separate-property exception. Wages earned through labor performed during the marriage are community property regardless of how title is held, so the home is community property in which each spouse holds an undivided one-half interest.
2Before marriage, a Washington spouse owned a rental house as her separate property. During the marriage she received $30,000 in rent from the house. Neither spouse did any work managing the property; the rent was generated entirely by the property itself. Under Washington law, how is the rental income characterized?
A.Community property because it was received during the marriage
B.Separate property because rents, issues, and profits of separate property remain separate
C.Community property because Washington presumes all income earned during marriage is community
D.Quasi-community property subject to division only at death
Explanation: RCW 26.16.010 provides that property owned before marriage, together with its rents, issues, and profits, remains the separate property of that spouse. Because the rent was produced by the separate asset itself rather than by community labor, it retains its separate character.
3A couple married in Texas and acquired investment accounts there with the husband's earnings while both were domiciled in Texas. They later moved to Washington, where the husband dies. The accounts would have been community property had they been earned while domiciled in Washington. How are these accounts treated for purposes of distribution at the husband's death in Washington?
A.As the husband's separate property because they were titled in his name in Texas
B.As community property fully owned by the surviving spouse
C.As quasi-community property, in which the surviving spouse has a one-half interest at death
D.As property that escheats to the State of Washington
Explanation: Under RCW 26.16.220 and 26.16.230, property acquired while domiciled elsewhere that would have been community property if acquired in Washington is treated as quasi-community property. The surviving spouse is entitled to a one-half interest in quasi-community property for purposes of disposition at death.
4A Washington spouse receives a $50,000 inheritance from his deceased aunt during the marriage and deposits it into a brand-new bank account opened solely in his name, into which no other funds are ever placed. How is the account characterized?
A.Community property because it was received during the marriage
B.Quasi-community property because it came from a relative
C.Community property because it was deposited into a Washington bank account
D.Separate property because property acquired by bequest or descent is separate
Explanation: RCW 26.16.010 makes property acquired during marriage by gift, bequest, devise, or descent the separate property of the acquiring spouse. Because the inheritance was kept in a segregated account with no commingling, it remains traceable separate property.
5A Washington spouse owned a $100,000 brokerage account as separate property before marriage. During the marriage, she deposited community earnings into the same account and made numerous trades, so that the separate and community funds can no longer be traced or distinguished. How will a court most likely characterize the account?
A.Entirely community property because the funds were commingled beyond tracing
B.Entirely separate property because it started as a separate account
C.Half separate and half community automatically as a matter of law
D.Quasi-community property subject to a presumption of separateness
Explanation: When separate property is so commingled with community funds that the separate portion can no longer be traced, Washington courts apply the community-property presumption to the entire commingled fund. The spouse asserting a separate interest bears the burden of tracing, and inability to trace results in the whole fund being treated as community property.
6In a Washington negligence action, a jury finds the plaintiff suffered $200,000 in damages but was 80% at fault for his own injuries, with the defendant 20% at fault. Under Washington's comparative fault statute, how much may the plaintiff recover?
A.Nothing, because the plaintiff was more than 50% at fault
B.$40,000, reduced in proportion to the plaintiff's share of fault
C.$200,000, because any defendant fault permits full recovery
D.$100,000, because damages are split equally between the parties
Explanation: Under RCW 4.22.005, Washington follows pure comparative fault: a claimant's contributory fault proportionately diminishes the award but never bars recovery. With $200,000 in damages and 80% plaintiff fault, recovery is reduced by 80%, leaving $40,000.
7A nonresident corporation has no offices in Washington but shipped a defective product into the state that injured a Washington consumer. The consumer sues in Washington superior court. Which Washington authority most directly supports the exercise of personal jurisdiction over the corporation?
A.The recording act under RCW Title 65
B.The community property statute, RCW 26.16.030
C.Washington's long-arm statute, RCW 4.28.185, reaching tortious acts within the state
D.The pure comparative fault statute, RCW 4.22.005
Explanation: RCW 4.28.185, Washington's long-arm statute, subjects a nonresident to jurisdiction for causes of action arising from enumerated acts, including the commission of a tortious act within the state. Shipping a defective product that causes injury in Washington is a tortious act supporting specific jurisdiction, consistent with International Shoe minimum-contacts due process.
8Under the Washington Superior Court Civil Rules, a defendant served within the state generally must serve a response to a complaint within how many days after service of the summons?
A.10 days
B.60 days
C.30 days
D.20 days
Explanation: Under CR 12(a)(1) of the Washington Superior Court Civil Rules, a defendant served within the state must serve an answer within 20 days after service of the summons and complaint. This differs from the 21-day period under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(a), a distinction Washington examinees must know.
9Beginning July 2026, Washington administers the NextGen Bar Exam. Which of the following best describes the doctrinal subjects tested as foundational concepts and principles on the NextGen exam?
A.An integrated set including business associations, civil procedure, constitutional law, contract law, criminal law and constitutional protections, evidence, real property, and torts
B.Only the seven traditional MBE subjects, with no business law
C.Federal subjects only, with all state-specific law excluded
D.A closed list limited to contracts, torts, and property
Explanation: The NextGen Bar Exam tests foundational legal concepts across eight doctrinal areas beginning July 2026: business associations and relationships, civil procedure, constitutional law, contract law, criminal law and constitutional protections of accused persons, evidence, real property, and torts. Family law and trusts and estates appear only within skills-focused questions through February 2028.
10A buyer and a seller orally agree on the sale of a parcel of land in Washington. The buyer pays part of the price and, with the seller's knowledge, moves onto the land and builds a substantial addition. The seller then refuses to convey, asserting the statute of frauds. What is the buyer's strongest argument to enforce the agreement?
A.The statute of frauds does not apply to land sales
B.Part performance, shown by payment plus possession and substantial improvements, takes the oral contract out of the statute of frauds
C.Oral land contracts are always enforceable if witnessed
D.The buyer can recover only money damages and never specific performance
Explanation: The statute of frauds generally requires a writing for the sale of land, but the equitable doctrine of part performance allows enforcement of an oral land contract where the buyer's payment combined with possession and substantial improvements unequivocally refers to the contract. These acts furnish reliable evidence of the agreement, supporting specific performance.
