About the Bar Exam - Bar Exam Instruction, Courses, and Test Preparation |
All states differ somewhat in their testing requirements:
- Most states require candidates to write essays on the day preceding the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) in state-specific subjects.
- Some states will test on general majority rule subjects.
- Several states have now adopted the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) and/or the Multistate Essay Examination (MEE), tests also prepared by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE).
- Some states require a third day of testing, e.g., Texas and California.
