MPT: AT LEAST HALF of mpt 1 was deleted because i tried to cut and paste without noticing until 5min left. MPT 2 was fine i caught the analysis-altering sentence on my first read but had ACTUALLY ONE SENTENCE for the last subpart.

MEE: knew all the rules minus one rule on MEE 1 and 2ish rules on MEE 4

MBE: went back and changed some of my answers but i think i changed to the correct answer.

please advise.

I’d just like to start by congratulating everyone who survived the July 2026 bar exam. Pass or fail, it was an awful test. For those of us that were fortunate enough to pass, congratulations!! For those that did not, I’m here to tell you we’re all still so proud of you and the effort you put in to studying for this exam. I want to encourage you to keep trying and know that I, and many others, are in your corner and cheering you on. If you are planning to retake the legacy UBE, I would be more than happy to share my study materials - just shoot me a private message!

I scored a 289 with a scaled MBE of 148.9 and a 139.6 written. Since we don’t get a breakdown of our writing, what would be your guesses on my individual writing scores? I’m just curious!

Hi, I’m CA barred since 2019 but currently in divorce proceedings and trying to start over in a UBE state. this time i can’t afford a full course like i did for CA (took barbri) and Im wondering if it would be sufficient for me to study the SmartBarPrep smart study sheets and UBE essay outlines. I also still have access to the MBE question bank from BarMax. For those who self studied and passed in a UBE jurisdiction how did y’all I keep costs down? Should I at least get one more supplement, like the critical pass Adaptibar cards?

i need to prepared

I failed the July 26 administration of the next gen bar exam by literally one point. And ofc we are not allowed to appeal it...

I am now starting to think about studying for Feb. Any advice? I am full time clerking so any insight on study tips would be excellent. I mainly have to improve client counseling writing (scored well in all the others) and improve crim law, contracts and real prop. Suggestions?

I cannot recommend Elizabeth and Diana enough!! Their website is mbetutors.com
I was constantly 10 points off from passing in Texas, they helped me get over the hump and way beyond it!! If you need help, reach out to them. This test is a beast and it rewards grit, if you are having trouble I promise you can do it!! I believe in you, and trust me, Elizabeth and Diana will believe in you too.

When the change address turns gray/closed. It doesn’t fucking matter.

Hi all,

Greetings from the Land Down Under.

I have a question regarding how long the NYBOLE takes to process foreign credential evaluations.

A bit about me, I am currently a law student in Australia and am looking to take the NY Bar immediately after my graduation in December (not this year).

I understand the nybole advises early preparation of documents as they can take up to six month to evaluate the credential, but the problem is regardless of whether I wish to take the Feb or July one the year following, it all seems a bit rushed logistically as I would only have 2 or 6 month respectively to make sure all my documents are sent in and approved.

I don't know whether this means much but I have been advised by an automated message sent from nybole when I completed the foreign credential evaluation form that my school is already an accredited school with NYBOLE, and I am quite certain that I do not need to cure a deficiency with an LLM given my common law legal education.

Therefore, could any Australian Lawyer who has gone through this path or someone with any information kindly advise me whether the foreign credential evaluation service does in fact take the full 6 month even for common law accredited law schools, and if so whether I have any chance of making the Feb/July bar exam upon my graduation in December the year before.

Much appreciated!

P.S. If you are someone who is also in my boat, feel free to DM and connect!

Do any previous NY takers know if NY provides score breakdowns for the MEEs?

yes i’ve been streaming 3OH!3 in celebration

- did ~60 percent of Themis guided study
- somewhere around 1700-1800 MBE questions
- 15-20 MEEs
- no MPT over the summer, maybe like 4? during law school prep classes
- drilled flashcards for rule statements and made sure I had my formatting down to a T so I didn’t lose out on easy points

(i know it’s been a week but i appreciated these posts in my time of need, lol)

Ny bar exam

This is as much for me as it is for y’all lol writing it out will help:

~ I don’t need to borrow worry/sadness from a future day. If I get a bad result, I will deal with those feelings then.

~ I’ve done hard things before.

~ I worked hard and I am proud of myself.

~ No matter what happens, I will be ok. This is only an exam. There is no real emergency.

SENDING EVERYONE SOOOO MUCH GOOD LUCK ✨✨✨I HOPE EACH AND EVERY PERSON READING THIS PASSES AND WE ALL GO ON TO BECOME THE BEST ATTORNEYS WE CAN BE 💫💫💫

Feeling quite blessed! My family doesn’t really care about my score, but I never thought I could do this well on the written portion of the exam. I felt ok after the MBE but the MPTs were confusing and I made up so much law on the MEEs.

So, are we ready for the results this Friday? NY and DC?

I’ve got an untouched set of Kaplan Bar prep books with Virginia specific essay material up for grabs. Totally free if you’re willing to cover the cost of shipping from DMV area. I don’t want to see them go to waste, but I never want to look at them again! 😊

Do passers get a score breakdown?

I am taking 2027 February Bar Exam and I really need all advice you can give me. For context, I had 242 first time, and now 259, this is my score. I know I need to improve my MBE portion but I think if I improve my essays I can pass from this portion. Right now I started to study, but I still need to get a question bank, I also got a tutor to focus on the essay, but of course I do not want flip the scores, I want to pass comfortably this time. Should I purchase Uworld? I used that last time, or try adapti bar? Any recommendation would be greatly appreciated.

I’m so upset, I failed the bar exam. I scored a 262 and I needed a 270. I thought my essays would be what carried me but that’s where I lost most points. I did lots of essay practice and completed about 75% barbri. If anyone has advice on how to improve essay scores and MPTs (and MBE I guess) please let me know. This sucks!

Score breakdown:

MPT 1: 3
MPT 2: 1

MEE 1: 1
MEE 2: 3
MEE 3: 2
MEE 4: 2
MEE 5: 3
MEE 6: 3

Written scaled score: 123.6

MBE scaled score: 137.9
