How many times can I take the New York Bar Exam?

The good news is that you can take the New York bar exam an unlimited amount of times if you do not pass. New York does not place a limit or a restriction on the number of times you may attempt to pass the bar exam. This, of course, does not mean that you want to take it numerous times. But it does take pressure off of you if you are afraid you may fail the bar exam.

Some UBE states (and several non-UBE states) only allow you to take the bar exam a number of times (usually 3-5) before saying you need more special permission or simply disallowing you to take the exam for a number of years. Thankfully, New York is not one of those states.
