What Is A Passing Uniform Bar Exam Score In My State?

What Is A Passing Uniform Bar Exam Score In My State?: In jurisdictions that administer the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE), passing scores can vary. We’ve broken passing scores directly from the National Conference of Bar Examiners, organized by score. So, read below to see where your state ranks!

What Is A Passing Uniform Bar Exam Score In My State?

You will see below that some states (like Massachusetts and Oregon) are undetermined. Then the passing scores range from 260 to 280 (and anywhere in between). Below, we rank the jurisdictions by score.

Undetermined:

Massachusetts: First administering in July 2018.

Oregon: First administering in July 2017.

Maine: First administering in July 2017

Neither Oregon, Massachusetts, nor Maine has administered the UBE yet. Therefore, they have not published what their passing score will be. It is also unclear when each state will set passing scores. We imagine, especially in Oregon’s case, that they will publish these guidelines soon. Since Massachusetts won’t be administering the UBE until July 2018, we might have to wait awhile until they publish their guidelines.

260

Alabama, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico and North Dakota all require a 260 to pass the bar exam.

266

Connecticut, Washington D.C., Iowa, Kansas, New Jersey, New York, and South Carolina all require a 266 to pass the bar exam.

270

Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming all require a 270 to pass the bar exam.

273

Arizona requires a 273 to pass the bar exam.

276

Colorado requires a 276 to pass the bar exam.

280

Alaska and Idaho require a 280 to pass the bar exam.
