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.
