California's bar exam is known for its rigorous content and low pass rates compared to other states. In fact, even though California recently lowered its passing score from 1,440 to 1,390, that is still higher than the 1,350 score required for a passing grade in many other states.
The California Bar Exam has three (3) parts given over two (2) days: five (5) essay questions, the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) and one (1) performance test.
To pass the exam in the first phase of grading, an applicant must have a total scale score (after one reading) of at least 1390 out of 2000 possible points. Those with total scale scores after one reading below 1350 fail the exam.
The highest score reported on the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) is typically around 300, which is the maximum possible score. However, scores above 280 are considered exceptionally high and are rare. Individual jurisdictions may also have their own standards for passing scores, often ranging from 260 to 280.
So, as a general rule, if you are answering somewhere between 60 and 67%, your MBE raw score is in the “passing zone” depending on the jurisdiction you are in.
The California bar exam has 2000 possible points. You need 1440 points to pass the California bar exam.
