Get TX BLE Bar Exam Security Policy Statement and Honor Pledge

Texas does not accept MBE scores from other jurisdictions. ... If you would like to know what you scored on the MBE portion of a past Texas Bar Exam, send a message through your ATLAS account, and we will provide you with your score.

In order to pass the Texas bar exam, you must score at least 675 of 1,000 points. This equates to 135, based on the MBE's 200-point scale. The scores of the exam sections are weighted as follows: MBE 40%, essay questions 40%, P&E questions 10%, and MPT 10%.

These are the approximate scores you want to aim for in order to have a passing MBE score: If you are aiming for a MBE converted score of 131-135 (which is a passing score in most jurisdictions that require scores of 262-270 to pass), you should aim for 58%-62%. We suggest aiming for at least 60% to be safe.
