The Indiana Bar Examination consists of the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) developed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners. It is offered twice yearly, once in February and once in July. The UBE is a uniformly administered, graded, and scored bar examination that results in a portable score, not a portable status.
Indiana's minimum passing score is 264. Since the UBE is divided into 2 equally weighted sections — writing (MPT/MEE) and the MBE — you should aim for 132 on each section. However, you don't need to score 264 on each section to pass.
