Scoring. MBE (weighted one-third) and written scores (weighted two-thirds) are combined for an overall passing score. In order to pass the Nevada Bar Exam, an applicant must have a total scaled score of 75 or higher and a converted score of 75 or higher on at least three written essay questions.
MBE Scoring and Difficulty MBE questions are uniform for each administration, but minimum passing scores range from 120 to 143 depending on the jurisdiction. The MBE score you receive doesn't reflect the number of questions you answered correctly.
Yes, if practicing as full-time in-house consel, you must register with the state. Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) transfer available? Yes, with a minimum score of 268. Scores are valid for three years.
The written components— the Multistate Essay Exam and the Multistate Performance Test—make up the remainder of your score. A good rule of thumb is that you'll need to answer about 66% of the graded MBE questions correctly to pass the bar exam, assuming you perform reasonably well on the other components.
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.
MBE — Only 175 of the 200 multiple-choice questions are graded. The remaining 25 are pilot questions for future exams. An NCBE-scaled score of 138 is required to pass and will result in a raw score of 42.
California doesn't offer reciprocity but offers a shorter bar exam for attorneys who are admitted in other states and who have been in good standing as an attorney in those states for at least four years prior to their application.
Nevada MPRE Minimum Passing Score Before you can practice law in Nevada, you must also pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE®) with a minimum score of 85. The MPRE features 60 multiple-choice questions administered over two hours.
