Luke’s Answer
The bar exam is a test that law graduates must pass in order to practice law in the United States. The exam is typically administered over two days and consists of the following parts:
Multistate Bar Examination (MBE): The MBE is a 200-question, multiple-choice exam that covers six areas of law: Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law, Evidence, Real Property, and Torts.
Multistate Essay Examination (MEE): The MEE is a six-question, essay exam that covers the same six areas of law as the MBE.
Multistate Performance Test (MPT): The MPT is a single, 90-minute task that requires examinees to analyze a legal problem and write a memorandum or brief.
The bar exam is a challenging test, and it is important to prepare thoroughly for it. There are many resources available to help you prepare, including bar review courses, practice exams, and study guides.
The passing score for the bar exam varies from state to state. In general, the passing score is set at a level that ensures that graduates have the knowledge and skills necessary to practice law competently.
If you are interested in practicing law, you should contact your state bar association for more information about the bar exam requirements in your state.

DENNIS’s Answer
Faith: Luke nailed it. The bar exam is a stressful, two day exam that tests your knowledge of a number of subjects. Pass rate varies from year to year. I have taken several - I am admitted in 3 states. Each is different. The MBE (see Luke) is accepted in multiple states so once you pass that it is accepted elsewhere. I know guys who have taken thee exam multiple tinmes and failed.
Study hard and remember - it's only a test!
