How Agarute Prepares Students For Bar Exams

Those seeking to become licensed attorneys in the State of New York must pass the New York Law Examination. This test is administered by the New York Board of Law Examiners and is unproctored. It is comprised of 50 multiple choice questions. Those who answer 30 of the questions correctly will pass the examination. Those who fail will have to retake the exam. However, there are some accommodations that may be available. These include wheelchair access, a separate testing room, permission to dictate to a typist, and extended testing days.


The Multistate Performance Test is another component of the Uniform Bar Exam. This two-hour multiple-choice test measures fundamental skills. This test is taken twice a year, and is not specific to a particular area of law. Some jurisdictions require a jurisdiction-specific law component of the test.


In the past, the New York Bar Examination tested only New York law. It consisted of fifty multiple-choice questions, as well as five essay questions based on Court of Appeals opinions. In addition, it tested civil practice, torts, and criminal law. It was administered over two days from 1979 through February 2016, but in July of that year, it was replaced by the Uniform Bar Examination. The UBE is now administered in 26 states. It is standardized, but its passing score is variable, depending on the jurisdiction.


The UBE is a combination of the Multistate Essay Examination and the Multistate Performance Test. The essays, each of which are approximately thirty minutes in length, cover topics such as evidence, contracts, real property, and torts. It is given over two days, with a portion being given on the Tuesday before the MBE. Some jurisdictions, including California, also have a part of the MBE administered on the Thursday after. The exam is designed to measure the lawyering skills of applicants.
