The UBE is a standardized test of minimum competency designed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE).  The test is comprised of the Multistate Essay Examination (MEE), the Multistate Performance Test (MPT), and the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE).  Applicants must take all portions of the UBE in the UBE jurisdiction in order to earn a portable UBE score.
 

The UBE tests general principles of law, legal analysis and communication skills. UBE jurisdictions administer the same examination and follow the same grading policies, which allows the scores to be transferred from one UBE jurisdiction to another.  Each UBE jurisdiction determines its own specific requirements for admission, including the minimum passing score on the UBE, in order to be considered for admission.

New Jersey administered its first UBE examination in February 2017.

The UBE is administered on the last Tuesday and Wednesday of February and July.  The test is administered as follows:

New Jersey requires a UBE score of 266 or greater.

The UBE score must have been earned (based on the last day of the month of the examination) no more than 36 months prior to submitting a completed application to New Jersey.  The score must meet or exceed New Jersey’s cut score of 266 in order to be accepted.  Do not apply without a UBE score of 266 or greater.  You must meet all other requirements for application and admission, such as having earned a Juris Doctor from an ABA accredited law school.  Do not apply if you do not meet all requirements.
 

A completed application consists of submission of the online character and fitness questionnaire, the one page signed and notarized application form (uploaded), the one page signed and notarized application form (uploaded) and payment, which can be made by credit card, money order, or cashier’s check.
 

The UBE score transfer should be requested as soon as a UBE application is submitted but no later than 30 days after submitting a completed application.  Law school certificates and all other standard application documents (see UBE Application Checklist at njbarexams.org under UBE Information) should be submitted as soon as possible but must be submitted within 90 days of submitting a completed application.  Supplemental documents, such as police or court records, must also be submitted within 90 days of submitting a completed application.  Applicants will not be considered for admission until all documentation has been received.

Once your file is complete, it will be submitted to the Committee on Character for review.  Please refer to the Committee on Character Regulations for more information.

The National Conference of Bar Examiners is responsible for UBE score transfers.  The website is ncbex.org.  Select NCBE EXAMS, UBE, and Scores.  Select UBE Score Services for information on how to transfer your UBE score from one jurisdiction to another.  At this time the transfer fee is $25 but the NCBE may change this at any time.  Please contact the NCBE for the most up to date fee amount.

This will vary by file.  Once a file is complete (all required documentation is submitted) the file will be reviewed by the Committee on Character.  This review will be completed as quickly as possible.  Incomplete files, regardless of the type of application (New Jersey bar examination, UBE score transfer or admission on motion), will not be reviewed.

Yes, if it meets the New Jersey requirement of 266 or greater.  Applicants must meet all admission requirements, such as graduation from an American Bar Association accredited law school with a Juris Doctor, certification by the Committee on Character, and all other requirements of Rule 1:24 and Rule 1:27.

UBE score transfer periods are determined by each jurisdiction.  New Jersey will accept scores not older than 36 months from the date of the UBE exam for which the score is being transferred to the date of a completed submitted application.  UBE score transfer applications will be accepted beginning October 1, 2016.

PLEASE NOTE - the jurisdiction must have already been a UBE jurisdiction when you took the examination in that jurisdiction for you to have earned a portable UBE score.  For example, if a jurisdiction adopts the UBE in July 2016 and you took the examination in that jurisdiction in July 2015, you DID NOT earn a transferrable UBE score in that jurisdiction.

Yes, if your score meets the minimum required score of 266 and you meet all other requirements, such as graduation from an American Bar Association accredited law school with a Juris Doctor, and all other requirements of Rule 1:24-1.  You will also need to meet, after application, all of the plenary admission requirements of Rule 1:27.  The UBE score you earned in another UBE jurisdiction will be valid for 36 months from the examination for which you earned the qualifying UBE score.

No, the New Jersey Uniform Bar Examination is given on Tuesday and Wednesday so applicants can no longer test in two jurisdictions concurrently.

No, applicants must meet all New Jersey requirements in Rule 1:24 and Rule 1:27 even if they are admitted or qualify in another jurisdiction.

No.  Although some jurisdictions administer all portions of the UBE, unless they are UBE states, they are not required to conform to certain grading, administration and scoring standards and therefore are not UBE jurisdictions and the scores cannot be transferred.

Yes. Rule 1:24-1 requires that the applicant is awarded a JD from ABA-approved law school.

The Supreme Court order, dated April 6, 2020, provides that: “Effective immediately, and until further order of the Court, the requirement that bar applicants submit a notarized copy of the bar application and accompanying documents is relaxed.  Instead, applicants may submit an affirmation that the contents are true and correct, provided that the affidavit or certification in lieu of oath conforms to Rule 1:4-4.  Those documents may be signed electronically as previously authorized by the Court.”  

Therefore, on a temporary basis and until further notice the following fulfill the Board of Bar Examiners’ notary requirements.  You may submit:

Document manually signed and dated by notary with notary seal, or

Document electronically signed and dated by a notary; no additional clarifying statement indicating that the document was electronically signed by the notary is required, or 

Your affirmation that the content of such document(s) is true and correct.  In accordance with the order, your affidavit / certification, must be dated and immediately preceding your signature, you must state: “I certify that the foregoing statements made by me are true. I am aware that if any of the foregoing statements made by me are willfully false, I am subject to punishment.”

The remote administration of the October 2020 examination for New Jersey bar admission is not the full Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) and, therefore, does not provide a portable UBE score.

However, Supreme Court order, dated July 15, 2020, authorizes the Board or Bar Examiners to work with other states to enter into agreements to provide limited portability of scores earned on the remote examination, wherever possible.  To date, New Jersey has entered into reciprocity agreements with Connecticut, District of Columbia, Illinois, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee and Vermont.

No. Character and fitness inquiries will not be impacted by the administration of a remote bar examination.

Although this remote bar examination is comprised of testing materials provided by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) and tests the same substantive content as the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE), it is not a full UBE and does not render a portable UBE score.

The July 2021 remote bar examination is a Uniform Bar Examination.  Therefore, the Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) and the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) questions will be graded and that written score will be scaled to the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE).

The components of the examination will be weighted as follows: 50% for the MBE, 30% for the MEE and 20% for the MPT.

Final scores will be reported on a 400-point scale and a scaled score of 266 or greater is required to pass the examination.

Applicants must take and timely upload all sessions of the remote examination in order to be graded. Any applicant who does not take all sessions of the exam, or who fails to timely upload all examination and video files will be withdrawn from the examination and will not receive examination results.

Pursuant to Supreme Court order, dated July 15, 2020, the New Jersey Board of Bar Examiners entered into reciprocal agreements with several jurisdictions permitting the interstate portability of bar examination scores earned on the October 5th-6th, 2020 Remote Bar Examination.  Qualifying jurisdictions are listed on our website at: https://www.njbarexams.org/october-2020-remote-bar-exam-reciprocal-jurisdictions 

Pursuant to these agreements, qualifying reciprocal jurisdictions provided listings of earned scores (266 and higher) to the New Jersey Board of Bar Examiners.  Do not contact the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) to request that your score be transferred to New Jersey.    

Rather, applicants wishing to transfer their October 2020 Remote Bar Examination score earned in one of those qualifying reciprocal jurisdictions, should use the existing UBE score transfer process and forms which currently appear on our website under “UBE Score Transfer Application.”  All requirements stated under that section with respect to a Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) score transfer apply to the transportability of your score earned on the October 2020 Remote Bar Examination. 

Please note, for those seeking admission in New Jersey based on a score earned in a qualifying reciprocal jurisdiction, all other requirements for application and plenary admission to the bar, per Rule 1:24-1 (Qualifications and requirements for application) and Rule 1:27-1 (Plenary admission) must be met to qualify for admission to the New Jersey bar.

Pursuant to Supreme Court order, dated July 15, 2020, the New Jersey Board of Bar Examiners entered into reciprocal agreements with several jurisdictions permitting the interstate portability of bar examination scores earned on the October 5th-6th, 2020 Remote Bar Examination.  To be eligible for admission to a reciprocal jurisdiction under these agreements, applicants must attain a passing score as set by the jurisdiction to which they wish to apply, meet all other eligibility requirements for admission set by that jurisdiction, and submit an application for admission as required by that jurisdiction. Qualifying jurisdictions are listed on our website at: https://www.njbarexams.org/october-2020-remote-bar-exam-reciprocal-jurisdictions 

Pursuant to these agreements, the New Jersey Board of Bar Examiners has provided a listing of earned scores (266 and higher) to the reciprocal jurisdiction on your behalf.  Do not contact the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) to request that your score be transferred.   Instead, follow the application process required by the jurisdiction to which you wish to apply for admission by score transfer for the October 2020 Remote Bar Examination; the jurisdiction will have the score you earned on the exam.

This will vary by file.  Once an applicant’s file is complete (all required documentation is submitted) the file will be reviewed by the Committee on Character.  This review will be completed as quickly as possible.  Incomplete files, regardless of the type of application (New Jersey bar examination, UBE score transfer, October 2020 Remote Bar Examination score transfer or admission on motion), will not be reviewed.

Score transfer periods are determined by each jurisdiction.  New Jersey will accept scores not older than 36 months from the date of the October 2020 Remote Bar Exam (October 5-6, 2020) to the date of a completed submitted application.
