New York Will Administer the First Remote Full UBE Exam for the February 2021 Bar Exam
October 26, 2020
Last week, the New York Court of Appeals announced that New York will administer a remote bar exam in February 2021. Today, the New York Court of Appeals announced that they will test the complete UBE bar exam.
The February 2021 exam will be composed of all components of the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) and will provide candidates with a portable score that can be transferred to other UBE jurisdictions. In October, New York (and many other UBE states) included a limited set of questions that together comprised half of the sessions for a full UBE.
The Board, mindful of the challenges posed by a large potential pool of test takers for the first full remote UBE, including the impact a large number of test-takers for the February 2021 bar exam would have on the Board's ability to adequately prepare for the July 2021 exam administration, will register students on a rolling basis.
In order to provide for a safe and secure administration of the February 2021 examination, registration will proceed on a rolling basis. The first application filing period will take place from November 1 - 15, 2020. The eligibility requirements for the first application filing period will be first-time Juris Doctor candidates who (1) graduated from an ABA-approved law school in the United States in 2020, who will graduate in January or February 2021, or who are eligible as pro bono scholars, and (2) who did not take any bar examination (in person or remotely) in any U.S. state, district or territory during 2020 or Juris Doctor candidates who (1) graduated from an ABA-approved law school in the United States between 2016 and 2020 and (2) who sat for at least one prior bar exam in New York between July 2016 and February 2020.
After the first application filing period closes, there will be a short pause in the process and the application numbers will be assessed. A second application filing period will then open.

The MBE mean scaled score have been low for the past few bar cycles, especially for repeat takers. The February bar exam draws a larger proportion of takers who have already failed the exam at least once and who are statistically more likely to fail again than first-time takers. Test takers who have previously taken but not passed a bar exam tend to show lower performance on the MBE than first-time test takers, and the majority of this February’s test takers nationwide were repeat takers. Our Bar Professors’ MBE book will help you pass. The MBE book is concise and gives you the need to know areas to concentrate your studies. We also provide tutorial services.
