Will New York follow the UBE States Who Will Take the October Remote Bar Exam?
July 24, 2020
Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington, DC, Georgia, Massachusetts, Vermont, Texas, New Jersey, Ohio, New Hampshire, Maryland, Tennessee, Kentucky, Virgin Islands, California are all taking the October 5th and 6th remote, online bar exam.
New York has appointed a Working Group to evaluate administering the remote exam on October 5-6 and expects to reach a recommendation by early August. They have already rejected a diploma privilege.
The NCBE will provide a limited set of questions (MBE, MEE, MPT) to UBE jurisdictions for an emergency remote testing option for local admission during the COVID-19 crisis. The NCBE will provide 100 MBE questions divided into two 50-question sets, 3 MEE questions, and 1 MPT item, such that the materials can be administered in four 90-minute testing sessions. Jurisdictions may choose some or all of these materials. There will be only one remote test administration on October 5–6, with the MEE and MPT questions administered on October 5, and the MBE questions administered on October 6.
This remote testing option will not constitute the full bar exam or the UBE. Scores earned on the remotely administered test will be used for local admission decisions only, and will not qualify as UBE scores. The scores will not be eligible to be transferred as UBE or MBE scores to other jurisdictions or released to candidates via NCBE Score Services. However, DC has entered into reciprocal agreements with Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Tennessee for the portability of scores earned on the remote exam.
