How is the exam scored?
MBE is weighted 1/3 and essays are weighted 2/3. The scores are combined to determine if an overall passing total scaled score of 75 was achieved. An applicant must have a total scaled score of 75 or higher and a converted score of 75 or higher on at least three written essay questions. This equates to a passing score of 140 on a 200-point scale.
When are the results released?
Results are released in early May for the February exam and in early October for the July exam.
Can I transfer my MBE scores from another jurisdiction?
Nevada does not accept MBE scores from other jurisdictions.
What about reciprocity across states?
