The Wyoming Bar Exam is a 2-day Uniform Bar Exam (UBE). The UBE is administered over two days, with the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) given on the last Wednesday of February and July, and the Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) and Multistate Performance Test (MPT) given on the Tuesday prior. Day 1 consists of six 30-minute MEE (Multistate Essay Exam) questions and two 90-minute MPT (Multistate Performance Test) questions. Day 2 is the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE), a six-hour, 200-question multiple-choice examination developed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE).
What subjects will you be tested on?

How is the exam scored?
NCBE scores the MBE component of the UBE. Jurisdictions grade the MEE and MPT components. The MEE and MPT scores are scaled to the MBE and UBE total scores are calculated by NCBE. The MBE is weighted 50%, the MEE 30%, and the MPT 20%. MBE, essay, and MPT scores are combined to determine if the applicant has achieved the minimum scaled passing score of 270 points out of a possible 400 points.
When are the results released?
The results are typically released 8-10 weeks after the exam.
Can I transfer my MBE scores from another jurisdiction?
Wyoming does not accept transferred MBE scores.
What about reciprocity across states?
In order to be eligible for admission without taking the Wyoming Bar Exam, the applicant must be a member of a reciprocating state bar in good standing and have engaged in the active practice of law for a minimum of 300 hours per year for 5 of the 7 years immediately preceding the application. The applicant must also be a graduate of an ABA accredited law school.
