If you took the MBE in another jurisdiction within the prior 25 months, received a scaled score of at least 133, were then admitted to that jurisdiction's bar, you can waive in to the D.C. bar without taking the bar exam.

If you scored at least 133 but were not admitted to that jurisdiction, you must take only the essay portion of the D.C. bar exam.  You must then achieve a score of at least 133 on the essay portion.

In either case, you must have a J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school, and have received a scaled score of at least 75 on the MPRE.
