The
Massachusetts Bar Exam is a two-day exam -- Wednesday and
Thursday -- with the multiple-choice Multistate Bar Exam on Wednesday and the
Massachusetts local essays on Thursday.
Your scaled score on the MBE and the essay portion are combined. You need a combined score of at least 270 (equal to a scaled 135 on the MBE and a scaled 135 on the local portion). Massachusetts generally releases the results of the Summer exam in
November and the results of the Winter exam in May. |
