The Kansas Bar Exam is a two-day exam -- Tuesday and Wednesday -- with the essays on Tuesday and the Multistate Bar Exam on Wednesday.

First Day (Tuesday):
* 12 Kansas Essay Questions
* Six Multistate Essay Exam (MEE) questions

Second Day (Wednesday) morning session:
* Three hours
* Multistate Bar Examination (MBE)
* 100 Multiple-Choice questions.

Second Day (Wednesday) afternoon session:
* Three hours
* Multistate Bar Examination (MBE)
* 100 Multiple-Choice questions.

Kansas will accept an MBE scaled score of 120 or higher from another jurisdiction if from a concurrent bar exam or if received within 13 months prior to the current bar exam, but only if the applicant passed the entire exam in one sitting in the transferring jurisdiction.

Grading of the Kansas Bar Exam: Your essays are graded and then converted to a scaled score on the same scaling as the Multistate Bar Exam (a low of 0 to a high of 200). The two scores -- Kansas essay and MBE -- are then averaged. If your average score is 133 or higher, you pass the Kansas Bar Exam.

Kansas generally releases the results of the Summer bar exam in mid-September and the results of the Winter bar exam in mid-April.

*MPRE You must receive a scaled score of 80 on the MPRE prior to or within 180 days of taking the Kansas Bar Exam.

Admission on Motion: Kansas does NOT permit admission on motion.

To be admitted to the Kansas bar, you must take and pass the bar exam. However, Kansas grants special temporary licenses to attorneys who are employed by an entity engaged in a business in Kansas, other than the practice of law, and who will receive their entire employment compensation from that entity.
