First Day (Wednesday) afternoon session:

Second Day (Thursday) :

If you take two bar exams at the same time (local in another state, such as Pennsylvania or New York, on Tuesday, the MBE in either state on Wednesday, the essay/MPT day in New Jersey on Thursday), New Jersey will accept the score of the MBE taken in either state. Check to see if your other state has the same policy on accepting the MBE. If not, be certain to take the MBE in the other state, so that it will apply to both jurisdictions.
