The Utah Bar Exam is a two-day exam -- Tuesday and Wednesday -- with the Utah and Multistate essays and the Multistate Performance Test on Tuesday and the multiple-choice Multistate Bar Exam on Wednesday.

First Day (Tuesday):
* Eight Essays, including Utah Essays and the Multistate Essay Exam (MEE) Questions
* Two 90-minute Multistate Performance Test (MPT) 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.

If you take two bar exams at the same time (local in Utah on Tuesday, local in the other jurisdiction on Thursday, MBE in either state on Wednesday), Utah will accept the score of the MBE taken in either state.

Grading of the Utah Bar Exam: Your scaled scores on the MBE and essays are combined. A combined scaled score of 270 is required to pass the Utah Bar Exam.

Utah generally releases the results two months after the bar exam.

*MPRE--Utah is raising the MPRE minimum to 86 for those applying after the July 2004 bar exam.

Admission on Motion: (i.e., without having to sit for the bar exam)
Applicants who have been admitted to another jurisdiction for at least five years and have practiced law for four of five years are eligible to sit instead for a one-day Utah Attorneys' Essay Exam.

In addition, Utah has added a motion admission rule.

Admission to Utah on motion requires a reciprocity provision in the other state.
