Grading of the Vermont Bar Exam: You must pass BOTH parts of the Vermont Bar Exam. You need a scaled score of 135 on the MBE, and either a raw score of 36 (out of a possible 60) on the essays, or a scaled score of 135 on the essays. If you don't receive 135 points on either part you can use one-half of up to ten excess points from the other part in order to obtain the requisite 135.

Vermont generally releases the results of the bar exam eight weeks after the exam.

Admission on Motion: To be admitted to the Vermont bar on motion, you must be admitted to the bar of another jurisdiction and must have practiced law for five of the past 10 years (or the reciprocal jurisdiction's time period if three years or more).
