Grading
The MBE is weighted 50%, the MEE 30%, and the MPT 20%. UBE total scores are reported on a 400-point scale. The passing UBE score in Kentucky is 266.
-
MPRE®
A minimum passing scaled score is 80 or higher.
Applicants are not eligible to sit until they have passed the MPRE®. -
Reciprocity
A UBE score of 266 or higher from another jurisdiction may be transferred to Kentucky for admission within five (5) years of the date of application for admission.
Kentucky has a provision for attorneys who have practiced law for five of the seven years preceding the filing of an application for admission to the Kentucky Bar in a state(s) which has reciprocity with Kentucky. If attorneys meet all other requirements for admission under this rule, they may be admitted to the Kentucky Bar without taking the bar examination.
