New Hampshire MPRE Score Requirement

New Hampshire requires bar exam applicants to pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (“MPRE”). You must score 79 or higher on the MPRE in order to pass in New Hampshire.

Scoring/Grading and Results

In order to pass the New Hampshire bar exam, you must score at least 270. This equates to 135, based on the MBE’s 200-point scale. The scores of the exam sections are weighted as follows: MPT 20%, MEE 30%, and MBE 50%. New Hampshire makes bar exam results available approximately 10 weeks after the exam.

Reciprocity

New Hampshire provides for admission by motion without examination of an attorney from a reciprocal jurisdiction who, among other things: 1) has been admitted to the reciprocal jurisdiction’s bar by passing its bar exam; or 2) has been practicing law therein for five of the past seven years. Relative to such admission, New Hampshire has requirements for an attorney from Maine or Vermont. Upon fulfilling other requirements, an applicant may obtain admission by motion based on their UBE score transferred from another jurisdiction.
