The raw scores from the written portion and the MBE portion of the exam are converted to a scaled score. The maximum possible scaled score on each component of the test is 200 points. The MBE scaled score and the essay scaled score are added together. An Applicant must receive a total combined scaled score of 270 to pass the Utah State Bar Examination. Attorney Applicants will have their written scores converted to a scaled score using the MBE scale. Since they are not required to take the MBE, their pass/fail status is based solely on the written portion of the examination. Attorney Applicants must receive a score of 135 to pass the Utah Bar examination.
