Mont. Bd. Bar Exam'rs R. 103
Examination, Administration, and Grading
A. Attendance at Examination. An applicant may not be admitted to a Uniform Bar
Examination session more than one-half hour after the session begins. An applicant
who is admitted after an examination session begins may not receive extra time and
the examination session will conclude as scheduled.
B. MEE and MPT Grading. Each examination paper produced by an applicant on
the MEE and MPT is separately graded. Examination papers are graded and
credited by applicant number and not by applicant name.
C. Score Combining. MBE answer sheets are scanned and centrally scored by the
National Conference of Bar Examiners. MEE and MPT answers are graded on a
scale of zero to six, with six being the highest qualifying score and zero being the
lowest possible score. All scores are converted to the 400 Uniform Bar Examination
point scale and combined with the MBE scaled scores. MEE and MPT scores are
scaled to the MBE, with the MBE weighted 50%, the MEE 30%, and the MPT 20%.
An applicant with a combined scaled score of 266 or higher will be deemed to have
passed the Montana Uniform Bar Examination.
D. Disruption During Examination. Should a serious disruption occur during any
portion of a Uniform Bar Examination session, the Bar Admissions Administrator
or proctors must record the incident on the proctor and irregularity report forms and
the Board will be notified. If examination time is lost by the general examination
population due to the disruption, a corresponding amount of time will be added to
the end of the same examination session, if reasonably feasible.
E. Individual Emergencies During Examination. If during the course of Uniform
Bar Examination administration an applicant has a sudden and unexpected
emergency not of the applicant’s making and the Bar Admissions Administrator has
approved the applicant’s departure or other inability to complete the examination,
the departure will be treated as a deferral and the fees will transfer to the next
examination. The Bar Admissions Administrator will record the incident on the
proctor and irregularity report forms and the Board will be notified.
