The Minnesota bar exam is a two-day exam.  Minnesota has adopted the Uniform Bar Exam.  On the first day, the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) and Multistate Essay Exam (MEE) are administered.  Two Multistate Performance Test questions are given in the morning.  Six Multistate Essay Exam questions are given in the afternoon.  On the second day, the 200-question Multistate Bar Exam (MBE) is administered.  AmeriBar offers a complete Minnesota Bar Review Course for $1799. AmeriBar's Minnesota Bar Review Course will prepare you to pass the Minnesota Bar Exam.

The MPT counts for 20% of your total score on the Minnesota bar exam.  The essay exam counts for 30% of your total Minnesota bar exam score.  The MBE counts for the remaining 50% of your score on the Minnesota bar exam.   

In order to pass the MPRE, the Minnesota bar examiners require a score of at least 85.  AmeriBat offers a free MPRE Course  to help you pass the MPRE.

An applicant for admission to the Minnesota bar may be admitted on basis of having taken a prior MBE if the applicant 1) scored a 145 or higher (scaled) or higher on the MBE, 2) passed entire exam and was admitted in that jurisdiction, 3) meets MPRE score requirements,  and 4) the MBE was taken in the last two years.

A Minnesota bar applicant may waive in if the applicant has practiced in another jurisdiction for 5 of last 7 years and graduated from ABA accredited law school.

Minnesota also administers the UBE.  Therefore, an applicant may qualify for admission to the Minnesota bar by using a portable UBE score.
