To provide needed flexibility for jurisdictions and candidates in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, in addition to preparing materials for a July bar exam, NCBE will make bar exam materials available for two fall administrations in 2020: September 9-10 and September 30-October 1. Each jurisdiction will determine whether to offer the exam in July, in early September, or in late September. See NCBE COVID-19 Updates for more information.
