A: Overall passing grade on the New Hampshire Bar Examination is 270 on a scale of 400 (the equivalent of 70%). No artificial limit will be placed on the number of applicants who will be recommended for admission. The Examiners recommend for admission any applicant who has demonstrated competence through adequate performance on the examination.
Unsuccessful applicants will be provided with a breakdown of scores by mail, approximately a month after the results are announced. Unsuccessful applicants may review their multi state performance exam and essay answers at the Supreme Court building under procedures established by the Clerk.
Q: How can other states be notified of my Multistate Bar Examination score?
A: Applicants who wish their scores to be certified should provide the exact name and address of the bar examining authority to which the score is to be certified and send it to:
Frederick Coolbroth, Esq.
Chairman, New Hampshire Board of Bar Examiners
Devine, Millimet and Branch
49 N. Main St.
Concord, New Hampshire 03301
However, applicants must NOT include any reference to their applicant numbers in making requests for certification, as premature revelation of an applicant number may breach an applicant's anonymity and result in disqualification.
