Florida specifics: FBE now; adds 4-hr state component; no NextGen transfers before Jul 2028.

Florida administers its own bar exam today rather than the UBE, and adopts the NextGen bar exam with the July 2028 administration (July 25–26, 2028).

That date decides which exam you study for. Candidates sitting in Florida before July 2028 take the current exam; from July 2028 onward, the NextGen format applies. If your timeline could cross the switch — say a first attempt on the old exam and a retake after — factor in that the two formats reward different preparation.

Florida has not announced its NextGen passing score yet. NCBE recommends setting it between 610 and 620 on the 500–750 scale — a sensible planning target in the meantime.

Adoption status sourced from NCBE’s decisions-by-jurisdiction page. Registration windows, fees, and character & fitness requirements are set by the Florida board of bar examiners — always confirm deadlines with them directly.

Preparing for the NextGen format

The NextGen exam tests 8 foundational subjects through three item types — standalone MCQs (including 6-option select-two), integrated question sets, and performance tasks. BARGO covers all three with exam-format practice, honest availability per subject, and a free diagnostic to find your baseline.
