Montana specifics: Petition pending (proposes Feb 2028); not yet NCBE-listed.

Montana administers the legacy UBE (cut score 266) and has not announced a NextGen adoption date. The legacy UBE's final administration is February 2028, so a decision is coming — jurisdictions that stay silent effectively choose by that deadline.

Adoption status sourced from NCBE’s decisions-by-jurisdiction page. Registration windows, fees, and character & fitness requirements are set by the Montana 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.
