The National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) is a not-for-profit organization that works with other institutions to develop, maintain, and apply reasonable and uniform standards of education and character for eligibility for admission to the practice of law. NCBE assists bar admission authorities by providing standardized examinations of uniform high quality to nearly every jurisdiction in the United States. Current tests that NCBE provides are:

The Multistate Performance Test (MPT) — three 90-minute skills questions covering legal analysis, fact analysis, problem solving, resolution of ethical dilemmas, organization and management of a lawyering task, and communication.
