The first NextGen bar exam is done.
How did it actually go?
Five minutes, anonymous, live results — see how your two days compared to the rest of the first cohort in history.
Scarce official samples.
The official sample pool is a handful of questions for an entirely new exam. You can exhaust it in an afternoon.
New, unfamiliar formats.
Integrated question sets and 60-minute performance tasks don't behave like the old exam. The format itself is half the battle.
Feedback takes days.
Human essay grading costs $50–100 and comes back in days. Two weeks out, you don't have days.
How it works.
Open a task.
Original scenarios in the NextGen structure: assignment memo, File, Library. Fictional jurisdiction, complete legal universe — everything you need is on the page, just like exam day.
Write under the clock.
A 60-minute timer you can show or hide, an editor that autosaves, and nothing else in your way.
Get graded in minutes.
Issue-by-issue scoring against a point sheet, five structural dimensions, and the single change that would most improve your next attempt.
The docket.
A homeowner, a roofing contract, and a cancellation statute with teeth.
A handwritten note, a lakeside cottage, and two siblings reading it differently.
An out-of-state manufacturer says it can't be sued here. Convince the court otherwise.
Six questions, one client, the format nobody has practice for.
Every task is original, written for the NextGen structure, and graded against its own point sheet.
Priced for the two weeks that matter.
One task, one full evaluation. See what the feedback is worth.
Five evaluations across any tasks. About $8 each.
Up to 10 evaluations a day through July 31, 2026. For the final push.
First evaluation is free through exam week. No subscription, nothing renews. · Full schedule →
