About this exam
The Florida Bar Examination is a licensing examination for candidates seeking admission to practice law in Florida. Applicants generally must meet the state’s legal education and character-and-fitness requirements as well as pass the examination; eligibility can depend on an applicant’s circumstances. The exam assesses legal analysis and knowledge of both general law and Florida-specific rules. Candidates should also track the 2027–2028 transition: Florida plans to begin using the NextGen bar exam in July 2028, so the format may depend on the administration they take.
For administrations before the transition, the Florida exam has included a Florida portion with essay and multiple-choice questions and the Multistate Bar Examination, a multiple-choice test of widely tested legal subjects. Florida study areas include Contracts, Sales and UCC Article 2, Torts, and Real Property, alongside other subjects and Florida-specific law. Preparation means learning rules, applying them to unfamiliar facts, and practicing clear, timed responses—not simply memorizing outlines. Confirm the current exam format, subject coverage, and application requirements with the Florida Board of Bar Examiners, especially for a 2028 administration.
How to prepare for the Florida Bar Examination
- Check the Florida Board of Bar Examiners’ current exam announcements and subject outlines to confirm which format and requirements apply to your administration, particularly around the July 2028 transition.
- Build a subject-by-subject review plan for Florida law and tested general law. Give focused attention to Contracts, Sales and UCC Article 2, Torts, and Real Property, and practice distinguishing Florida rules from general rules.
- Use timed essays and multiple-choice sets to identify weak areas. After each session, review explanations, write down the rule you missed, and practice applying it to new facts.
