how many questions on the ny bar
The current system requires applicants to complete a 200-question multi-state exam, five essays, and 50 multiple-choice questions on New York State law, and a multiple state performance test. Starting in July 2016, would-be lawyers in New York will still have to pass the 200-question multistate exam, but there will be no testing of specific New York State laws. Instead, test takers will have to complete six essays and two lawyer skill tasks written by the National Conference of Bar Examiners.
