Bar Exam Format
Starting in 2027, Nevada licenses attorneys through the Nevada Comprehensive Licensing Examination, known as the Nevada Plan. Instead of one multi-day exam, you complete four separate components on your own timeline. All four must fall within a six-year eligibility window centered on the year you pass the LPE. You can retake components as many times as needed within that window.
Foundational Law Exam (FLE)
A closed-book exam of 100 multiple-choice questions, about four hours long, taken at Prometric testing centers in or outside Nevada. You can take it once you’ve completed 42 credits at an ABA-accredited law school. The FLE is offered four times a year beginning in 2027.
Lawyering Performance Exam (LPE)
Three performance scenarios across two sessions, six hours total. Modeled on the former Nevada Performance Tests, the LPE asks you to complete realistic new-associate tasks using a file and library. It’s offered in January and June, and only after you’ve earned your JD.
Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE®)
A two-hour, 60-question exam offered three times a year. Nevada requires a scaled score of 85. You register with NCBE directly and can take it any time during law school.
Supervised Practice Program (SPP)
At least 40 hours of supervised legal work, including a required client interview or counseling task, plus a self-directed learning and journaling project. You can begin after 42 credits. Licensed attorneys with more than six continuous months of active practice in the past two years may request an exemption.

Dates and Deadlines
Nevada updates registration windows frequently. Check the State Bar of Nevada’s Nevada Plan page for current FLE, LPE, and SPP deadlines.
My constant dialogue with the Themis staff helped me avoid feeling overwhelmed and optimized my study time. Without the personalized support, quick response time and such a flexible/adaptable program, I would've been in heaps of trouble. I still cannot fathom why anyone would pay double or triple for an inferior product. Thanks Themis!
