  Awesome, have to check out the links when I get home. Thanks so much. I hadn't heard it called the uniform bar exam but maybe that's the same thing. Thanks @jdawg113 & @stepharizona!

  I did look up the MBE, same site and it is called the Multistate Bar Examination, but thought you mean the UBE....
  
  http://www.ncbex.org/exams/mbe/
  
  and it is administered in every state except Louisiana, it says on the site that:
  
  "The Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) is a six-hour, 200-question multiple-choice examination developed by NCBE and administered by user jurisdictions as part of the bar examination on the last Wednesday in February and the last Wednesday in July of each year.
  
  The MBE is only one of a number of measures that a board of bar examiners may use in determining competence to practice. Each jurisdiction determines its own policy with regard to the relative weight given to the MBE and other scores. The MBE is a component of the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE). Jurisdictions that administer the UBE weight the MBE component 50%."
