An Applicant's score on the UBE, as certified by the NCBE, is final.Board's Notes
This rule is new and reflects the adoption of the Uniform Bar Examination. Consistent with the standards for the UBE, the rule provides that certified UBE scores are final. A UBE jurisdiction may not offer the review and appeal process set forth in the prior rules §§ 10(f), (g), (h). Those provisions have accordingly been eliminated.
