In October, the National Conference of Bar Examiners will conduct a nationwide prototype exam for the NextGen Bar Exam, which is currently under development.

The prototype exam is a full-length, nine-hour pre-test over two days of the new bar exam question types and format that will debut in July 2026. The Florida prototype exam will be held October 25-26 in Miami.

July 2024 bar examinees will be invited to apply to serve as paid participants in the October prototype exam and, if selected, will be paid $1,500 for their participation, according to Graeme Gallagher of the National Conference of Bar Examiners, adding participants are required to make a good-faith effort on the exam but are not expected to study for it.
