FEBRUARY 2012 Bar Examination Test Sites
In accordance with Board Rule 6000.5, each applicant admitted to the
examination shall be assigned to a test center in one of the four
judicial departments located in the State. Test center assignments
will depend on the sites available for a given administration of the
examination. Generally, applicants will be assigned to a test center
in the department in which they reside (at the time the application
is completed); out-of-state residents will be given the opportunity
to choose from locations with available seats, but most will likely
be assigned to sit for the exam in the Capital Region or Western New
York. Applicants will be required to confirm their seat location in
an email that will be sent a few weeks after the application period
ends.
The email will list the assigned location, based on the residence
address given at the time of application, if you are a resident in
the First, Second, Third and Fourth Department. If you do not reside
in New York State, the location will be listed as “unassigned”
ALL candidates will be given the opportunity to choose a location
based on sites with available seats. Only locations with available
seats will appear in your email. You may either confirm the location
listed or choose from one of the other the locations listed in your
email with seats available. If your location is listed as
“unassigned”, you must choose from one of the available locations.
Generally, “unassigned” candidates will have the opportunity to
choose from Albany or Buffalo. If there are any available seats in
New York City at the time of the email, that location will also be
listed in the email. The number of seats available in New York City
for candidates who do not live in New York State will be very
limited and will be available on a “first-come, first-serve” basis.
Once a location is full, you will be required to take the
examination at one of the locations with available seats. There will
NOT be a waiting list for any location. You must choose your
location based on the locations with available seats at the time of
the email.
