According to State Bar of Nevada, “There will be 3 practical scenarios in the LPE.”[2]
The Nevada Bar Exam is run by the State Bar of Nevada and is split into separate components. The Foundational Law Exam (FLE) is a 4-hour, closed-book test of 100 multiple-choice questions covering 7 subjects, with 14 to 15 questions each. You take it at a Prometric test center on a computer the center provides. You may sit the FLE after completing 42 credits in an ABA-accredited JD program.
The Lawyering Performance Exam (LPE) is different. It has 3 performance tests, taken in person on your own laptop at the Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. To take it you need a JD from an ABA-accredited school or its equivalent. The Supervised Practice Program (SPP) is a further component, and its self-directed learning and journaling work takes about 60 days to grade.
All components must be finished within a 6-year window, which is 3 years before and after passing the LPE. There is no limit on attempts within that window, but you can hold only one FLE registration at a time.
Fees depend on your status. The FLE costs $325 for attorneys and $150 for non-attorneys, the LPE costs $500 and $265, and the SPP costs $350. Late fees are $550. We do not have verified scoring details, so check the State Bar of Nevada site for how results are reported.
Prepare for the NV Bar - Nevada Bar Exam exam with our free practice test modules. Each quiz covers key topics to help you pass on your first try.
These are practice questions written for this site, not questions from the real exam. Each explanation shows why the right answer is right and why the others are wrong.
Question: In Nevada, what is the statute of limitations for a general negligence personal injury claim?
Answer: B. 2 years
Explanation:
The answer is 2 years. Nevada gives a general negligence personal injury claim a short filing period, and a plaintiff who files after it runs out will usually see the case dismissed. The option of 1 year is too short for this kind of claim. The options of 3 years and 6 years are too long; longer periods apply to other kinds of claims, not to ordinary negligence injuries.
The rule to remember: every claim type has its own limitations period, and personal injury negligence sits at the shorter end. When a question names the claim type, match the period to that type rather than to a general sense of how long courts allow.
Question: In Nevada, which privilege allows a client to refuse to disclose confidential communications made to an attorney for the purpose of seeking legal advice?
Answer: B. Attorney-client privilege
Explanation:
The answer is attorney-client privilege. It protects confidential communications between a lawyer and a client made to obtain or give legal advice, and the client holds the right to refuse disclosure. The work-product doctrine is wrong because it protects materials a lawyer prepares in anticipation of litigation, not the client's communications. Common interest privilege is wrong because it only extends an existing privilege when parties with shared legal interests exchange information. Spousal communications privilege is wrong because it covers private communications between spouses, with no lawyer involved.
The rule to remember: ask who is talking and why. Lawyer and client, for legal advice, points to attorney-client privilege.
Question: Under Nevada law, a landlord must provide how much notice to terminate a month-to-month tenancy?
Answer: B. 30 days
Explanation:
The answer is 30 days. A landlord ending a month-to-month tenancy in Nevada must give written notice for that period before the tenancy ends. The option of 14 days is too short for this type of tenancy. The options of 45 days and 60 days are longer than the statute requires, so a landlord who gave them would be over-complying, not meeting a minimum.
The rule to remember: notice periods follow the type of tenancy and the reason for ending it. For a plain month-to-month termination, think of the landlord's written notice as the standard test, and read the question for any special circumstance that would change the period.
Start with the official material. Read the State Bar of Nevada pages for the component you are sitting, and note the format, the eligibility rules and your registration deadline. Then use our sets to find weak spots before you plan your time.

Yes. There is no limit on the number of attempts, as long as you finish every component within the 6-year eligibility window. You can hold only one FLE registration at a time, so you must sit or cancel one before registering for another.
The LPE has 3 performance tests, also described as practical scenarios. You take it in person at the Plaza Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, using your own laptop. Registration for the January LPE closes November 30, 2026.
You have a 6-year eligibility window to complete every component. The window runs 3 years before and 3 years after you pass the LPE. Plan your order of exams with that limit in mind, and confirm details with the State Bar of Nevada.
