Md. Rule 19-209 (2026)

(a) Notice of Grades; Alteration. Subject to Rule 19-203 (e), the Board shall transmit written notice of examination results to each applicant who took the UBE in Maryland. The Board shall determine the form and method of delivery of the notice of results. Applicants, whether successful or unsuccessful, shall be given their grades in the detail the Board considers appropriate. Thereafter, the Board may not alter any applicant's grades except when necessary to correct a clerical error.

(b) Review Procedure. The Board shall provide information on any procedures offered by NCBE by which unsuccessful applicants may obtain any of their written examination materials made available by NCBE and request any review offered by NCBE of the scoring of the multiple-choice portions of their NextGen UBE attempt.

Committee note: For bar examinations administered prior to July 2026, the Board retained applicants' written examination answers until one day after the administration of the next bar examination and, pursuant to Board Rule 8 (2025), provided a procedure for unsuccessful applicants to request copies of their written answers and to request that NCBE review their MBE score. Effective July 2026, all NextGen UBE answers remain in the custody of NCBE, and review of those answers is subject to procedures to be established by NCBE.
