GPT-4 scored about 297 of 400 on the Uniform Bar Exam

In their 2023 paper “GPT-4 Passes the Bar Exam,” Daniel Martin Katz and colleagues estimated that GPT-4, scored across all components of the Uniform Bar Examination the way a human applicant would be, reached approximately 297 of 400 points - above the passing threshold (typically 266 to 270) in every UBE jurisdiction. The widely repeated “90th percentile” framing of this result was later contested by Eric Martinez, who argued the percentile rank was inflated by the composition of the comparison group and was closer to the median against representative or attorney populations. The raw score of roughly 297 was not the disputed part; the percentile interpretation was.
