The California bar exam includes two separate performance tests of (IIRC) two- to three hours each. You're given a packet of "facts" and legal-reference materials. Your assignment is to write a motion for a court case; a memo to the client; etc. (Starting in July 2017 it'll be cut to one performance test of 90 minutes [0].)

In my day, the multistate also had a "practical" exam option that involved creating a brief from a small pile of evidences. It only took a few hours.
