1) With Real MEE Practice Essays
SmartBarPrep gives you access to actual Past MEE Exams. Use these to practice writing essays under timed conditions.
Includes:
- Real MEE exams for 25+ years (over 325 essays spanning Feb. 1997 – Feb. 2023).

MPT Practice
Real MPT Practice Exams
The MPT is often an overlooked section of the exam, despite the fact that it accounts for 20% of your score. With that in mind, we encourage practicing at least 1 question per Task type.
In our MPT Practice Guide, we’ve made that easy by organizing all released MPT’s by Task so you can easily jump into practice.
Includes:
- Real MPT exams for 23+ years (over 100 questions from July 1997 – Feb. 2023).
- Point Sheets that the bar exam graders use to score MPT questions so you can grade yourself.
- A clickable Table of Contents to easily find a particular Task type, MPT question, or point sheet. MPT questions are organized by Task in reverse chronological order, so you can start with the newest questions first.
MBE Practice
800+ Real MBE Questions
We’ve taken all the guesswork out of finding the best MBE practice questions, and offer them at the absolute best price.
What You’ll Receive in this MBE Question Pack:
(200 Questions + Explanations)
- 200 MBE questions selected from recent exams;
- updated items consistent with current law; and
- annotations for each question, explaining why the answer is correct and the distractors are wrong.
All 200 questions are from actual past administrations of the MBE bar exam, PLUS answer explanations are provided so you can review why an answer is correct or incorrect.
This is the only full-length simulated MBE offered by NCBE (just released in September 2021)… and SmartBarPrep has licensed access to it, so you can be the most prepared for the MBE section of the bar exam!

Four Practice Exams
Each Practice Exam includes 100 questions from six MBE subject areas:
- Constitutional Law
- Contracts
- Criminal Law and Procedure
- Evidence
- Real Property
- Torts
Note: Civil Procedure was not tested on the MBE until February of 2015, and for that reason is not included in this study set. But rest assured, we have you covered with our Civil Procedure Mini Practice Exam (see below).
Detailed Explanations for the
400 Practice Questions
Explanations are essential to effective MBE Practice. If you do tons of questions, but never review explanations of why your answer was correct or incorrect, then you’re missing the point of doing the practice questions in the first place.
Knowing why your answers were incorrect or incorrect will propel your studying to the next level. This will not only solidify your MBE knowledge, but also eliminates any wild guess (that resulted in a correct answer) from being bypassed and not reviewed.
Civil Procedure Mini Practice Exam
Test your knowledge of Civil Procedure with 56 Official MBE Questions, including the first ever actual used Civil Procedure questions released.
PLUS, included are the official answer explanations written by the NCBE for each question – including the ones just released in 2019 and 2020.
Mini Practice Exams by Subject
Each mini-exam includes 30 MBE Questions drawn from recent exams. The mini-exams are grouped individually by subject area, followed by an Answer Key.
Each group of questions is prefaced by the official Subject Matter Scope Outline released by the NCBE.
There are no explanations for these sets, but they are the most recent questions released by the NCBE and are the closest thing to the actual MBE questions still used on the test today.
Each Smart Study System Package Also Includes:

If after reading through our outlines and study guides, you aren’t happy for any reason, just email us within 30 days of purchase and you’ll receive a full refund (*with the exception of the MBE question portion). We obviously don’t think it’ll come to that, but if you’re even the least bit worried, then put your mind at ease.
The Secret Behind SmartBarPrep
It got us thinking…could we do better?
Our answer, SmartBarPrep’s Priority Outline, is based on the analysis of past Uniform Bar Exam/Multistate Essay Exam (UBE/MEE) essays. It would take you over 1,000 hours of reading, analyzing, compiling, and drafting to equal the information at your fingertips in our outlines and study guides.
Here is the method used to create the Priority Outline:
The National Conference of Bar Examiners releases past exam questions along with student answers for each question approximately 3 months after the exam. This has allowed us to compile statistics from the last 59 UBE/MEE Bar Exams (February 1995 to February 2023) by analyzing every issue and rule that was tested.
Every topic tested on the UBE/MEE Bar essays is compiled here!
The 80/20 Rule in Action
We are a firm believer in the 80/20 Rule developed by Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto. In short, the rule says that in almost anything in life, only a few things (the 20%) are essential, while the rest (the remaining 80%) are trivial.
After thousands of hours in review, the SmartBarPrep team proved that this rule can be applied to the bar exam. In line with the 80/20 Rule, patterns emerged. The most noticeable was that the bar examiners tested some material more frequently than others.
For example, whenever a Civil Procedure question appeared on the UBE/MEE, we found that approximately 40% of the time a component of the question dealt with the “Subject Matter Jurisdiction: Diversity of Citizenship” rule. Since this rule is tested frequently, it makes sense to spend more time memorizing it than, say, the rule for Depositions, which appeared only once in the last 25+ years.
Also in line with the 80/20 Rule, focusing 80% of your time and energy on the 20% of the rules of law that are tested most frequently will maximize your chances of passing. Don’t just work hard; work smart by focusing on the right things.
That is exactly what our study materials do: They show you what is most important and where to focus your efforts.
Here is a chart that shows just how often rules are repeated:
- February 2023 79.1%
- July 2022 93.8%
- February 2022 86.7%
- July 2021 74.1%
- February 2021 96.0%
- October 2020 82.4%
- September 2020 86.2%
- July 2020 72.4%
- February 2020 78.5%
- July 2019 72.0%
- February 2019 92.3%
- July 2018 75.0%
- February 2018 81.8%
- July 2017 93.9%
- February 2017 92.0%
- July 2016 (86.5%*) 64.8%
- February 2016 96.9%
- July 2015 70.0%
- February 2015 72.7%
- July 2014 72.7%
*86.5% of the rules tested on the July 2016 MEE were contained in the July 2016 SmartBarPrep Priority Outline, as the outline contains additional rules for the six traditional MBE subjects (Contracts, Constitutional Law, Criminal Law & Procedure, Evidence, Real Property, and Torts) since these subjects have only been tested on the essays since July 2007!

What is the UBE, MEE, MBE, and MPT?
What is the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE)?
The UBE is developed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE), and currently used by 40+ bar exam jurisdictions.
The UBE has 3 sections:
- Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) – 200 multiple choice questions (50% of your score)
- Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) – 6 essays (30% of your score)
- Multistate Performance Test (MPT) – 2 performance tests (20% of your score)
It is uniformly administered, graded, and scored by user jurisdictions and results in a portable score that can be transferred to other UBE jurisdictions.
What is the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE)?
The MBE is a six-hour, 200-question multiple-choice examination.
Every jurisdiction uses the MBE (except for Louisiana and Puerto Rico) as part of their bar exam, including all UBE jurisdictions.
What is the Multistate Essay Exam (MEE)?
The MEE consists of six 30-minute essay questions.
Currently, 39 jurisdictions use the MEE as part of their bar exam, including all UBE jurisdictions.
What is the Multistate Performance Test (MPT)?
The MPT consists of two 90-minute performance test items.
According to the NCBE, “it is designed to test an examinee’s ability to use fundamental lawyering skills in a realistic situation and complete a task that a beginning lawyer should be able to accomplish. The MPT is not a test of substantive knowledge. Rather, it is designed to evaluate certain fundamental skills lawyers are expected to demonstrate regardless of the area of law in which the skills are applied.”
