Prepare with More Than 1,000 NCBE-Licensed MBE Questions Plus Thousands of Additional Practice Questions
Passing the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) portion of the legacy Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) is a key requirement for becoming a licensed attorney in many U.S. states.* Consistent practice with multiple-choice questions is critical to boosting your knowledge of fundamental legal principles for success on the MBE.
To help you build a strong foundation in each subject area tested and to get you fully prepared, BARBRI Bar Review includes more than 1,000 NCBE-licensed MBE practice questions—giving you extensive exposure to authentic exam-style questions developed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (the organization that creates the MBE). The BARBRI Bar Review course does this by strategically integrating about 400 of those licensed MBE questions directly into your Personalized Study Plan (PSP). You also have access to more than 600 additional released questions through More Practice in your PSP. And we don't stop there.
Thousands of BARBRI-authored MBE questions are also available in our bar prep courses for extra practice in areas in which you feel a little less confident. These are comprehensive question sets drafted by the most experienced team of bar preparation experts in the industry, combined with advanced analytics on what topics are most likely to be tested. Now for the reality check.
Quantity Isn’t Everything
Successful bar prep requires more than simply completing as many questions as possible. While the sheer number of available questions is impressive in BARBRI Bar Review, we want to emphasize that it's the order, approach, and specific bar exam practice questions you answer that are more important than hitting a certain number of questions. That’s why early in your BARBRI bar prep course, your PSP uses the latest proven learning methodology and algorithms to tailor assignments, including multiple-choice question sets, to build a strong foundation and framework.
As you get deeper into your studies, your PSP introduces more complex and mixed-subject questions to match your growing understanding and mirror the challenges of the bar exam.
Get More Points on the Bar Exam with BARBRI
While helping more than 1.43 million attorneys pass the bar nearly 60 years, we’ve learned that even though a topic can be tested on the bar exam, it doesn’t mean it’s likely to be tested. Some topics are always tested, and others are tested infrequently. It’s important to work all types of MBE practice questions to get exposure to the areas of law that will get you the most points on exam day.
Your PSP focuses first on areas of the law that you’re most likely to encounter on the bar exam. This helps BARBRI students score an average of 19 more points on the bar in UBE jurisdictions compared to students who use any other bar prep course.
The questions curated throughout your BARBRI bar prep course provide exposure to realistic MBE questions while making sure you are learning things that will increase your future bar exam score. Your PSP also incorporates spaced repetition, a technique shown to improve retention by reviewing information at strategically spaced intervals. Additionally, interleaving practice mixes different subjects, aiding in better recall and understanding of varied legal concepts.
Additionally, each BARBRI MBE question you encounter comes with explanatory answers written by BARBRI subject matter experts. Reviewing expert explanatory answers helps you understand why certain options are correct or incorrect. This entire process is scientifically shown to help you learn 40%** faster, deepen your comprehension and retention, and ultimately pass the bar exam.
