The MBE consists of 200 multiple-choice questions, administered in two sessions of 100 questions each. This section is a significant portion of the UBE, contributing 50% of the total score.
In the UBE format used by Arkansas, the MBE is worth 50% of the total score, the MEE accounts for 30%, and the MPT accounts for 20%.
The MEE consists of six essay questions. These questions are designed to test the applicant's ability to analyze legal issues and communicate effectively in writing.
