The MBE tests general legal principles across multiple subjects and is used to assess a candidate’s foundational legal knowledge.
MBE questions present hypothetical legal scenarios, and candidates must choose the best answer from four options.
The MBE tests six core subjects: Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law and Procedure, Evidence, Real Property, and Torts.
The MBE is scored by counting the number of correct answers, with no penalty for incorrect answers.
The MBE consists of 200 multiple-choice questions divided into two 3-hour sessions.
