According to Utah State Bar (Admissions) / Utah Supreme Court; NCBE for the UBE, “There are 2 MPT questions on the Bar Exam.”^[1]

UT Bar content outline and where to practise each area

The content areas below are copied from the official UT Bar content outline published by Utah State Bar (Admissions) / Utah Supreme Court; NCBE for the UBE. The right-hand column shows which of our practice sets covers it.

Worked examples: how to reason through UT Bar questions

These are practice questions written for this site, not questions from the real exam. Each explanation shows why the right answer is right and why the others are wrong.

Example 1

Question: What is the best evidence rule?

1. Original documents must be produced to prove their contents unless an exception applies
2. Only the strongest evidence in a case is admissible
3. Physical evidence always takes priority over testimony
4. The party with the best evidence wins automatically

Answer: A. Original documents must be produced to prove their contents unless an exception applies

Explanation:

Option A is correct. The best evidence rule says that when a party wants to prove what a writing, recording or photograph says, it must produce the original, unless an exception applies, such as a lost original or an admissible duplicate.

Option B is wrong because the rule has nothing to do with which evidence is strongest or most persuasive. Option C is wrong because the rule sets no ranking between physical evidence and testimony. Option D is wrong because no party wins automatically by holding better evidence; the rule only governs how contents are proved.

Rule to remember: the rule applies only when the contents of a document, recording or photograph are the point. If a witness testifies about an event they saw, even one that was also recorded, the rule is not triggered.

Example 2

Question: A defendant breaks into a house at night intending to retrieve a bicycle he genuinely and reasonably believes is his own. At common law, is the defendant guilty of burglary?

1. Yes, because he broke and entered a dwelling at night
2. Yes, because mistake of fact never negates intent
3. No, because he lacked the intent to commit a felony inside, believing the property was his
4. No, because taking a bicycle is only a misdemeanor

Answer: C. No, because he lacked the intent to commit a felony inside, believing the property was his

Explanation:

Option C is correct. At common law, burglary is breaking and entering a dwelling of another at night with the intent to commit a felony inside. Intent is measured at the moment of entry. A defendant who genuinely and reasonably believes the bicycle is his own lacks the intent to steal, so the required mental state is missing.

Option A is wrong because breaking and entering at night is not enough without the intent element. Option B is wrong because an honest mistake of fact can negate a specific intent. Option D is wrong because the reasoning is not about whether the taking is a misdemeanor; the defendant's mistaken belief removes the intent to commit any theft at all.

Rule to remember: for specific-intent crimes, an honest mistake of fact that negates the intent is a defense.

Example 3

Question: A buyer orders 100 red shirts. The seller ships 100 blue shirts with a note saying the blue shirts are offered only as an accommodation. What is the legal effect of the shipment?

1. It is a counteroffer that the buyer may accept or reject, not a breach
2. It is an acceptance and a breach of contract
3. It is an acceptance creating a contract for blue shirts
4. It is a rejection terminating all negotiations

Answer: A. It is a counteroffer that the buyer may accept or reject, not a breach

Explanation:

Option A is correct. Under the UCC, a seller who ships nonconforming goods and clearly notifies the buyer that the shipment is only an accommodation has not accepted the order. The shipment is a counteroffer, and the buyer may accept or reject it. Because the seller has not tried to perform the original contract, there is no breach.

Option B is wrong because the accommodation note prevents the shipment from counting as an acceptance. Option C is wrong for the same reason: no contract for blue shirts exists until the buyer accepts. Option D is wrong because a counteroffer leaves negotiations open rather than ending them for good.

Rule to remember: shipping nonconforming goods is usually both an acceptance and a breach, but a seasonable notice that the shipment is an accommodation turns it into a counteroffer.

How to use these practice tests

Start with the official material. Read the Utah State Bar Admissions pages and the NCBE description of the UBE so you know the format, scoring and deadlines before you study content.

Next, take a short set in each subject on this page to find where you lose points. Do not just count right answers. For every miss, write down the rule you misapplied and the wrong option that tempted you, then reread the explanation.

Spend most of your time on your weakest subjects, returning to them in short, repeated sessions rather than one long block. Use the Multistate Bar set for multiple-choice stamina, and use the Multistate Essay and Multistate Performance sets to practise writing under time pressure, since the written component is timed at 6 hours.

Before test day, practise on the laptop you will use for the exam, so the keyboard and software are familiar. Do a final timed run of mixed questions, review only the rules you keep missing, and read the Utah State Bar instructions again for exam-day requirements. Our questions are written by us with AI tools and are not real exam questions, so use them to build skills, not to predict your score.

Sample Utah Bar Exam Practice Questions

Try these questions from our free Utah Bar Exam practice tests. The correct answer and an explanation follow each question.

1. A prosecutor seeks to cross-examine a testifying defendant about a felony fraud conviction from four years ago. Under Rule 609, the conviction is:

   • A. Automatically admissible because fraud involves a dishonest act or false statement
   • B. Admissible only if probative value substantially outweighs prejudice
   • C. Inadmissible because the defendant is the accused
   • D. Inadmissible because more than three years have passed

Answer: A. Automatically admissible because fraud involves a dishonest act or false statement

Under Rule 609(a)(2), convictions for crimes involving dishonesty or false statement must be admitted to impeach, without balancing.

Answer: C. Inadmissible because police may not reinitiate interrogation after an unambiguous request for counsel

Under Edwards v. Arizona, once a suspect invokes the right to counsel, police may not reinitiate interrogation until counsel is provided or the suspect reinitiates contact.

Answer: A. Transient (tag) jurisdiction, because in-state personal service supports general jurisdiction under Burnham

Under Burnham v. Superior Court, personal service on a defendant physically present in the forum state supports jurisdiction even for unrelated claims.

Answer: A. Deadly force cannot be used solely to protect property

Deadly mechanical devices may not be used to defend property alone because deadly force is permitted only to protect human life.
