Free NCBE MBE Practice Questions

Overview

The Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) is a six-hour, 200-question multiple-choice examination developed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE). It is administered in two 3-hour sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with 100 questions in each session. There is typically a one-hour break between sessions. The MBE is designed to assess the extent to which an examinee can apply fundamental legal principles and legal reasoning to analyze given fact patterns. Each question has one correct answer.

Subject Areas

The MBE covers seven key subject areas:

About Our Practice Questions

These practice questions aim to reflect the format and style you'll encounter in your MBE assessment. They follow a similar development process, providing a realistic preview of the exam experience. While these practice sets aim to provide a 200-question experience similar to the full MBE, they are drawn from our larger bank of over 1000+ questions and cover many facets of the MBE material. Consider them a valuable study aid rather than a complete mock exam, as they cannot fully replicate the timed, closed-book conditions of the actual MBE.

Time Management

Time management is crucial for success in the MBE. With 3 hours allocated for each 100-question session (totaling 200 questions over 6 hours), you'll have approximately 1.8 minutes per question. Some questions may require more detailed analysis than others, so practice adjusting your pace accordingly.

Using This Resource

Our question bank contains over 300+ practice questions. Each time you refresh your browser, you'll see a new selection of questions. While this means you can't save your progress, it allows you to practice extensively with different scenarios at your own pace.

Pleased to share that I have successfully passed the SQE1 exam on 1st attempt. With SQE2 exempted, I’m now one step closer to getting enrolled as a Solicitor of England and Wales! Would like to thank my seniors, colleagues, mentors and friends for all the support during this grueling journey. This is one of the most difficult bar exams in the world to undertake, especially alongside a full time job! So happy to help out any aspirant who may be reading this message! I had prepared from the University of Law SQE Manuals and the AI powered MCQ bank from PastPaperHero.
