Glad I found this site. The explanations and cited cases is a huge plus. I think that they are good sharpening analytical skills. Keep up the good work here! ~ Jacqueline

First allow me to say that you guys are awesome, and I greatly appreciate your bar-prep site. I am currently a paralegal student, and have always wanted to know how I would perform on the bar multi choice section. Your site has given me that opportunity, and I am pleasantly surprised with most of my test scores (70’s -- 90’s), depending on whether I have had a course in a particular test area. Even mistaken answers become learning tools due to your highly instructive and nicely detailed answer sections. I have recommended your site to an attorney who has moved here from another state, and is now preparing for the Maryland Bar Exam. I can not thank you guys enough for your efforts in creating your site, I am very pleased with the level of confidence I have found in myself, by getting the number of correct answers as I have so far. Always wanted to know, and you guys are providing the challenge. Thanks, and please keep the questions coming. Best Regards, Bill Bennett ~ William Bennett, Maryland

This was very helpful. One of my classmates recommended this to me. He got 100% on the practice MBE’s in class last night and credits this page for it. ~ Ellen Fawl, California

Barprephero is fantastic. This gave me the inspiration to further my research in law. Thanks! ~ Edwin Vargas

I’ve written several books on bar preparation in my “In-Brief” series currently selling on Amazon. While writing the books, I received advice from a psychologist who told me that stories are easier to remember than rules. So for each tested bar topic, I included a case that reflects a story relating to the rule. BarPrepHero is the only test site that I have participated in which explains virtually all of its answers with a related case, and as such provides a mechanism for retaining rules through stories. Five stars in my book! ~ Glenn Riser, Juris Doctor Graduate at Florida Coastal School of Law

This is a great introductory MBE study tool. I have taken and passed the California bar exam previously and I am studying for the Tennessee bar exam currently. I feel that the questions provided are not as difficult as the actual MBE questions on the exam, but they are an excellent refresher and a wonderful study aid. ~ Chrystine Carvalho, TN

Some of these I recognize from actual cases I read in Crim Law!! Love it! ~ Jessica Stone-Erdman, NC

Fantastic prep for Evidence final. Thank you! ~ Anton Yatsenko

You know you’ve crossed the line into full on bar prep nerddom when you get excited about finding free MBE practice!~ Susan Zucco

What is taking the Bar Exam really like?


2 Days
The Bar exam spans over a period of two days. Day one is dedicated to the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), while the second day focuses on both the state-specific queries alongside the Multistate Performance Test (MPT), which is not mandatory in every jurisdiction.
3 Parts
The exam itself is divided into three distinct sections: the MBE, the state-determined questions, and the MPT, which includes two tasks that each last 90 minutes.
Twice Per Year
The Bar exam schedule is biannual, taking place on the final Wednesday of February and July. The MPT, where it's a requirement, occurs the preceding Tuesday of the same week in both months.

Bar Admission Process: How the Bar Exam Is Administered

Photos from Bar Examinations across the country

Bar Exam Day One:
the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE)

All states and territories except Louisiana and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico subscribe to the Multistate Bar Exam (MBE), which is a standardized set of 200 multiple-choice questions usually taken on the first day of the state bar examination. The National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) prepares the test questions.
2 Sessions (Morning and Afternoon)
The questions are administered in two sessions: 100 questions in the morning session and the remaining 100 questions in the afternoon session.
200 Multiple-Choice Questions
To answer the question, you must resolve a legal issue involving those facts. There are four possible answers; you must choose the best answer under the given circumstances.
Covers 7 Areas Of The Law
The MBE covers constitutional law, real property and torts, criminal law and procedure, civil procedure, evidence, and contracts. There are four possible answers.
The MBE instructions tell you to apply fundamental legal principles that are typically accepted in that area of the law. The questions are set up to test your ability to select the best answer from several possibilities. Thus, the MBE tests your knowledge and ability to apply the broad legal principles of our body of jurisprudence to legal issues. The ability to take a legal issue that arises in a factual context and apply the relevant legal concepts is basic to an attorney's legal reasoning skills. The MBE questions evaluate and test your ability to think like a lawyer and conduct legal problem-solving in a focused manner.

Bar Exam Day Two:
State-Specific Law Questions

During the second day of the bar examination, states and territories administer other questions that are usually more specific to each state's laws. Law students taking the bar exam should expect CA-specific questions on Day Two of the California Bar exam, questions related to the practice of law in South Dakota on the SD Bar exam, etc. Fun fact: the California Bar Exam is notoriously difficult and has the lowest passage rate of any bar exam in the country. It is even ranked as one of the most challenging law exams in the world.
These questions include a substantial number of essay questions that are based on hypothetical situations. You will be asked to resolve the issues raised in each hypothetical situation by supplying an answer in the form of an essay. This legal problem-solving process is what attorneys do on a daily basis. The purpose of these questions is to test your practical understanding of how the law works and how it may be applied to a client's situation to arrive at a resolution. Some states require standardized essay questions and other standardized test questions on the second day of the bar examination. This testing is prepared by the National Conference of Bar Examiners, the same organization that supplies the multiple-choice questions for the MBE.

BarPrepHero Premium offers the most complete collection of real bar exam questions licensed directly from NCBE (the organization that writes the exam).
REAL & Simulated Questions
BarPrepHero offers the best of both worlds: 1,300+ real questions from past exams plus 600+ questions written by our legal experts to cover the "blindspots" where official questions lack clarity or may have become outdated.
Detailed Rationales With Citations
We provide the student with a detailed explanation in support of the correct answer, including updated citations to applicable statutory and case law.
Most US law schools only teach common law, but they do not prepare law students for any particular bar exam. Just a few law schools offer bar review courses or bar preparation programs. Bar Prep Hero is a bar review program with sample examinations that are designed to resemble as closely as possible the types of questions that will appear in the MBE. During their preparation for the exam, the students have the option to look up the citations to see how courts reasoned about similar cases. Because of our huge bank of real, officially licensed questions from past exams and this structured learning process, law students taking our bar preparation program have had great success in better understanding the bar exam questions, the answers, and the process of legal reasoning.
