The Multistate Essay Examination (MEE)  is a component of the Uniform Bar Examination. If you are taking the Georgia bar, and thus not the UBE, please refer to the Georgia Essays page for relevant information.

The MEE consists of six 30-minute questions. Developed by NCBE, the MEE is administered by user jurisdictions as part of the bar examination on the Tuesday before the last Wednesday in February and July of each year. 

The MEE is only one of a number of measures that a board of bar examiners may use in determining competence to practice. Each jurisdiction grades the MEE and determines its own policy with regard to the relative weight given to the MEE and other scores. Jurisdictions that administer the Uniform Bar Examination weight the MEE component 30%.

Instructions for taking the MEE can be found here .

The NCBE website has old MEE questions and analyses from July 2013 until February 2018 available for reference.

About the UBE

The Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) is coordinated by NCBE and is composed of the following components: 

  • the Multistate Essay Examination (MEE) , 
  • two  Multistate Performance Test (MPT)  tasks
  • the  Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) . 

It is uniformly administered, graded, and scored and results in a portable score that can be transferred to other UBE jurisdictions. 

Registration Information

Applicants register for the UBE by applying to a user jurisdiction for the bar exam. Applicants who have taken the UBE may transfer their UBE scores to seek admission in other UBE jurisdictions.

NCBE scores the MBE component of the UBE. Jurisdictions grade the MEE and MPT components. The MEE and MPT scores are scaled to the MBE and UBE total scores are calculated by NCBE. The MBE is weighted 50%, the MEE 30%, and the MPT 20%. UBE total scores are reported on a 400-point scale.

Examinees who take the UBE earn a portable score that can be transferred to seek admission in other UBE jurisdictions.
