Why should I look at past multistate essay exam (MEE) questions? 

It is worth it to look at past multistate essay exam questions for several reasons:

• First, it gives you exposure to highly-tested topics. You will find that the NCBE does not completely reinvent the wheel with every multistate essay exam that it rights. Rather, it retests topics that have been tested in the past. Not everything will be something that has been tested before, but much of it will. The more exams you review, the more exposure to highly-tested material you will have.
• Second, looking at past multistate essay exam questions and answers gives you practice structuring and formatting your essay answers. The more you practice, the more you will get used to structuring and formatting your essay answers.
• Lastly, looking at the answers helps you think like a grader. You will see that when you review the sample answers given by the NCBE, that the answers are organized by issue and to-the-point. Reviewing several past exams (along with their sample answers) can help you think like a grader and get into the mindset of a grader.
