Which Jurisdictions Administer the UBE, MEE, and MPT?

Wondering which jurisdictions administer the UBE, MEE, and MPT? The UBE stands for the Uniform Bar Exam. It is composed of the multistate bar exam (called the MBE which is a 200-question multiple-choice exam), the Multistate Essay Exam (called the MEE which is a six-question essay test), and a Multistate Performance Test (an MPT, a three-hour task designed to test lawyerly skills).
