The first UBE administration will be in February 2019. The format of the Rhode Island bar examination will consist of two MPT tasks, six MEE questions, and the MBE. Rhode Island will not require a jurisdiction-specific component.

The new daily schedule for standard test takers will be as follows:
Tuesday: MPT (two tasks, 3 hours), MEE (six essays, 3 hours)
