Every administration we hear some students say they thought the MBE (Multistate Bar Exam) was harder than they anticipated. Whether they took the bar exam before or just practiced with past, real questions, there are many reasons students may think one exam is harder. Sometimes law schools will even say with certainty that a test administration was harder than another in the past. So in this post, we explore the question: is the MBE harder now than it used to be? In doing so, we’ll examine various factors associated with the MBE and how you can prepare so the exam doesn’t feel so difficult!

Students are tasked with picking the best answer. In short, one answer can be more correct than another answer. In order to help you succeed on the MBE portion of the Bar Exam, check out our MBE process of elimination tips below (and review the highly tested MBE subjects here!).

Sometimes, it’s helpful to think about how many questions you can miss on the MBE and still get a passing score.
