Topic 6: Where to Find Past MEEs (for free!)

Where to Find Past MEEs (for free!)

Here, we have a list of past Multistate Essay Exam (MEE) questions and answers. Many of these are free resources. We list some options of where you can find past MEEs for purchase at the end of the page.

Note that the first resource we have is past MEEs with answers promulgated by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE). This is an excellent resource because it gives you a breakdown of exactly how the Examiners envision you answering the question as well as how much each portion of the question is worth (e.g., issue one is worth 20%, issue two is worth 50%, etc.). We also list additional sources for questions with Examiners’ analyses available for purchase at the bottom of the post.  

The other resources (from New York, Arkansas, and Minnesota) have the questions and representative student answers. These are still useful resources but sometimes student answers are not wholly correct so it is not wise to solely rely on them.
