The UBE consists of three components: the MBE (Option A), MEE (Option B), and MPT (Option C). The MPRE (Option D) is a separate exam that is required for admission to the bar in Arkansas but is not part of the UBE itself.
The MBE consists of 200 multiple-choice questions, administered in two sessions of 100 questions each. This section is a significant portion of the UBE, contributing 50% of the total score.
The MEE consists of six essay questions. These questions are designed to test the applicant's ability to analyze legal issues and communicate effectively in writing.
In the UBE format used by Arkansas, the MBE is worth 50% of the total score, the MEE accounts for 30%, and the MPT accounts for 20%.
