About the MBE Exam

How do the MBE vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 MBE terms. In Guess the Term, a clue describes one term and you have six tries to spell it, with green, yellow and gray letters showing how close you are. In Term Match, six terms appear as colored tiles; swap neighbors to line up three or more of the same term, and each match shows what the term means. In Term Pairs, twelve face-down cards hide six pairs of terms; flip two at a time to find each pair, and every pair you find shows what the term means. In Term Search, five terms hide in a grid of letters, reading across, down or diagonally; drag across a term to circle it, and each term you find shows what it means.
Where do the MBE terms come from?
OpenExamPrep researched each term from the NCBE content outline and primary sources, listed under Sources on this page. The game is independent study material, not an official exam resource.
How is the MBE structured?
The MBE is 200 multiple-choice questions administered in two 3-hour sessions on a single day — 100 questions in the morning and 100 in the afternoon. Of the 200 questions, 175 are scored (25 from each of 7 subjects) and 25 are unscored pretest items used by NCBE to calibrate future questions. You have an average of 1.8 minutes per question.
What subjects does the MBE test?
The MBE tests 7 subjects with 25 scored questions each: Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts (including UCC Article 2), Criminal Law and Procedure, Evidence (Federal Rules), Real Property, and Torts. About one-quarter of Contracts questions involve UCC Article 2 sales, and about half of Criminal Law and Procedure questions test constitutional criminal procedure under the 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments.
