How do the UBE vocabulary games work?
There are 4 games built on 20 UBE 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 UBE 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.
What is the UBE pass rate?
The overall UBE pass rate is approximately 61% (2024 NCBE statistics), though this varies significantly by jurisdiction and administration. First-time takers from ABA-accredited law schools pass at much higher rates (over 80% in recent July administrations). The most common minimum passing score is 270 out of 400. With thorough preparation of 400-600 hours, you can significantly improve your chances of passing on the first attempt.
How is the UBE scored?
The UBE is scored on a 400-point scale. The MBE (200 multiple-choice questions) accounts for 50% of your score. The MEE (6 essays) accounts for 30%, and the MPT (2 performance tasks) accounts for 20%. Each jurisdiction sets its own minimum passing score, typically between 260 and 270. Your UBE score is portable to other UBE jurisdictions.
