What Is the Uniform Bar Examination?

The Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) is a standardised two-day bar exam administered in 41 US jurisdictions, testing legal knowledge, analysis, and professional skills through three components: the MBE, MEE, and MPT.

A UBE score is portable — pass in one jurisdiction and you can transfer your score to any other UBE state without retaking the exam, making it the most flexible bar exam option available.
