The MEE Course

Below our MBE course, you'll find our MEE course, and we start with the general introduction to what the MEE is. That's the Multistate Essay Exam. And then we dive into the subject-specific units. Now, as a reminder, the MEE is worth 30% of your UBE and it covers 12 different subjects: all of the subjects covered by the MBE and five additional subjects.

And also unlike the MBE, this is an essay exam, right? It's not a multiple-choice test, it's an essay exam. The lessons we have on the legal subjects on the MEE are very practical, telling you how to approach the specific subject. You can kind of see the structure of these lessons.

For Con Law, the professor will walk you through three actual MEE prompts, right? They're fairly recent, from 2020, 2018, 2017. The first lesson will be about the facts, second will be analysis, and then the professor goes over to actual essays from actual bar examinees who passed.

So here you can find the prompt itself, download a PDF form if you want. We encourage you to read this and think about it yourself before listening to the professor discuss the facts, right, discuss the facts and discuss these questions. Okay, the next lesson after that, again, repeated is the prompt. The professor talks about how to go about answering, right? How to structure the substance and the form of your essay.

And then the last two lessons related to the July 2017 question is actual essays, right? Excellent essay. This is a real bar examiner's essay, and the professor critiques it, talks about what's good, what you should emulate, talks about what perhaps could have been better, or maybe where he or she wasted some time. The point is to extract some dos and don'ts for you for test day. Okay, and here's another one.

At the end of each unit, so again, Con Law, for example, we include two practice essays. These are meant for you to actually do them. So let's take a look at what they look like. Practice essay number 1, you want to start the timer, start reading the prompt, and jot down your essay over here.

And when you're done, the next lesson gives you a rubric so you can grade yourself, right? Tells you, like, did you pick up this? If you did, give yourself 10 points. What about this? Give yourself 10 points, and so on. And, of course, you can listen to the professor analyze the prompt.

So for the subjects that don't appear on the MBE, remember, I mentioned that there were a few on the MEE only, like conflict of laws, for example, you'll see that the unit starts with a couple of flyover lessons. These are just short lessons meant to tell you just what you need to know to scrape out a passing score, right? Like our philosophy is that you shouldn't have to memorize everything, just enough to pass.

So that's the point of these lessons. And we actually think that if you get a hundred percent on the MEE, you've done something wrong. You probably spent too much time studying.
