Bar Exam Prep (UBE) — MBE Practice Readiness Test

10 questions, balanced across the exam's topics. Answer each one, then submit for your practice readiness estimate and per-topic breakdown. This is a practice estimate — not a prediction or guarantee of your official exam result.

Question 1

An attorney files an answer that is denying facts counsel knows are true. Under Rule 11, sanctions are proper if:

The client is unhappy. The judge disagrees with the argument. The filing lost the case. The filing was not warranted by existing law or a nonfrivolous argument, or lacked evidentiary support, judged objectively at filing.

Question 2

Sam seeks child support from Priya for their daughter. Courts generally set support using:

The noncustodial parent's generosity. Whatever the custodial parent requests. Statutory guidelines based on parental incomes, custody time, and the child's needs, deviating only for stated reasons. A flat $500 per month.

Question 3

Sam orally agrees to sell Elena restaurant freezers for $9,000. Elena later denies the deal and Sam sues. Sam has no writing, but Elena admits in a deposition that they made the oral deal. What is the likely result?

Sam loses, because the UCC requires a signed writing in all cases. Sam wins, because partial performance always removes goods contracts from the statute. Sam loses, because oral contracts for goods over $500 are void. Sam wins, because Elena's admission in court satisfies the statute of frauds.

Question 4

A bystander testifies: 'The driver ran the red light.' Offered to prove the driver ran the red light, the testimony is:

Not hearsay, because the declarant is available. Hearsay only if written. Not hearsay, because it was said in court. Hearsay, because it is an out-of-court statement offered for its truth.

Question 5

Shareholders approved in advance. The decision was unanimous. The decision was profitable. They acted in good faith, without conflicts, on an informed basis, with a rational belief the decision served the corporation.

Question 6

Maya conveys 'to Daniel for life, then to Daniel's grandchildren who reach 25.' Under the Rule Against Perpetuities, the grandchildren's interest is:

Void only if no grandchild is alive now. Valid, because grandchildren are lives in being. Void, because it might vest beyond lives in being plus 21 years (an after-born grandchild could reach 25 more than 21 years after all lives in being die). Valid, because the Rule applies only to personal property.

Question 7

Maya's will leaves 'my car to whoever is my housekeeper at my death.' The gift is valid under acts of independent significance because:

The beneficiary is identified by lifetime acts with independent significance apart from the will. The executor decides. It is a holographic will. Wills cannot reference outside facts.

Question 8

Landlord's liens automatically. Tort claims. Only real estate mortgages. Consensual security interests in personal property and fixtures securing obligations.

Question 9

Wins, because intent transfers and battery requires only intent to cause harmful or offensive contact. Loses, because no injury is described. Wins only if a neighbor was seriously hurt. Loses, because Sam intended to hit someone else.

Question 10

Maya faces a preliminary hearing without counsel and without a valid waiver. The Sixth Amendment right to counsel:

Applies only if the defendant is indigent. Applies only at trial, so no violation occurred. Attaches at the initiation of adversarial proceedings and applies at all critical stages, including a preliminary hearing. Never applies to misdemeanors.
