Question 2

Which jurisdictions use the MBE?

Adam Balinski · Accepted Answer

As of July 2026, the MBE is no longer mostly universal: ten jurisdictions — Connecticut, Guam, Idaho, Maryland, Missouri, Northern Mariana Islands, Oregon, Palau, Virgin Islands, and Washington — have switched to the NextGen UBE and no longer administer it. Of the remaining jurisdictions, all administer the MBE except Louisiana and Puerto Rico. More jurisdictions will drop the MBE as they transition to the NextGen UBE in 2027 and 2028, and the MBE — along with the MEE and MPT — is expected to be phased out entirely alongside the legacy UBE, though the final sunset timeline is still subject to change.

If your jurisdiction has already moved to the NextGen UBE, or if you’re planning on practicing in Louisiana or Puerto Rico, you may still be interested in purchasing individual audio and written outlines for the subjects that you struggle with to supplement a course more catered to your jurisdiction’s exam.
