MBE Tips and Best Supplements to Get

Ah yes, the MBE, everyone’s favorite multiple-guess section…

1.8 minutes per question for 6 hours
Paranoia from seeing seven C’s in a row on your answer sheet
50/50 choices that make you go, “Damn, what’s with this ultimate decision?”

Up to 50% of your bar exam score hangs on a series of letters. I don’t mean essays, which are also a series of letters.

Wow! Sounds important.

For some people, the MBE comes easily while the essays don’t. For some other people, the essays come very easily while the MBE seems impossible.

If neither is your strong suit (like it was for me)…then you’re out of luck.

Just kidding. It’s never over. If you lack the talent of high scores, develop the talent of grit instead.

While the MBE is a formidable portion of the bar, improving on it is figure-out-able.

So how do you improve your MBE score? Here are:

3 quick tactics you can try RIGHT NOW
3 study strategies for success on the MBE
How to implement these tactics and strategies

Scoring a 325 on the New York UBE as a 21-year-old Foreign Law Graduate

You’re going to hate me because I keep sharing ridiculous passer stories…

An international law graduate passed the July 2025 New York Bar Exam on her first try with a score of 325 (!) at just 21 years old (!!).

💬 “Here is my NY bar preparation journey (which I passed with a 325!). I wanted to come back and share my experience, as MTYLT definitely helped me throughout this journey.”

💬 “I have an LLB from England, and did an LLM in the US (took the exam at 21 and found out I passed at 22 – so for any young takers, do not let age deter you!). English is also not my first language (though I am proficient in it).”

A lot of my non-traditional passers are older, so I was absolutely delighted to hear from the other end of the age range.

I wouldn’t be your surrogate Asian dad if I didn’t hold you to impossible standards and draw out 125% of what you thought was your max power.

Have hard feelings toward me if you must. Come back with a passing story if you want to shut me up.

Passing the Bar Exam with a Brain Aneurysm (No Excuses)

It was like a curse. Monica had the deck stacked against her through ever since law school.

💬 “My law school was filled with health whirlwinds that no one could have prepared me for. My health was failing while in law school (like near death).”

💬 “I had registered to sit for the July 2022 bar exam, and to my surprise there were latent health conditions waiting to be revealed. Given the health surprises, I withdrew from the exam believing that I was going to prepare for February 2023. Unfortunately, I was bedridden with Covid and withdrew.”

💬 “I registered to take the February 2024 bar exam, and you guessed it. My Christmas present prior to February 2024 bar exam was a diagnosis of a brain aneurysm.”

💬 “After the February 2024 bar exam withdrawal, I thought okay now I should focus on July 2024, and I was having brain symptoms and physical symptoms that no doctor could explain, and yet again I withdrew.”

💬 “I studied and prepared for February 2025 UBE, and missed the threshold by 17 points. I thought I gave all I had on my first attempt, what else is there to give.”

Monica dealt with:

Almost dying through law school
Withdrawing because of health surprises
Withdrawing again because of COVID
Withdrawing again because of a brain aneurysm
Withdrawing again because of bodily symptoms
Finally taking the bar exam and failing when she gave it her all for her first attempt
Enduring the brain aneurysm while taking the bar the second time

Then she passed the July 2025 Texas Bar Exam on her second attempt with a 27-point improvement.

💬 “My husband was informed by the radiologist after an angiogram that he could not find the aneurysm that had been present from 2023-2025. That news (miracle) was provided a week before the bar results were released. On October 6^th, I opened an email to read ‘Congratulations you have passed the Texas UBE.”

Anything you want to be thankful for yet?

Almost Failing Law School to Passing the CA Bar Exam in One Shot

You don’t need to be a legal rockstar to pass the bar exam. Like me, Christian wasn’t the best student in law school.

💬 “I graduated from law school with a 3.08 GPA. My 1L year was extremely challenging for me, turning me from a student accustomed to receiving A’s in high school and undergrad to suddenly receiving my first D+ in Property Law. So needless to say, I was terrified at the idea of taking the California Bar Exam, notoriously known as the most difficult in the country.”

But we wouldn’t be here if we didn’t know the ending already.

Christian passed the July 2025 California Bar Exam on her first try. I’m not even surprised anymore. This is normal around here.

💬 “I’m so excited to share what helped me pass the CA Bar Exam on my first try. Reading these stories was so motivating for me, and I was so excited for the day I could write my own!”

Passing the Kentucky Bar Exam (UBE) with AuDHD on Her Third Attempt

Jessica passed the July 2025 Kentucky Bar Exam (UBE) on her third try.

💬 “Here’s a pretty good follow-up. I passed with a 269. Although that is one point away from 270, a pass is a pass. Kentucky requires a 266.”

💬 “I graduated near the bottom of my law school class, and one regret I have with the law school experience was not putting into practice questions a lot sooner than outlining.”

What happened on her first two attempts?

💬 “In my first two attempts, I was using Themis and was completely burnt out by the time I took the exam in both July 2024 and February 2025. I failed both attempts as a result.”

This is the same old story that fresh grads don’t hear about. A lesson that they won’t learn until they get burned personally. And then the cycle continues.

But good thing you’re here to stop that cycle for yourself.

What did Jessica do differently on her third attempt to make it successful?
