MBE Frequency Chart (and Coverage Calculator)

💡 Just 3 areas of the MBE account for over 21% of your score.

Are you paying attention to higher-frequency topics? Or maybe you’re spending too much time on topics that only take up a small number of MBE questions?

Below is an interactive MBE frequency chart, divided into four categories: top-priority topics (21%), high-priority topics, medium-priority topics, and lower-priority topics, broken down based on the official NCBE subject-matter outline. Sample questions illustrate what these topics and subtopics test. (In progress. More resources and notes below the chart.)

Check off what you know to see exactly where you stand on coverage.
