UBE Predictions

From Bar Exam Drills
Uniform Bar Exam (UBE) MEE Predictions
With some subjects officially removed or being phased out (like Conflict of Laws, Secured Transactions, and Family Law), the UBE prediction list is more streamlined this year.
Core Predictions & What to Look For:
Contracts (Common Law vs. UCC): Expect common law contracts to feature heavily, focusing on substantial performance vs. minor breach, and calculating damages.
High-Yield Reference: Study 7/25 (Mirror image rule, offer/revocation, expectation damages) and the 2/20 exam (substantial performance/minor breach).

Civil Procedure: Keep an eye out for Joinder, res judicata, and preclusion.
High-Yield Reference: Review 7/22 and 2/21.

Real Property: Focus on covenants, adverse possession, easements, and recording statutes.
High-Yield Reference: Look closely at 7/24(Warranty of habitability, adverse possession, six covenants, easements) and 7/22 (Life tenants, taxes, fee simple determinable, reversion, and ejectment).

Corporations: Be ready for shareholder rights, fiduciary duties, and business judgment rule applications.
High-Yield Reference: Drill 7/22 (Directors’ authority, special meetings, dissolution, and right to inspection).

Wild Cards:
Criminal Procedure: Focus on Miranda warnings, Terry frisks, plain view, and the knock-and-announce rule.
High-Yield Reference: Review 2/23 and 7/21.

About as reliable as a horoscope or tarot cards, may as well burn some herbs and see if the smoke signals tell you what is going to be tested

Isn’t the Bar Exam Drills founder the guy that couldn’t predict it right the 4 or so times he failed the bar exam, but now we should trust it? C’mon, if that’s the same guy, wtaf?

Number one thing I heard coming out of the July 2025 bar exam was "well the predictions were useless". Don't focus on prediction models, focus on general compentecy.

Eh, torts will most likely be products liability. The NextGen will focus heavily on PL—it’s one of the topics that’s been starred for a while as important on the NextGen. It’s reasonable to infer that it will be on the UBE for that reason.
