Podcast Episode 53: What to Do if Your Jurisdiction is Adopting the UBE

Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! As we are seeing more and more jurisdictions switch to the UBE instead of a state-specific bar exam, many bar takers are being put in the position of taking a new bar exam, even if they are repeat takers. So, what does this mean for folks taking the UBE for the first time?

In this episode we discuss:

• Is it a good thing if your jurisdiction is switching to the Uniform Bar Examination?
• Resources where you can learn more about the UBE
• The importance of finding out what is the same and what is different in the UBE and state-specific exams, and building on the knowledge you already have
• How to do focused practice and get feedback on your writing style
• Should you forum shop?
