NextGen UBE practice · Free, no account
Three real questions, then a graded answer. Membership is $199 through August 31, then it rises to $399.
Try it before you pay.
Here are three questions from our bank, in the formats the exam uses, scored the way the exam scores them.
You’ll work them the same way members do on the bench. That’s our name for the practice app that comes with membership: the question bank, the sets, the tasks, the grader, and your record, in one place. Answer each one, say how sure you were, and read the explanation for every option, right or wrong. There’s nothing to sign up for and nothing to install.
The questionSelect-two, scored 2 / 1 / 0
Moments after a loud collision at an intersection, a bystander shouted, “That truck ran the red light!” A witness who heard the shout will testify to it; the bystander cannot be located. You anticipate a hearsay objection.
Which of the following legal topics are the most important for you to research to determine admissibility?
Select two.
One right pick still earns a point, which is why you never leave a select-two blank.
Keys: excited utterance and present sense impression. A startled shout describing an event as it happens fits both exceptions at once: it comes out under the stress of the moment, and it describes the event as it is happening. Either can carry the statement in. Dying declaration fails on every element. The best evidence rule only governs writings, not shouts, and neither privilege nor habit has any footing here.
The one line to remember: the missing bystander is a red herring. Neither exception requires the person who spoke to be unavailable.
Every question in the bank comes like this: an original fact pattern, wrong options written to be near misses on purpose, an explanation for every option, and one line to remember it by. These three stay free for good. The other 527 are on the bench.
Then write an answer and watch it get graded
Multiple choice is only part of the exam; roughly a third of your score is written work. Below is a task from one of our integrated sets, the format where one client’s case unfolds over several linked questions. You read the file, find two facts that support the argument, and write them down. The AI grader then marks your answer point by point and quotes your own words to show why.
Performance tasks alone are roughly a third of your score, and the integrated sets add short and medium written answers on top of that. Written work is where it’s easiest to fool yourself: you read a model answer, nod along, and it feels as if you could have written it.
So here is a real grade from the grader members use. One point was given, and the grader quoted the writer’s own words to show why. The other point was refused, and the reason is written out where you can read it.
Unedited, from the same grader members use.

The task: identify two specific facts supporting that the deposit retention is presumptively an unenforceable penalty.
The answer as written, with the grader’s marks“The retained deposit is $12,000 on a $30,000 contract, 40% of the price, far above the fifteen percent threshold, so retention is presumptively an unenforceable penalty under 14-2-7(c). Second, Silver Fir Hall made no effort to rebook the date, so it cannot claim mitigation offsets under subsection (d).”
CreditedRefusedThe grader’s marks, on the answer’s own words.
First item matches representative answer 1: “40% of the price, far above the fifteen percent threshold.”
The second item, “Silver Fir Hall made no effort to rebook the date, so it cannot claim mitigation offsets,” is not among the representative answers (which credit the 75-day advance notice/rebooking window, the all-cancellations forfeiture clause, or the 40% figure), and asserts a fact about the venue’s conduct rather than the timing of cancellation.
The app puts it this way: “AI grading is assistive, not authoritative. The rubric is.” On integrated sets and performance tasks you can enter your own score here. Yours replaces the model’s in every total after that, and the change is recorded.
Now you. Same task, one rule: the 40% figure has already earned its point above, so it won’t count again. The file below holds at least two more facts the grader will credit. Find them, write your answer, and the grader comes back with your score and its reasons. Your graded answer and our report on the first exam follow by email.
- $30,000 contract; $12,000 deposit paid at signing: 40% of the price.
- Kestrel canceled in writing seventy-five days before the event date.
- Clause 9: on any cancellation, for any reason, at any time, all deposits are forfeited in their entirety.
- § 14-2-7(b)–(c): retention must be a reasonable forecast of hard-to-estimate harm; above fifteen percent of the contract price is presumptively a penalty.
One graded answer per email address. It’s graded exactly the way members’ answers are graded, and members get unlimited grading on every written answer.
If those three were useful, there are 530 of them on the bench, plus eighteen integrated sets and twelve timed writing tasks, every one explained and graded the way you just saw. Founding membership is $199, one payment, everything through the July 2028 exam.
