MBE Practice Test 2026 — Free MBE Exam Prep Questions
The MBE is the 200-question multiple-choice day of the legacy bar exam, used by most U.S. jurisdictions until they move to the NextGen bar exam. It covers seven subjects: Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law, Contracts, Criminal Law and Procedure, Evidence, Real Property and Torts. Our practice items are original fact patterns mapped to NCBE's subject matter outline, and every answer choice is explained.
A cyclist sued a driver after a collision. The jury found the cyclist's damages to be $200,000, and assigned 60% of the fault to the cyclist and 40% to the driver. The jurisdiction follows pure comparative fault. How much will the cyclist recover?
