The exam is mapped — every skill, subject, and format the NextGen UBE tests. Your practice adjusts to what needs work, so you spend time where it counts.
NextGen Bar Prep is practice-driven bar exam preparation built for the July 2026 NextGen Uniform Bar Examination, in collaboration with Studicata. The NextGen UBE is the most significant redesign of the bar exam in a generation. The National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) restructured the test around the 7 Foundational Skills and 28 Foundational Tasks that actually matter in practice — legal research, legal writing, analysis, client counseling, negotiation, investigation, and the skill of applying rules to facts under time pressure. The exam itself is delivered in three formats with known weights: Multiple Choice Questions make up 49% of the score, Integrated Question Sets make up 21%, and Performance Tasks make up 30%. Our coverage maps to every one of those skills, tasks, and formats — nothing hidden, nothing overweighted. Rather than a fixed daily schedule that assumes every student starts at the same place, every session adjusts to what you need next. Miss a hearsay question and your next session includes more hearsay in a different fact pattern. Get something right under timed pressure and it recedes. Skill diagnostics give you a plain-language picture of which skills are reliable, which are still settling, and which have not had enough practice — so direction comes from the work itself, not from a dashboard you have to interpret. Full-length exam simulations mirror the NCBE format under realistic timing, so the rhythm of exam day feels familiar when it arrives. The collaboration with Studicata brings trusted bar content together with the practice layer that tells you where your time actually needs to go. If you are already using JD Simplified during law school, NextGen builds on the practice you have already been doing — no cold start, no generic plan.
