Multiple-Choice Questions and Answers
The First-Year Law Students’ Examination multiple-choice questions (MCQs) presented on this page were originally released in 1984. It is important to acknowledge that it is no longer the standard practice of the State Bar to publish additional MCQs. These sample questions may still be helpful for preparing for the exam, as they are in the same style and cover the same subject areas that will be tested on the current exam. However, since they are over 40 years old, please note that these questions were not developed with the same cultural lens or with an eye toward elimination of bias like today’s exam.
