Questions are edited by the drafting committee, pretested, analyzed independently by outside experts and members of the MEE Policy Committee, and reviewed by the boards of bar examiners in the states which use the test. Finally, the test is revised by the drafting committee. Every MEE question is accompanied by an analysis for use by the states in grading the test. The analysis identifies the issues raised by the question, cites appropriate authority, and indicates suggested weights for discussion of the issues. The MEE may be answered according to the law of general application, or it can also be graded according to state law.
Every administration is accompanied by a grading workshop.
The National Conference of Bar Examiners sponsors a grading workshop on the weekend following test administration. Graders for each question meet to review the analysis and sample answers to the question. Revisions to the analyses are sent to each state immediately following the grading workshop.
