8 multiple-choice questions and 6 flashcards on Family Law, about 3% of the UBE bank. Every one carries a written rationale.
Family Law is one of 16 chapters in CoStudy's UBE — Uniform Bar Examination bank, and it holds 8 of the bank's 301 multiple-choice questions — roughly 3% of the total. That proportion is not arbitrary: chapters follow the certifying body's published exam outline, and the number of questions in each is set by that domain's published weight, so the share of your practice time this chapter takes matches the share of the real exam it accounts for.
Studying by chapter is worth doing once you have a diagnostic score. A single overall percentage tells you whether you are close; it does not tell you which domain is dragging. Working a weak chapter in isolation, and re-testing it in isolation, is the fastest way to move a score that has stalled — and it is why the mock exams in CoStudy report by domain rather than as one number.
1 questions drawn from this chapter, with the full rationale shown — the controlling principle behind the right answer, and why each wrong option tempts and fails.
