The Illinois module, the third state beyond New York, after Texas.
Illinois is the third state instantiated from the shared UBE template — the same MBE bank, MEE outlines, MPT workspace, and study-guide library, re-tuned for the Illinois Supreme Court, the Illinois Board of Admissions to the Bar (IBAB) under Rule 7, and the Feb 2027 administration.
The single-state purchase matches California, Florida, Louisiana, New York, and Texas at $499 one-time — a deliberate parity that keeps the per-state cost obvious while the UBE bundle rolls out one state at a time.

Module pieces
Four pieces, IL overlay.
The Illinois module mirrors the four-piece shape California, Florida, Louisiana, New York, and Texas shipped with — an MBE bank, MEE outlines with an Illinois doctrine overlay, an MPT workspace, and the study-guide library. Each piece is reachable inside the dashboard the moment the access pass unlocks.

Illinois module · FAQ
The four questions Illinois candidates ask us.
These are the questions candidates ask before purchase — how the module differs from a generic UBE prep, when the next administration is, the transfer rule, and what the $499 covers.
How does the Illinois module differ from a generic UBE prep?
The MBE bank, MEE fact patterns, and MPT scaffolds are a single shared UBE catalogue — what the Illinois module adds is the IL-specific overlay: the eligibility pathways under Illinois Supreme Court Rule 7(A) (JD from an ABA-approved law school, or one year at an ABA-approved U.S. law school for LLM candidates), the UBE transfer pathway under Rule 7(B) (266+ within 3 years), the MPRE (≥80) as a pre-sitting prerequisite under Rule 7(A)(4), and the Illinois doctrine the MEE graders are reading for — IBCA in Corporations (805 ILCS 5/), Illinois Probate Act in Wills (755 ILCS 5/), Illinois Marriage & Dissolution of Marriage Act in Family Law (750 ILCS 5/), and Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law in Real Property (735 ILCS 5/Art. XV). The module ships those overlays inline, plus a character & fitness disclosure guide (10 years under Rule 7(A)(9)) and the transfer-window playbook for an out-of-state UBE.
When is the next IL UBE administration?
The Feb 2027 IL UBE is administered on 2027-02-23 (Tue) / 2027-02-24 (Wed). The Illinois Board of Admissions to the Bar (IBAB) posts the application window about four months ahead (early October 2026 for the Feb 2027 cycle) and the late-filing fees climb sharply after the priority deadline (~60 days ahead). The July 2027 cycle follows on 2027-07-27 / 2027-07-28.
Can I transfer a UBE score into Illinois?
Yes — Illinois accepts a transferred UBE score of 266 or higher earned in another UBE jurisdiction within the prior three years. (Illinois Supreme Court Rule 7(B).) A transfer candidate still must satisfy IBAB character & fitness review under Rule 7(A)(9) (10-year disclosure for every civil and criminal matter) and meet the MPRE requirement (≥80) before admission. The MPRE must be passed BEFORE sitting for the UBE, per Rule 7(A)(4) — so plan the MPRE well ahead of the UBE sitting, not the week before.
What does the $499 access pass include?
The MBE bank, the MEE outlines (with IL overlay across IBCA, Illinois Probate Act, Illinois Marriage & Dissolution of Marriage Act, and Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law), the MPT workspace with IL libraries, the full study-guide library, the 90-day paced calendar anchored to a Mon 2026-11-23 start, and AI-graded essay submissions against the MEE rubric. One purchase, no subscription, no second SKU — the $499 access pass unlocks the Illinois bundle end-to-end.
