Today I am welcoming Brittany  \nRaposa, one of our tutors at the Bar Exam Toolbox, and also the Director & Professor of Bar Support at Roger Williams University's School of Law.  \nToday, we're going to be chatting about the MPRE. Your Bar Exam Toolbox hosts are Alison Monahan and Lee Burgess, that's me. We're here to demystify the bar exam experience so you can study effectively, stay sane, and hopefully pass and move on with your life.  \nWe're the co-creators of the Law School Toolbox, the Bar Exam Toolbox, and the career related website CareerDicta. Alison also runs The Girl's Guide to Law School. If you enjoy the show, please leave a review on your favorite listening app and check out our sister podcast, the Law School Toolbox podcast. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us. You can reach us via the contact form on [BarExamToolbox.com](BarExamToolbox.com), and we'd love to hear from you. And with that, let's get started.  \nWelcome back. Today, we're discussing MPRE preparation with special guest, Brittany Raposa. Brittany is one of our bar exam and law school tutors, and currently teaches bar prep and legal ethics, so we're excited to have her here today to talk about the MPRE. So to get things kicked off, Brittany, can you give us a basic rundown of what the MPRE actually is?  \nBrittany Raposa: Sure. So the MPRE is a 60-question, two-hour exam, and it stands for the  \nMultistate Professional Responsibility Exam. So that's just testing the professional model rules and judicial ethics, and then some evidence and civil procedure issues that are related to professional responsibility.  \nLee Burgess: And so, does everyone have to take this test?  \nBrittany Raposa: So, everyone should take it. In most jurisdictions, before you sit for the bar, you  \nhave to pass the MPRE. And when I say pass the MPRE, passing means that you just get the required score for the jurisdiction that you want to take the bar in. So for example, if you were going to sit in Massachusetts, you need an 85 on the MPRE before even applying to sit for the bar. In some jurisdictions, you don't have to have passed it prior to sitting for the bar, but you have to pass it sometime after. New York, for example, is one of those jurisdictions. So in New York, you don't have to get an 85 before even taking the test, but you do need to get it within a certain number of years after taking the test.  \nLee Burgess: And do most people take it during law school, or do most people take it after  \nthe bar exam?  \nBrittany Raposa: So most people take it during law school, and I would definitely recommend  \nthat everyone do take it during law school. So you take Professional Responsibility; in most law schools, it's a required course. If it's not a required course, it's still good to take for MPRE preparation. And while the information is still fresh and right after your PR course, it's really good to take the MPRE while still in law school.  \nLee Burgess: Yeah. And I think it's usually offered in March, August, and November.  \nBrittany Raposa: Yes, it's offered three times a year.  \nLee Burgess: Okay. So often times, I'll have people ask me like, \"Shouldn't I just take the  \nAugust one, right after the bar?\" Because it's usually about two or three weeks, if that, even after the bar exam. And I think that if that's the situation you end up in, that's okay; but you're pretty tired after the bar. I think most people don't want to study for another multiple choice test.  \nBrittany Raposa: Yeah, especially the MPRE is definitely a little different than the bar, but after  \nyou're kind of burned out from 200 multiple choice questions and a full day of written testing, the last thing, I think, students want to do is study for the MPRE and take a two-hour multiple choice exam.  \nLee Burgess: Yeah. I also think that if you are planning on getting licensed...
