Also reported for the MBE will be local (State of California) and national percentile rank information, which indicates the percentile rank for your performance in the seven MBE content areas and the MBE total score. For example, if 80.4 is listed after Civil Procedure, this means that you scored higher than 80 percent of all examinees who took this bar examination (nationally) on the civil procedure questions; only 19.6 percent received a score above yours.  \nIf you took the Attorneys’ Exam, you will be able to view the following information through your Applicant Portal: the raw scores for your answers to the five essay questions and the one PT, your total raw and scale written scores, and your total scaled score.  \nIf you participated in the November 2024 bar exam study and answered at least 28 of the 49 multiple-choice questions correctly, a scale score adjustment of 40 points was applied to the multiple-choice section of your General Bar Exam. This adjustment translates to a 20-point increase in your total scaled score. The adjusted scale score was used to calculate the final total score reflected in your result letter. The score adjustment is applied only to your first attempt atthe General Bar Exam since the November 2024 bar exam study. Emails are sent the same day that results are released to those who received this scale score adjustment.  \nTo pass the exam, an applicant must have a total scaled score of at least 1390 out of a possible 2000 points.  \nYour written scores for each question are reflected by reference to the following question numbers:  \n• Question 1: Real Property  \n• Question 2: Contracts  \n• Question 3: Professional Responsibility  \n• Question 4: Civil Procedure  \n• Question 5: Community Property  \n• Question 6 (PT): Write Brief in Support of Client’s Motion – Evidence  \nSCALING INFORMATION  \nThe State Bar’s Committee of Bar Examiners uses a scoring procedure designed to ensure the level of difficulty of the exam remains consistent with previous administrations of the exam. The statistical technique, called scaling, converts scores on the written section to the same units of measurement used for the MBE scale score. This adjusts for possible differences in average question difficulty and grading across different administrations of the exam. This adjustment is used to ensure that an applicant’s likelihood of passing is not affected by any variation across administrations.  \nOn the written section of the exam, applicants could achieve a maximum of 700 points. An applicant could earn up to 100 raw points on each of the five essay questions and on the PT. The grade on the PT is doubled in the calculation of the total raw written points. The raw written score is translated to the 2000-point MBE scale using the formula described below. An applicant’s total scaled score is the scale MBE score multiplied by .50 plus the written scale score multiplied by .50.  \nAttorney applicants who took the Attorneys’ Exam have their scores on the written section placed on the same scale of measurement used for the General Bar Exam, but, as they are exempt from the MBE, their pass/fail status is based solely on the written section.  \nCalculate Your Written Scale Score  \nDouble the assigned PT grade and add the resulting value to the sum of your five","cbCaikqgxCEvZPnp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikqgxCEvZPnp","pdf",254224,"English","# Grade Information\n## Access to Examination Answers\n# Scaling Information\n## Calculate Your Written Scale Score\n# Phased Grading\n# Practical Training of Law Students—Termination of Certification","[{\"question\":\"What grade information can unsuccessful General Bar Exam applicants view in the Applicant Portal?\",\"answer\":\"They can view raw written scores for five essay questions and one performance test, total raw and scale written scores, the MBE scale score, and the combined total scaled score, plus MBE percentile rank information by content area.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the written scale score calculated for the General Bar Exam?\",\"answer\":\"Double the assigned PT grade, add it to the sum of the five raw essay grades to get the raw written score, then use: Written scale score = (Raw written score x 4.0700) - 399.0100.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the passing requirements under phased grading?\",\"answer\":\"After one reading, a total scaled score of at least 1390 out of 2000 passes; below 1350 fails.
