MPRE BASICS  \nWhat 's up with the MPRE? Here are the basic facts you need to know.  \nA. What  \nThe MPRE is a two-hour, 60-question multiple-choice exam that tests the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct ( MRPC), the ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct ( MCJC), and certain other ethics-related concepts, like attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine, malpractice liability, and Rule 11 sanctions. It 's administered by the National Conference of Bar Examiners ( NCBE) .  \n1. Scored v. pretest questions  \nFifty questions are scored and 10 are experimental,“pretest” questions that are not scored.  \n(The bar examiners are trying out the pretest questions for future versions of the exam.) You won’t be able to tell the pretest questions from the scored questions, so you should treat all of them as if they are real.  \n2. Four answer choices  \nEach question will have four answer choices.  \n3. Scoring  \nScores on the MPRE can range from 50 to 150.  \na. Passing scores  \nEach jurisdiction sets its own score required to pass. Currently, passing scores range from  \n75 to 86, with the majority of jurisdictions setting the bar between 80 and 85. The best resource for your jurisdiction’s requirements is going to be the state bar admissions agency. The NCBE’s website ([https://www.ncbex.org/exams/mpre/](https://www.ncbex.org/exams/mpre/)) offers recent information for each jurisdiction, but it’s not always up to date.  \nb. Equated scoring  \nJust like scores on the Multistate Bar Exam ( MBE), MPRE scores are “equated” or scaled to  \naccount for differences in difficulty between test administrations. That means if you take the MPRE in August and it’s harder than the one that was given in March, your score will be adjusted so that you’re on an equal playing field with the March examinees. It also means that the number of right answers you need to get a particular score changes from exam to exam.  \nc. If in doubt, guess  \nYour score is based on the number of questions you get right. The MPRE doesn’t penalize wrong answers, so you should make sure you select an answer choice for every question, even if you have to guess.  \nB. Why  \nAs of 2022, every state and territory except Wisconsin and Puerto Rico requires the MPRE for bar admission. Connecticut and New Jersey also accept evidence that an applicant completed a professional responsibility course in law school as a substitute for the MPRE.  \nC. When  \nThe MPRE is generally offered in March, August, and November. You’ll have two days in each month to choose from. The 2022 dates are March 23 and 24, August 10 and 11, and November 14 and 15.  \nD. Where  \nThe MPRE is administered on computers provided at Pearson VUE testing centers. See [https://home.pearsonvue.com/mpre](https://home.pearsonvue.com/mpre for more details)[ for more details](https://home.pearsonvue.com/mpre for more details) about test locations and procedures.  \nE. How  \nHow do you succeed on the MPRE?  \n1. Learning the rules  \nUnderstand the substance of the rules. There 's no need to learn rule numbers or to memorize the exact wording, but you 'll want to be familiar enough to recognize key words and phrases when you see them in the answer choices. This outline generally includes rule numbers for ease of reference ","cbCaiei3H7Twjl4r","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiei3H7Twjl4r","pdf",1464417,86,"English","# MPRE Basics\n## What\n## Why\n## When\n## Where\n## How\n# High-Yield Topics\n## Navigating the Client-Lawyer Relationship\n## Conflicts\n## Advocacy","[{\"question\":\"What is the MPRE and what does it test?\",\"answer\":\"The MPRE is a two-hour, 60-question multiple-choice exam testing the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, the ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct, and related ethics concepts.
