Should I Take the MPRE the Summer After 1L Year?: Now that your first year of law school is completely behind you (yay!), one thing to start thinking about is when to take the professional responsibility exam.

(Some states limit the number of times you can take the bar exam without a passing MPRE score. A couple states prohibit you from taking the bar exam at all until you pass the MPRE!)

Bar Exam Failure Stories: How I Passed The Bar Exam On My Fourth Try!: It is no secret that the bar exam is difficult and that it is an experience like no other.
