Should I Wait to take the July 2017 California Bar Exam?
California recently announced that it was changing its bar exam from three days to two days. The “old” (current) scoring structure of the California bar exam is detailed here. The California bar exam is currently kind of brutal – with the grading as follows:
- 200 multiple choice questions (MBE) worth 35% of your overall score (maximum number of points you can receive is 700)
- Two three-hour performance tests (MPTs) worth 200 points each or 26% of your overall score (maximum number of points you can receive is 520)
- Six one-hour essays worth 39% of your overall score (maximum number of points you can receive is 780)
