When considering the road to becoming a practicing attorney, many law students typically think of the bar exam and only the bar exam. The Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), however, is another requisite component for admission to the bar in most jurisdictions. Despite this, many law students are not even aware of what the MPRE is. To help ensure you know what to expect, below we provide a brief overview of the MPRE and then debunk 5 common myths about the MPRE!
The Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (“MPRE”) is a mandatory test in almost every jurisdiction (except Wisconsin and Puerto Rico) that an individual must take in order to practice law. The MPRE is offered three times per year by the National Conference for Bar Examiners (NCBE). Students can take the MPRE in March, August, or October/November. The purpose of the MPRE is to measure your knowledge of ethical rules that govern the professional conduct of lawyers. Each jurisdiction has a different passing score, so make sure you know your jurisdiction’s passing score prior to taking the MPRE!
Compared to the bar exam, the MPRE is a much lighter test: it lasts for 2 hours and consists of 60 multiple-choice questions. Easy, right? Not so fast! While it is easy to underestimate the MPRE, if you do not take your prep for it seriously, you may have to retake it which can delay when you start practicing law.
Thankfully, there are many resources available on the internet to help you prepare for, study for, and take the MPRE. We compiled a list that you can check out below!
When it comes to the MPRE, students often ask if there’s anything they can do to better prepare themselves for the exam. While we definitely recommend checking out a free MPRE course through a reputable bar prep company (check out ours, here!), there are some additional steps you can take in order to prepare.
Today, we’re taking a closer look at our MPRE Crash Course, which is a great way to start preparing for the MPRE, and it only takes a little more than an hour. Read on for more information on what we cover in our MPRE Crash Course.

The Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) tests the American Bar Association’s Model Rules of Professional Conduct, as well as caselaw, rules, and legal opinions that reflect majority law concerning the ethical rules that govern lawyers. Many exam takers have questions about what to expect, how to prepare, how the MPRE is scored, and so much more! Today, we thought we would put together another blog post with MPRE FAQs. This post is part two of our FAQ series—check out our first post with MPRE Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) here!
With the MPRE in just a couple of weeks, we thought we would spend some time talking about study schedules. The approach to studying for the MPRE varies widely from person to person. Some students spend more time studying per day but study for a shorter period of time. Other students don’t have as much time per day to study due to class and work obligations. These students might study for a longer period of time, but spend less time per day preparing for the exam. No matter what category you fall in, we have you covered! Continue reading for some sample MPRE study schedules!
The Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (or MPRE) tests the ethical rules that lawyers must abide by when practicing law. While you likely hear a lot about final exams and the bar exam when starting law school, chatter about the MPRE might be a little quieter. Taking and passing the MPRE, however, is just as important as passing a law school final exam or the bar exam! The vast majority of jurisdictions require that you pass the MPRE in order to practice law! Below, we discuss what you can expect to see on the MPRE as well as compile a list of free resources to help you prepare for the MPRE, including free MPRE practice questions, flashcards, and lectures.

Yes, it’s true — in most jurisdictions, you need to take another exam in addition to the bar exam to obtain your law license. The Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) is a 60-question multiple-choice exam offered three times a year. The MPRE measures an examinee’s knowledge of the standards of professional conduct by lawyers. After reading this article, you will have an understanding of the particularities of the exam, what to weigh when deciding when to take the exam, and other vital points to know about before heading into the MPRE.
If you’re a law student, you’ve likely heard that most bar prep companies also offer Multistate Professional Responsibilities Examination (MPRE) prep (usually for free!). Perhaps you’re wondering whether you really need to sign up for an MPRE prep course. If you’re thinking about studying for this important exam completely on your own, think again. In this post, we cover four reasons why you need an MPRE prep course.
The Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (“MPRE”) measures an individual’s knowledge of the rules governing the professional conduct of lawyers. The MPRE is offered three times a year in March, August, and November. The MPRE is a 2-hour test that consists of 60 multiple-choice questions. Those 60 questions are broken down into 50 scored questions and 10 experimental questions. You may be wondering “why on earth do I have to take the MPRE?” We hear you and can let you know that thousands of law students before you have echoed the same sentiments. In an effort to better explain why you have to take the MPRE, check out our post below.
So, maybe you waited until the last minute to take the MPRE. Perhaps you fell just short of the pass mark the first couple of times you took that test. Or maybe you just completely forgot about the MPRE. Whatever the case may be, this post addresses whether you can take the MPRE after the bar exam.
The bar exam isn’t the only test you have to pass in order to practice law. The Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) is one more you’ll also need to check off the list in the majority of jurisdictions. The National Conference of Bar Examiners administers the MPRE three times a year. Many students decide to take the MPRE in August between their 2L and 3L years. That being said, you have some flexibility surrounding when you take the MPRE! Here are the reasons why you can take the MPRE anytime you like throughout law school!
The National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE) developed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) to test an examinee’s knowledge of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct (MRPC). The American Bar Association (ABA) creates the MPRC, which is a set of model legal ethics rules for practicing attorneys. Almost every state requires bar exam applicants to pass the MPRE as a prerequisite to becoming licensed to practice law. In this post, we explain what the MPRE tests, why you have to take it, and most importantly, how to pass!
