1. Objective Memorandum Update: tested!
The objective memorandum has appeared on 31 out of the 37 MPT exams since July 2006, or on 84% of the exams. The objective memorandum is the most highly tested MPT task. The objective memorandum was most recently tested in February 2023. However, it is incredibly common for objective memoranda to appear on consecutive administrations. The objective memorandum is ripe for testing on the February 2024 MPT.
If you are unfamiliar with how to format an objective memorandum, take a look at our post on how to format an objective memorandum on the MPT. It is a good idea to know how to format an objective memorandum because usually formatting instructions are not provided on the exam.
To get some practice with objective memorandum tasks, we suggest that you complete a few tasks under timed conditions to determine your strengths and weaknesses. We recommend taking a look at the following objective memorandum MPTs, most of which are available for free on the NCBE Study Aids website:
- July 2014: In re Kay Struckman
- February 2015: In re Harrison
- July 2016: In re Whirley
- February 2017: In re Ace Chemical
- July 2017: In re Zimmer Farm

2. Persuasive Brief Update: tested!
After the objective memorandum, the persuasive brief is the next most frequently tested MPT task, appearing on the MPT 49% of the time since July 2006 and on 18 out of 37 MPT exams. The persuasive brief was most recently tested in July 2023. Lately, the persuasive brief has been tested every other administration. However, in the past, the persuasive brief was tested on about four consecutive exams and then omitted on the following few exams. The persuasive brief may be ripe for testing on the February 2024 MPT.
If you are unfamiliar with how to format a persuasive brief, take a look at our post on how to format a persuasive brief on the MPT. It is good to know how to format a persuasive brief because formatting instructions are often not provided on the exam. Do not assume that the formatting instructions for all persuasive briefs (or any task!) are the same. Please read the formatting memo, if one is provided, very carefully. Formatting memos are always found immediately after the task memo in the MPT’s File.
To get some practice with persuasive briefs, we suggest you complete a few tasks under timed conditions to determine your strengths and weaknesses. We recommend taking a look at the following MPTs, all of which are available for free on the NCBE Study Aids website:

If you are unfamiliar with how to format a wildcard task, take a look at our post on how to format a wildcard task on the MPT.
