Why to Take the August MPRE (and take it seriously!)

in ,

Multiple choice questions on law school examsThe August MRPE will be here before we know it. The exam will take place on Saturday, August 15, 2015.

A lot of students sign up for the August MPRE and don’t take it seriously because they know they can take it again in November if they need to. However, we advise against that mentality.

But, no matter how you tend to fair with standardized exams, the MPRE definitely requires some level of studying for everyone that takes it.   Read more

I Failed the MPRE. What Should I do?

1 Comment/in ,

law-books-291692_640Today is the results release date of the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) given in March. Some students feel relieved to have the MPRE over with. Others, however, find that they failed the MPRE and are left wondering what went wrong. “I failed the MPRE. What should I do?” is a question we hear a lot more often than you may think!

First, relax. You can take the MPRE again. It is not a one-shot deal. If you still have additional semesters of law school left, you should feel even more relaxed as it will not delay your ability to take the bar exam (in fact, only a few states make it a prerequisite to taking the bar exam. Most states allow you to take the bar exam prior to passing the MPRE).  Read more

A passing score on the MPRE is required in order to be admitted to the bar in every jurisdiction except Maryland, Wisconsin, and Puerto Rico.
