The MPT can include a variety of tasks to students taking the bar exam. However, the most commonly appearing MPT tasks are the objective memorandum, the persuasive brief, the demand letter, and the opinion letter. Students often struggle to understand the differences between these four MPT tasks. In this post, we discuss the different tasks that you might encounter on the MPT.
Given the immense pressure felt and the considerable amount of time required when preparing for the bar exam, many examinees focus their study time and attention on the substantive portions of the bar exam, neglecting the Multistate Performance Test (MPT). Although the MPT does not require you to have any substantive law memorized, that does not mean you should not prepare for it! Ideally, you will have been practicing the MPT early on, but if you procrastinated on your MPT studies, you are not alone. In our Procrastinator’s Guide to the MPT, we discuss what the MPT is, how to approach it, and tips for last-minute studying to efficiently and effectively maximize your points.
Are you looking to improve your MPT score? The Multistate Performance Test (MPT) is the most overlooked portion of the exam. Many Students put it off until the last minute, and then they are not sure how to tackle this extremely important part of the bar exam. If this sounds like you, sign up for our free MPT webinar on Wednesday, June 22, 2022, from 2:00 PM EST to 3:00 EST. You can access a recording of the webinar after the live one has concluded.

The Multistate Performance Test includes two 90-minute problems that count as 20 percent of a student’s bar exam score. The materials for each problem are presented by way of a File and a Library, and everything a student needs to complete the problem is contained therein. Because the materials are provided, many students leave studying for the MPT until the last minute, and some fail to prepare for the MPT at all. This post addresses how an incomplete MPT impacts your bar exam score.
As students prepare for the Uniform Bar Exam (UBE), they often wonder how many Multistate Performance Tests (MPTs) they should practice before exam day. Do not be fooled into thinking that just because there is no need to memorize substantive law, or because you have written a memo or two in a legal writing class, that you don’t need to study for the MPT. You cannot simply count on your law school education and adrenaline to get you through the MPT come exam day! Though the MPT does not require memorizing substantive law, it still deserves time and effort as part of your bar studying regime. The MPT can be (and has been for many) the difference between passing and failing the bar exam. So, how many MPTs should I practice?
As the bar exam approaches, you may be wondering if you are sufficiently prepared for the MEE portion of the Uniform Bar Exam. In this post, we discuss some ways to determine whether you are prepared for the MEE! Read more

Many attorneys find themselves in a position of having to take another bar exam years after graduating from law school and becoming licensed.

The bar exam comes with pressure. Job offers, memorizing large amounts of material, financial stress, and more are often on the line when students take the bar exam. In talking about pressure, it’s important to note how pressure impacts students differently. Some students may suffer from anxiety leading up to and during the exam. Others may double down on preparation efforts leading up to the exam. However, all of this pressure can lead some students to completely draw a blank during the bar exam, including the Multistate Performance Test. Here are JD Advising’s top tips for what to do if you draw a blank on the Multistate Performance Test.
The Multistate Performance Test or MPT makes up 20% of your total UBE score and is the first task you will likely encounter when taking the exam (the MPT is administered during the morning of the first day of the bar exam). As such, success on the MPT is very important to success on the bar exam! In this post, we discuss 15 quick tips for the MPT that can help you succeed.
