A Procrastinator’s Guide to the MPT: How to Approach the MPT and Other Critical MPT Tips

Ideally, you will have been practicing the MPT early on, but if you procrastinated on your MPT studies, you are not alone.

How Many MPTs Should I Practice?

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!

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?

Are The Multistate and California Performance Tests Different?

The first question you may have had after reading the title of this blog post is “why on earth would I want to know whether the Multistate and California Performance Tests are different?” To be honest, many people take one state bar exam and simply move on with their lives.

  2. people who plan on practicing in multiple jurisdictions; and
  3. people who have to relocate and end up practicing in a jurisdiction they have not previously been licensed.

Yes, there are differences between the California performance test and the UBE performance tests. And, these differences are both procedural and structural.
