Ballparking because I don't remember, but:

Midterm: 102 (I think I got 51% right)
Final: 120s
MBE: 147.1
UBE: 314

I didn't practice essays, only QBank. I was really lazy about studying until July (I.e., did not complete all the problem sets during the course, and then ratcheted up to 50-100Qs per day once I saw that finals grade).
Congratulations!

Kaplan final: 117
MBE: 163.6
UBE: 305

I drilled MBE questions from the QBank and Emmanuel's for the last two weeks leading up to the exam and also used Critical Pass flashcards for review during this period. Did not bother with the essay workshops and exercises, but I did outline about 30 MEE prompts.
Congratulations!

I think you are fine. I reached out to them and they told me you have till December 1st. If you don’t have the shipping slip, just write down your name and Kaplan ID and send them to:

What if your firm paid for it? Feel like they/I should still get the money back, given they paid and I'm paying taxes on it.

As long as someone paid for the deposit they are entitled to a refund. I wasn’t sure if I had paid so I asked. I’d do the same if I were you. Just shoot them an email.

It seems like people who were around my Kaplan midterm/final MBE score are crushing the MBE...

I'm still waiting on CA results, but my midterm was really low, I think 90, and then my final was low to mid 120s from what I remember.

Passed California. Any way to find out scaled mbe scores for comparison? I made 164 on the Kaplan midterm, 165 on the final and basically followed the program to the letter.

Has anyone gotten their book deposit back yet? I'm wondering if their 2-4 week timeline is accurate.

I got mine a long time ago. I sent my stuff in right after I took the Bar and I received the deposit some time in mid-August.

same.
For what it's worth, I e-mailed them about 4 weeks after they had received my books and was like hey where's my money and they were like hey here's your money, so worth a shot.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
