MPRE

Post by Anonymous User » Thu Oct 30, 2014 3:11 pm

If one were to fail the MPRE and have to retake it, would anybody know? Would your firm care? Also, do you get back a score? Is the score relevant? Is there any incentive to "ace" it?

The above is correct. But you'll have to live with the knowledge that you failed something a monkey could pass.

I took the MPRE without studying and got an 84 :( As long as you don't take the last possible exam date before the bar it has literally no bearing.

Some states allow you to take the MPRE after the bar.

The score is relevant in that some states have higher/lower required scores to pass. (I believe 75 in DC is the lowest and 86 in Cali is the highest.) But that's it.

Took the MPRE without studying, with a hangover, in a room with no clock. Had no idea how I was doing time wise so just rushed through.

Yup, I took it several months after the bar because I was clerking and it didn't matter when I got admitted.

I think it's about 5 weeks after the exam. So early December I'd guess
