Is the scaling standardized across states? Do all states use the scaled scores to determine bar passage? No states use raw scores right? Thanks for answering questions.
Supposedly NY has a somewhat different scaling process and only scales against other NY takers, or at least that's what I was told.
In the end, though, it doesn't really matter. It wouldn't have changed the way I studied and the end result is basically the same. Whatever process a state uses for scaling, it's the same for every applicant for that state. If State X scales 1 way and State Y scales another way or doesn't scale at all, and both have an 80% pass rate, then it's basically just academic.

Yeah just got it. I hear we should know results by 10/1? Anyone know if this sounds correct?

Thanks for this. So...the average raw MBE score across the board was a 127.8 (approx 143.8 scaled). Of the Missouri takers, the average first time MBE was a 146.89 (highest was a 182.9!!?!!)
Edit: Obviously none of these numbers are super unexpected given the scale...

Yeah, Missouri slightly outperformed the national average, but only by a few percentage points. And at least one person beasted the MBE.

Congrats on passing and thanks for posting this.
Unless I'm reading it wrong, it looks like it was actually a 146 average MBE (scaled) and a 128 raw. At least I think this would mean that a 128 raw MBE would earn you a 146 -- an 18 point curve for a 128. Since the curve increases as the raw score decreases, this might mean that a raw score of 118 or 119 could net a 20 point curve.

Not quite. They give the average MBE score in each subject, but that doesn't mean the average person earned that score in each subject.

I like that the Palindrome MPT average was relatively high, since that's the one we had in NY.

I'm also not sure what to make of Evidence being the lowest average score by quite a bit. Doesn't really bode that well for me, as my best subject.

Re: MBE
I got a 148 raw score which translated into a 163.5 scaled score.

Thanks! I was scoring right around there on the Barbri questions and I got a 165 on the single NCBE set I bought. So almost exactly in line with my practice scores.
