How long do NYLE results take? I was going to do it in August but I have to take the MPRE in November anyway so I figure why bother.

I'm practicing in NJ, so it's not a big issue (no MPRE needed). In any case, my likely-employer doesn't care.

According to this UBE calculator: http://www.seperac.com/zcalc-ube-j16.php

If you get 2s on the MEE and 3s on MPTs, you would need a 170 scaled score (85% of MBE questions correct).

If we up the MPT game to 4s instead of 3s, then you would only need a 155 scaled MBE (75% correct). So I think 75% or 155 scaled is what we should shoot for since examinees usually score consistently high on the MPT.

Isn't it difficult to score 2s on the essays? and unlikely once you're 150+ on the mbe?
