I think the majority of students like myself left the MPT for last to study and I don't have any outline to go based on to get an idea. Thank you in advance and good luck!

Are you self study or did you use a program?

My biggest tip for you is to not run out of time. I think if you have not practiced much you need to be more aware of this point.
I actually went too long on MPT1 and had to write headings and bullet points for a good chunk of MPT2 in July. I still passed, but this was avoidable and caused me months of anxiety between the test and results.

Besides making sure that you finish the MPT, make sure the it is organized in an easily readable way with clear and concise headers to each response.

Write the conclusion first so if you run out of time you'll be able to deliver a MPT that look finished.
Done that and passed

In a UBE state (with 2 MPTS) are both passed out at the same time and you have to time yourself for 90 mins. on each? Or is it MPT1 passed out you get 90 mins. then MPT1 collected and then MPT2 passed out? Thanks.

Both passed out at the same time and you have to allocate the time yourself. Same for all 6 MEEs, which I am not looking forward to.

Idk which state you're in, but NY lets you bring analog watches, you just can't wear them on your wrist.

Timing is one of the biggest issue with the MPT. If you're using ExamSoft, there's a timer on there that you can use.

I'm just thrilled I'm not taking the TX bar (that has 12 essays).

Yeah that's how OH is, but they pass out the essays two at a time and each are half an hour, so it was way easier to allocate time than the MEE.

In TX we get 12 total 6 at a time 30 minutes each, but they have huge countdown clocks projected everywhere so you can see how much time you have left, so it isn't that bad... well as not bad as writing 12 essays that determine your future can be, and luckily we only have 1 MPT, thank goodness!
Good luck everyone!
