I never really get an answer with these, but what does this mean for feb takers, generally? I took Cal.

The F19 MBE mean was the second lowest in the history of the MBE (going back to 1972). The lowest was in F18. The F19 MBE mean of 134 was close to the F17 MBE mean of 134.1, so I would expect the CA F19 pass rate to be close to the CA F17 pass rate of 35% since pass rates usually track the MBE mean (see below CA Feb pass rates vs Feb MBE mean from 1995-2017)

Thank you as always, Joe. And how would this translate to MBE percent correct to achieve 1440 scaled? I think your estimate before was 74% (Jesus!)

Not a clue at the moment. I need about 100 scores from examinees to even get somewhat close to figuring out the MBE scale for the F19 exam. So if you don't mind me highjacking your thread, I'll take this opportunity to ask for scores. If you failed the exam and have your MBE subscores (e.g. Florida, Missouri), if you complete the following form, I will email you a breakdown of your MBE subscores once I figure them out:

Basically, the MBE percentiles on your report only tell you where you stand as compared to others nationally. For example, a 41.7 in Civil Procedure means you did better than 41.7% of F19 examinees nationwide in Civil Procedure. However, with enough scores, I can figure out your actual raw MBE scores (e.g. that you answered 13/25 of the Civil Procedure MBE questions correctly, meaning 52% correct for Civil Procedure). With this information, you can correlate your exam MBE scores to your practice MBE scores (e.g. if you were getting 70% correct on Civil Procedure questions in practice but 50% correct on the exam, you should find a better/more relevant source of Civil Procedure MBE practice questions).
