Repeat takers: Have you ever seen your MBE score drop?
I have taken the bar a few times, and each time my MBE score has gone up. Has anyone seen theirs go down?

Maybe good news for me. I scored a 134 the one time I took the bar exam and that was without heavy practicing, Adaptibar or the like.anandamide wrote:I have taken the bar a few times, and each time my MBE score has gone up. Has anyone seen theirs go down?

Yes it can go down, quite a bit if circumstances combine against you.anandamide wrote:I have taken the bar a few times, and each time my MBE score has gone up. Has anyone seen theirs go down?
This is alike a sporting event, some days you are more intelligent than others.
The test is scaled according to group performance, so the relative difficulty of the test and performance of the people taking it affect your score.
Your score might go down due to emotions (anxiety in erasing your first answer) or just fatigue, because some idiot pulled the fire alarm the night before.
Your score might go down because you used an inferior strategy on the subsequent preparation, or you worked up to the last day of the test (a lot of retakers can't afford to take off time for subsequent retests).
The variables are too numerous to list.
