I did really well. Like everyone has said before me, I walked out of the test not knowing how well I did. Really, I didn't really care either; I just wanted a passing score. I thought the test was pretty fair, not particularly easy or hard.
Got a 113. Test was very strange to gauge. I left thinking, I did ok but then again I could easily have got below the 85 for NYC. The long fact patterns don't halp either and the test does not reallly test your knowledge of the Code and Rules. How did you find it?
I got 62. I cannot believe it. I had a similar feeling as va2008 about the test. I did not expect to get a high score but I was confident at the end of the test that I could pass. I would greatly appreciate it if VA2008 and Ipnoland could share some of your experiences in studying and passing the MPRE, particularly, what study materials you used, and how much time you devoted to the study?
Did you all take a professional responsibility class before taking the exam? Everyone I know said "oh, you don't need to take PR before taking the test, just study the Barbri book". Well, I tried that and got a 67! The next semester I took PR, still used the Barbri book to review, and got a 106. So for me, having taken the class in law school before attempting the MPRE made all the difference.
It's been years since my PR class and I didn't take a refresher class. Here's what I did: Bought the current (current for the Aug. 2008 MPRE) BarBri book and the Law in a Flash PR flashcards. I read the long outline in the BarBri book carefully, did all of the practice questions and tests. I did most of the flashcards. Trust me, the flashcards are easy to carry around, pull out and do quickly while you're sitting around. I also subscribed to the bar outlines MPRE outlines but I mostly just listened to the lectures once while I was at work.
I would say that I improved most from reading the long outline carefully and doing alot of practice questions (this includes the flashcards) and really paying attention to the answers, even when I got the answer correct and particularly when I got it incorrect. All told, I spent about a month studying: About 30 minutes every day for the first 2 weeks and and about 1 hour a day for the last 2 weeks.
