freshman

Hi, I am going to sign up for the August 2008 MPRE, and I was wondering

1) Do I need to take a legal ethics class before I take the exam to be fully prepared?

2) Say I need to get a 86 scaled score on MPRE, how hard is that? What does 86 mean? How many questions do I have to get to get that score? Thanks

Hey Freshman,

1) No, you do not need to take a legal ethics class before you take MPRE. However, you do need to get some study material to familiarize yourself with it. You can probably search for MPRE and read many good and bad reviews about what to use for that matter.

2) MPRE scaled score is a standard score. The standard score scale ranges from 50 (low) to 150 (high). The mean (average) scaled score was established at 100, based upon the performance of the examinees who took the MPRE in March 1999.
That means every year the numbers change b/c it is based on the performance of the examinees. Most likely tho, if you get about 50% right, then you will pass:)

no need to take a legal ethics course. just get a commercial outline and read it. and do problems there.

that's what i did and got 100+ even though i didn't feel very confident walking out of the exam room.

Hi there,

I am sitting it also in August. Have you started studying yet and what are you studying? I have heard mixed reports from postings in forums from people spending an hour studying right before the exam to people spending 1 week solid. I bought the Barbri material and the Law in a Flash cards so working my way through those at the moment.

Regards,
Dave
