Grading
The 400-point examination consists of two equally weighted components: (1) the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) and (2) a written examination, which consists of two Multistate Performance Test (MPT) items and four essay questions. Raw scores on the MPT items will be multiplied by 1.5 and added to raw scores on the essay questions. Total raw scores on the written examination will be converted to the 200-point MBE scale and then combined with the scaled MBE score to obtain a final score. A score of 270 is required to pass the examination. However, your MPT and Essay answers will not be graded unless you achieve a scaled score of at least 115 on the MBE portion of the examination.

MPRE
A minimum passing scaled score is 75 or higher.
