What are the hardest MBE subjects?

What is the average for simulated MBE?

You just need it high enough to pass. The national average on simulated tests right now is normally about 55-56% correct, but if you are in the 45-53% range, you can still make up the points. An 80% first time taker pass rate means you only need a higher score than 20% of people, not 50%.

What is a good score on practice MBE?

In most jurisdictions, there is no minimum MBE score!

You should aim to get at least a 133 on the MBE and a 133 on the written portion when you practice. But, you do not “need” a 133 on each portion. You could just as easily pass with a 120 on the MBE and a 146 on the written portion! So, keep that in mind.

Is the MBE curved?

MBE score results consistently follow a bell curve pattern for every single bar exam administration. A few students have a very high MBE scaled score and some have a very low scaled score.

What is the average raw MBE score?

You want to aim for a scaled score of at least 140-145 (which is the average score). Ideally, you should want a 150+ scaled score to have confidence to pass the exam.

Are Barbri questions harder than actual MBE?

The Barbri invented questions are harder than the real MBE questions. (Real MBE questions are still difficult though.) The Barbri MBE compares you to how others score on the Barbri simulated MBE.

Is 60% on the MBE good?

If you are answering about 60-66% correct on the MBE, you are likely in the “safe zone.” A higher score than that is, of course, even better! If you are scoring lower than that, see below for tips. But also, make sure that you work on the written portion of the exam.

What is the lowest score to pass the MBE?

Well... in most states you really only need a score of 131-135 to pass the MBE®. Scoring higher than needed on the MBE exam is actually very beneficial, because in most states, any number over passing will be added to MEE score, which will give you a better chance of passing the exam!

What is a good raw score on Barbri simulated MBE?

Keep in mind that this is 116/190 or 120/190 questions (61% – 63%). This is because there are ten “test” questions that are not counted in your raw score. A raw score of 120 – 125 (63% – 66%) score should put you in a relatively “safe” zone.

When should I take simulated MBE?

The simulation is held several weeks prior to your actual exam. It exposes you to the mental and physical rigors of the Multistate Bar Exam so you know what to expect on exam day. For more information on the Simulated MBE, please read more on our product features page.

How to memorize law for MBE?

Use Context-Based Memorization

You want to make sure when you've got a rule memorized, you're able to think about how that rule works in concept. A great way to do this is to think of a hypothetical MBE question or essay issue that could involve what you've memorized.

Does the MBE repeat questions?

Sometimes students take lots of multiple choice practice exams, get to the bar exam, and are thrown off by the MBE's question format. Avoid this by taking old MBE questions. The NCBE doesn't reuse old MBE questions, but you may come across questions that are very similar.

Can you pass the bar with a low MBE score?

While it would be great to ace every potion of your bar exam, you don't necessarily need to get a passing MBE score to pass the bar. Often, students are able to balance out lower MBE scores with higher essays scores. In UBE states, the MBE and essays are weighted equally.

2) The MBE is hard

Most people regard the MBE as the hardest portion of the bar exam. The questions are rarely easy or straightforward.
