What is the MPRE?

The Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), administered by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE), is required for bar admission in Georgia and most other states. It consists of a two-hour, 60-question multiple-choice examination. The MPRE is based on the law governing the conduct and discipline of lawyers and judges, including the disciplinary rules of professional conduct in the American Bar Association (ABA) Model Rules of Professional Conduct, the ABA Model Code of Judicial Conduct, and controlling constitutional decisions and generally accepted principles established in leading federal and state cases and in procedural and evidentiary rules. It can be taken while in law school. See: https://www.ncbex.org/exams/mpre

The MPRE is scored from 50 (low) to 150 (high).  These scores do NOT directly reflect the number of correct answers.  The NCBE explains that it uses “a statistical process known as equating that is commonly used on standardized examinations. This statistical process adjusts raw scores on the current examination to account for differences in difficulty as compared with past examinations.” Each state sets its own pass score.  Georgia currently has a VERY low pass score: 75 (that is only 25 points above the lowest possible score). The vast majority of persons who take the MPRE achieve a passing score.

The MPRE is administered three times a year. The remaining test dates for 2025:
Test dates: November 13 and 14, 2025 | Registration Deadline: September 25, 2025

It is recommended that you take the MPRE after you complete a required legal ethics courses.

MPRE accommodations
            The MPRE is administered on computers provided by Pearson VUE at its testing centers. Students must request test accommodations if they have an impairment that necessitates any deviation from the standard test administration (such as extended testing time). Students requesting accommodations should submit their request as far in advance of their desired test administration as possible, and ideally no later than the Recommended Submission Date for that test date.  For more information: https://www.ncbex.org/exams/mpre/test-accommodations
