The Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) is required for admission to the bars of all but four U.S. jurisdictions. Passing scores, which are established by each jurisdiction, currently vary between 75 and 86. Applicants are advised to contact the jurisdictions directly for the most current information regarding passing scores, rules, and policies. A regularly updated list of contact information for the jurisdictions appears on the Bar Admission Offices page.

The Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE) is a 60-question, two-hour-and-five-minute, multiple-choice examination administered three times each year.  Information packets are available at the Law School Receptionist desk, or on-line at http://www.ncbex.org/multistate-tests/mpre/.

If you have questions regarding the MPRE, please call 319-341-2500. E-mail mpre.registration@act.org for registration information or mpre.score@act.org for scoring information.
