The MAX we can get on the essays (MPT and MEE) is 200 points. The Max we can get on the MBE is a 200 points. So, the real "minimum" we'd need on the MBE is a 66, but that assumes we got a perfect score on the essays.JustaQ wrote:So do we need a 133 minimum on the MBE and a 133 on the essays or just a 266 overall?
Gotcha, thank you. So there is no threshold minimum that we HAVE to achieve in order to pass, besides the overall 266ConfusedL1 wrote:The MAX we can get on the essays (MPT and MEE) is 200 points.

This is obviously late since the exam is in 10 days but that breakdown is incorrect. I am not sure where you got the breakdown information from but it's stated in Chart 9 in the NCBE Guide 2017, page 30, that the breakdown in DC is 50-30-20: http://www.ncbex.org/pubs/bar-admission ... .html#p=42lgp876 wrote:RetakeFrenzy wrote:You likely already know this, but MPT is more important in DC than in other UBE jurisdictions.lgp876 wrote:Hi guys, just chiming in.
I am taking the DC bar this July also. I failed VA twice but scored above 133 on the MBE both times, so I'm transferring my MBE score to DC in hopes that focusing only on the essays will help me get a passing score. Does anyone have any advice on which study materials to use for the MEEs and MPTs? I used Kaplan the first time and self studied with Adaptibar the second time. Totally clueless on what to use this time around since I'm not familiar with the UBE.
In other UBE states like NY, the score breakdown is MBE (50%), MEE (30%), and MPT (20%).
But in DC, it is MBC (50%), MEE (25%), and MPT (25%).
Good luck
No, I had no idea about the MPT score in DC. Thought the breakdown was the same in all the UBE states. This gives me hope!
Thanks for sharing
Some DC schools have lunch set up for their alumni so I'm guessing it won't be that crazy.RDA2930 wrote:Admission tickets and instructions just went out via email.
Edit: holy crap, it says there are over 1,000 examinees. That's nuts. Highly recommend bringing a lunch if possible and keeping it in the "unsecured bag area" because there is not the ability to feed 1,000+ people in the convention center and immediate area.
Yep, other than a few logistical problems (not enough sign-in sheets for everyone in our room) and the weird Exam4 confirmation code glitch on the morning of the first day, everything went smoothly. I think DC was better equipped to deal with the higher volume of applicants this year. Though I'm not expecting results before NovemberConfusedL1 wrote:Any issues for folks? Seems to have gone smoothly for most, though I was in one of the smaller rooms.
Individual letters are not sent out until *roughly* a couple weeks after the pass list is posted. The posting of the pass list on the committee's website will be the first notice you will receive. Good luck.gta wrote:Anyone have a good sense of when results will come out? I see the full pass list was posted November 1 last year for the July exam, but I don't know if individual letters are mailed before that or not.

Thanks!PoliLaw wrote:Called to confirm. 3 means they are not finished with your character and fitness, nothing more nothing less. 4 means they have your character and fitness recommendation and are waiting to see if you get a passing score on the exam.
Anyone have any light on this?ndbigdave wrote:I am not in the same boat as (most) everyone in this thread, but still curious. When will the swearing-in ceremony be this year for July takers? If you get results late October/early November will there be a mass swear-in date?
I'm waiting on admission admission via motion, but my NCBE C&F has been received and is now pending certification. Based on another user's experience I can expect a response perhaps within a month or so - which times my admission closely to the July test takers results. I'd think there is a decent chance I'd be sworn in with the takers - thus my curiosity with the takers swearing-in date.
