June 13th registration deadline for August 10 MPRE

Post by Pro Bono »

THURSDAY, June 13th is the regular registration deadline for the next MPRE on Saturday, August 10, 2019 at 9 a.m. (8:30 a.m. report time). The regular registration fee is now $125. Late registration deadline is Thursday, June 20, 2019. The late registration fee is $220. This MPRE is the last on before the July bar exam!

All fees must be paid for by “credit card (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover only) or by e-check.” (NCBE web site).

Dates for the 2019 MPRE are:

2019 Test Dates:

Saturday, August 10, 2019 (after the July 2019 bar exam)
Regular Registration Deadline: June 13, 2019 Fee: $125

Saturday, November 9, 2019

Late Registration Deadline: September 26, 2019 Fee: $220

The MPRE is given in March, August and November. 2020 registration does not open until Monday, December 9, 2019.

Starting in 2020, a computer-based MPRE will be offered at Pearson VUE testing centers. Some August and November 2019 examinees will be chosen to take the computer-based MPRE.


The MPRE can be taken before or after the bar examination, however, the applicant must pass the MPRE within three years either before or after passing the New York bar examination, as measured from the date the applicant sat for each examination.

If you are planning to take the Massachusetts bar examination, or use your UBE score to be admitted in Massachusetts, you MUST take and pass the MPRE with a score of 85 BEFORE applying to take the Massachusetts bar exam or apply for admission using your NY UBE score.

You must now register for an NCBE (National Council of Bar Examiners) number in order to register for the MPRE. You will also need this number to register for the New York bar examination (the Uniform Bar Exam). While the MPRE is administered by LSAC, you must register though your NCBE (National Council of Bar Examiners) Account site at https://accounts.ncbex.org/php/ncbe_number/go and select “Register for the MPRE / Log in to MPRE Account.” If you already have an MPRE account with LSAC, it will transfer your to the MPRE account login page. If not, it will transfer you to the MPRE Account Creation page on the LSAC site. Create an account and log in. This site will enable you to select a test administration date, your preferred test center and the jurisdiction that should receive your score. You will receive a conformation e-mail of your registration after it is processed.

Scores

The MPRE is scaled on a range from 50 to 150. The passing score for New York is 85. Scores are typically released within five weeks from the date of the examination. Score are posted in your NCBE File Cabinet: https://accounts.ncbex.org/php/ncbe_num ... ileCabinet.

Sending score reports to multiple jurisdictions:
You must submit all requests to send scores to another jurisdiction (than the one you designated when you registered) through MPRE Score Services at: http://www.ncbex.org/ncbe-exam-score-se ... -services/. The fee is $25 for an PRE Score report and $50 for an MPRE Score verification. It is payable by MasterCard and Visa only (like the NY Bar Exam).
