- The MPT is the performance test part of the Uniform Bar Exam. You take the Multistate Performance Test (MPT) on the afternoon of the first day of the bar exam. It’s worth 20% of your total score. The MPT has two 90-minute tasks. Unlike the multiple choice and essay portions of the bar exam, you don’t need to memorize substantive law to rock the MPT. Each MPT task has you prepare some sort of legal document, like a letter, memo, or brief. You get the specifics of each assignment in a memo from your hypothetical supervising attorney. To tackle the task, you get a “file” of client-related information and a little “library” of potentially relevant laws.
Top 14 MPT Tips:
Tip #1 - Practice, practice, practice. During your first one or two practice questions don’t worry about speed. Just get oriented to the MPT process and lingo in a low-key, but thorough way. After that, practice under timed conditions to improve pacing. Once you can handle one MPT task in 90 minutes, try doing two, back-to-back, just like exam day. As with MBE and MEE questions, practice using real MPT questions.

Note: Some jurisdictions may change the order of the writing day (i.e., have the MPT in the morning, and MEE in the afternoon). Consult your local jurisdiction's rules to know for sure.
You take MPT morning of writing day!
Did you just take the bar? Which state? Our understanding was that most (if not all) states had the MEE in the morning and MPT in the afternoon. See, e.g., www.utahbar.org/admissions/frequently-asked-questions/ Obviously, if your experience was different, which it sounds like it was, we need to clarify that some jurisdictions may shake up that order. Thanks so much for the heads up!
Crushendo yup! Took New Jersey which is UBE state!
Dang! Sorry for the confusion. We called around to other state bars today and found at least one other state that does the same as NJ. We'll be sure to clarify this going forward. Thanks! Hope you get some awesome news in a few weeks!
