An independent, unofficial guide to the MPRE (Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination) — not affiliated with, endorsed by, or reviewed by NCBE.
Format last checked: September 2026. The MPRE is developed and administered by NCBE (National Conference of Bar Examiners) via computer-based testing at Pearson VUE centers, three times a year (typically March, August, and November). It is required for admission to the bar in nearly all U.S. jurisdictions (Wisconsin and Puerto Rico are the notable exceptions), and tests the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct plus the Model Code of Judicial Conduct. Each jurisdiction sets its own passing score — there is no single nationwide cutoff. Verify current fees, eligibility, scheduling, and your jurisdiction's specific passing score against NCBE's own MPRE page and your bar admission authority before registering to sit for it.

On this bank's topic groupings: NCBE's own official MPRE Subject Matter Outline organizes tested content into roughly a dozen broader subject areas with published weights. This platform instead organizes its 500 questions into 20 more granular topic groupings (25 questions each) for easier targeted drilling — a useful study organization, but not NCBE's official category names or weights. See NCBE's site for the authoritative outline.
Two ways to practice here
Pick a single topic below for a focused, timed testlet (up to 15 questions, paced at the exam's overall average of 2 minutes per question) — good for drilling one area at a time. Or take the Full MPRE Mock Exam: a fresh 60-question set drawn at random from the entire 500-question bank every attempt, timed at the real exam's full 120-minute duration.
A note on scoring
The MPRE uses a scaled score from 50 to 150, and each jurisdiction sets its own passing score independently — currently ranging from about 75 to 86 depending on where you plan to be admitted. This portal reports plain accuracy (percent correct) against an illustrative ~70% self-check benchmark, with a study-signal label — useful for tracking progress, not a prediction of your actual scaled score or a substitute for checking your specific jurisdiction's requirement.

Untimed, with explanations. Filter by topic or difficulty, answer, then reveal the explanation whenever you're ready.
Mock Exams
Take the Full MPRE Mock Exam for a real-length, 60-question simulation timed at the exam's full 120 minutes, drawn at random from the entire 500-question bank each attempt — or choose a single topic below for a shorter, focused testlet.
Once you start, the clock runs continuously and auto-submits when it hits zero. Explanations are withheld until you finish. The real exam delivers 60 questions total (50 scored plus 10 unidentified, unscored pretest questions); this simulation draws from the full 500-question bank without that scored/pretest distinction.
