What is the MPT?

The MPT, or Multistate Performance Test, is developed by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE). MPT questions present simulated work assignments that a new or beginning associate in a law firm would be asked to complete. The MPT is not intended to test knowledge of substantive law (unlike the other portions of the Bar Exam). Individual jurisdictions (states) assign their own weight to the MPT and determine how many (one or two 90-minute) MPT questions will be asked in that jurisdiction. The MPT answers are graded by the individual jurisdictions. The MPT is offered as part of the Bar Exam, in February and July.
