The first time I got an adequate score without studying at all. This time I did study, and I thought it was a hard exam. Some of the questions were rather tricky, perhaps too tricky. There was one question about whether you can still practice in federal court in a state where your state licensed has been suspended--This is actually a pending case currently in court--so I am guessing this was one of the 10 practice questions. I say there were about 20-25 that I knew flat out--the rest came down to two answers and I just hoped my instincts were correct.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911788560018241640.post-15239742537401064352009-11-09T22:39:32.679-05:002009-11-09T22:39:32.679-05:00I like this game.

Also, there are 10 unscored questions, so you could get those wrong in addition. So theoretically, it's possible to get an 85 by only answering 25 out of 60 questions correctly. This exam was noticeably harder than the old questions that MPRE has released, so I am hoping for a generous curve!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911788560018241640.post-2178319334583682602009-11-08T00:49:56.593-05:002009-11-08T00:49:56.593-05:00Does anyone have any idea how many we can get wron...Does anyone have any idea how many we can get wrong for an 85?
