Format, Content, & Grading of the Pennsylvania Bar Exam |
|
The Pennsylvania Bar Exam is a two-day exam -- Tuesday and Wednesday -- with the Pennsylvania essays and performance test on Tuesday and the multiple-choice Multistate Bar Exam on Wednesday. First Day (Tuesday): Note:
"By Order of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, one PT question,
developed by the Board of Law Examiners, may be used in lieu of a
Multistate Performance Test question as a component of the essay portion
of the bar examination." According
to the Pennsylvania Board of Law Examiners: The
performance test question has a weight of 1.5 times an
essay. Your scaled score on the MBE
is multiplied by .45. Pennsylvania
generally announces in October on its website
when the results of the Summer bar exam will be released, and in early
April on its website
when the results of the Winter bar exam will be released. |
