The MPRE is not part of the New York/California Bar Exam but you must pass the MPRE before you can be admitted to practice.
The MPRE can be taken before or after the Bar Exam and covers ethics and professional conduct. Most of our students choose to take it after the New York/California Bar Exam and extend their stay in the States.
The exam is held three times a year – in March, August and November. It is only held in the US but you are not restricted to sitting the exam in only New York or California.
The MPRE is administered by the National Conference of Bar Examiners. Further information can be found at www.ncbex.org
