  • Question Set Goals
    iii. QUESTION SET GOALS On recent summer Multistate Bar Exams, the overall average percent correct on scored questions was about 67% (127 out of 190). But you don’t need to score that high on the BARBRI question sets to be doing well, because many of them are statistically harder than the actual exam. Use the goals below to track your progress—they are based on the average performance of previous BARBRI students on these questions. If your scores in one or two subjects are lower than the average, spend more time reviewing the blackletter law for that subject or do optional question sets on that subject in StudySmart. If your scores in all of the subjects are lower than average, consider doing the Half Day or Full Day Practice Exams in this book, or additional mixed subject questions in StudySmart. Remember that your scores on these question sets are raw scores; on the actual MBE, the bar examiners will add points to your raw score to obtain a scaled score, which is what states use to compute overall passing grades. The bottom line is that you can miss a lot of questions and still pass the exam. MBE Preview Diagnostic Exam Overall: 49 out of 100 (49% correct) Constitutional Law: 9 out of 16 (56%) Contracts: 9 out of 17 (53%) Criminal Law: 8 out of 17 (47%) Evidence: 8 out of 16 (50%) Real Property: 7 out of 17 (41%) Torts: 9 out of 17 (53%) MBE Constitutional Law Workshop: 18 out of 25 (72%) MBE Contracts Workshop: 17 out of 25 (68%) MBE Criminal Law & Procedure Workshop: 17 out of 25 (68%) MBE Evidence Workshop: 16 out of 25 (64%) MBE
