Grading

Each MPT answer will be given a raw score on a scale of 12. Each of the six MEE questions will be weighted equally and will be given a raw score on a scale of 1 to 6.

The raw MPT Examination and MEE scores will be combined, producing a raw score with a maximum of 60. They then correlate the MPT-MEE score and MBE by using the Mean and Standard Deviation method. The scaled MBE and MPT-MEE scores will be reported to the nearest tenth of a point. An applicant's converted MPT-MEE score will be added to the applicant's MBE scaled score. The total will be rounded to the nearest whole number, which will constitute the applicant's overall grade.

Overall passing grade on the New Hampshire Bar Examination is 270 on a scale of 400.
