The in-class Barbri Practice MBE just tore my a***Ss up. Does it mean I will fail.?

Friday, February 10th, 2012

I just self-graded my in class Barbri practice test and I got like 94 out of 200 questions correct.
Does this mean that the actual bar exam will ruin me, or is Barbri tougher than the real McCoy?

The important part is not how many you get correct but rather what your percentile ranking is. Any topic or subtopic that your ranking is above the 25th percentile is fine. Anything below that needs work.

If you have more questions, give your local BARBRI office a call or feel free to call the BARBRI office and ask them to get in touch with me.
