Grading Procedures

There are three graders for each MPT and MEE , each of whom grades one-third of the answers for that specific question. Once initial grading is complete, the weighted written score is scaled to the MBE and the scaled written score is combined with the scaled MBE score to determine the combined total scaled score. All applicants receiving a combined scaled score within the Court’s established re-read range will have their written answers re-read and re-graded by a different grader. The re-read graders are not aware of the scores originally given. As part of this process a final essay score is determined, scaled to the MBE and combined with the scaled MBE score to determine a final score. Pursuant to Pa. B.A.R. 221 , once results are released the scores are final and are not subject to judicial review.
