July 2007 MBE Calculator

The following calculator will estimate the percentage and number of applicant nationwide who scored better than you or worse than you on the July 2007 MBE based on your MBE scale score. The calculator is based on the July 2007 MBE Summary Statistics data released by NCBE. The calculations have approximately a +1/-1 percentage of error. The calculator also calculates your estimated raw MBE score (based on the July 2006 scale since the July 2006 exam was the last New York bar exam that reported raw MBE scores) and a minimum passing written average score for the combined essays/MPT. I will make 2008 calculators once NCBE releases the 2008 MBE statistics.
