February 2010 MBE Calculator

The following calculator will estimate the percentage and number of applicants nationwide who scored better than you or worse than you on the February 2010 MBE based on your MBE scale score. The calculator is based on the February 2010 MBE Summary Statistics data released by NCBE. The calculations have approximately a +1/-1 percentage of error. I will make 2011 calculators once NCBE releases the 2011 MBE statistics in mid-2012.

Note: If anyone has a score sheet from the July 2006 NY bar exam or earlier, it would be greatly appreciated if you could email me these past grading sheets or their contents so that I can estimate raw MBE scores. Alternatively, you can submit the scores to me electronically by completing the following online form. All information submitted will be treated confidentially.

  * The estimated raw MBE score is based on the February 2006 scale since the February 2006 exam was the last New York bar exam that reported raw MBE scores. Please note that the raw conversion between administrations can differ by as many as 8 or more points, especially with extremely high or low scores.
