As we've previously observed, "we're not really sure how much there is to say about the MPRE. It's not a super-difficult test, and it hasn't exactly achieved the mythical status of the bar exam as a rite of passage for aspiring lawyers."
But it seems, judging from all the emails we've received, that some of you are dying to discuss the just-released results for the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination. A few representative messages:
"The MPRE results for August are now online!""I didn't study at all and got an 80. Looks like I'll be re-upping in November."
[Ed. note: As noted here, "[p]assing scores, which are established by each jurisdiction, currently vary between 75 and 86."]
"I just got an e-mail with a link to my score for the August MPRE. Pretty quick turnaround time, actually -- exactly a month since the test day. Thought you might want the news."
This does seem a little earlier than usual, as we were just discussing here in the office. From an IM that Elie sent (yes, we IM each other, even though we're about 15 feet away): "What is the usual turnaround time for MPRE scores? I don't remember mine, other than briefly wondering if taking it hung over was really a wise decision (turned out fine)."
Here's an open thread for discussing the MPRE. If you passed the test, congratulations. If you failed -- well, prepare to be mocked, in the comments.

Open threads about the MPRE are a fine tradition here at ATL. See here and here.
Even if the test isn't particularly difficult or interesting, people love to talk about it. We've already received a slew of "MPRE results are out!" emails, and the news has also surfaced in the comments to other posts.
So to everyone who passed the MPRE, congratulations. To everyone who didn't pass the MPRE, you can bemoan your fate, in the comments.

Some of you took the MPRE recently -- and we're gathering, from your comments, that you'd like a place to talk about it. Here is an open thread.
To be totally honest, we're not really sure how much there is to say about the MPRE. It's not a super-difficult test, and it hasn't exactly achieved the mythical status of the bar exam as a rite of passage for aspiring lawyers.
But perhaps you'll surprise us. Back in December, an open thread on MPRE results generated over 200 comments. So maybe there's more to say about the MPRE than one might think.

Earlier: MPRE Results Are Out: Open Thread

Congratulations to everyone who passed the MPRE. Results were made available online earlier this afternoon.
As for those of you who failed, we could subject you to some good-natured ribbing in these pages. But we will refrain.
Instead, we're delegating that task to the commenters, on this open thread. As one reader noted in an email, "people love comparing scores and condescending to, or commiserating with, those who failed."
