Types of MPT Questions & Tasks
Each MPT question contains a drafting assignment… also called a “Task”. For example, examinees may be asked to draft a memorandum, brief, or any other “lawyerly task.”
The Task assigned varies per MPT question. To date, 11 different types of Tasks have been tested.
MPT Frequency Chart
The chart below shows just how often each Task was tested.
As you can see, certain Tasks have been tested much more often than others. For example, examinees were asked to draft an Objective Memorandum on 50+ MPT questions… that’s almost half of the total MPT questions administered!
Even though you must practice each type of Task, you should prioritize the MPT Tasks tested most often by the bar examiners. You can use the MPT Frequency Chart above to focus your studying.
