Topic 9: How to Answer an MPRE QuestionOn the MPRE, you will be faced with 60 multiple-choice questions in two hours. Understanding how to approach multiple-choice questions is critical to passing the MPRE. Having a good strategy to answer those questions will help improve your score tremendously.

Topic 7: MPRE Topic Frequency Chart The best way to study smart for the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) is to focus on the topics that are highly tested.
