MPRE Examination Fees

For applications that are mailed, all fees must be paid in the form of a personal or business check, cashier's check, money order, or certified check, payable in U.S. dollars and drawn on a bank in the United States. Checks should be made payable to the National Conference of Bar Examiners. Cash will not be accepted. Online registrations must be paid with a credit card (MasterCard or VISA). Application materials that include insufficient or improper payment will not be processed. ALL FEES ARE NONREFUNDABLE.

For applications received on or before the regular receipt deadline, the fee for the MPRE is $63. For those who apply after the regular receipt deadline but before the late application receipt deadline, the fee is $126. Fees for online registration will be calculated automatically, based on the date of submission. This fee entitles you to receive a copy of your scores and to have a copy sent to the board of bar examiners of the jurisdiction you indicate on your answer sheet on test day. A copy of your scores will also be kept on file in Iowa City, Iowa. A $25 fee will be assessed for checks or credit card payments returned because of insufficient funds or stop payments. Scores for the current administration or any future MPRE examination will not be released until all fees are paid in full.

Reapplication Fee

If, for some reason, you are unable to take the examination on the test date for which you are scheduled, or if you do not attain a passing score on the MPRE, you must reapply for another scheduled examination. To do so, you must complete a new Application Form and submit it along with the full fee.
