(b) The MPRE may be taken prior to or after the Bar Examination. An Applicant must pass the MPRE examination within three years before the Bar Examination or obtain the results of the MPRE within six months after taking the Bar Examination in order to comply with the time restrictions prescribed in Rule 75-2(a).
