I took the north carolina mpje last thursday. I had taken the prep course with tom thutt who teaches the 2 day prep course at campbell and unc campuses. I studied for a good week and half. 6-7 hours a day. I read his binder 3 times front to back while also studying the frequently asked questions on ncbop.org. Couldnt sleep the night before the test and was fasting due to our holy month. The questions on the test were 60-70% select all that apply and the rest were direct questions. Majority of the test questions were scenario based questions. I felt exhausted taking that test as i had gone to school in virginia and was not too familiar with nc laws. I missed two questions on the test because i ran out of time. I told myself if i pass, i will come here and give any tips or leave my story behind for whomever might be in a situation similar to mine.
Take out two weeks study time. Read the frequently asked questions and study them. Read the laws over And over again.
I thought i had failed the test, but got the results back today, I passed with a 76. I know its barely passing but thats what lack of sleep does sometimes. I literally felt like a zombie taking that test. The feeling of failing the test is normal once you walk out of the exam due to its nature of types of questions asked. If 90 questions out of 120 are select all that apply, that feeling of failure is inevident. But keep calm after the test, distract yourself for couple of days instead of stressing. Leave the rest to god.
