Must I take the MPRE before I file my application?
The MPRE may be taken either before or after you file an application for admission in Colorado; however, you should register for the next scheduled MPRE as soon as possible after filing an application. Final approval for admission to practice law in this state will be held in abeyance until valid MPRE scores have been received from the National Conference of Bar Examiners and verified by the Office of Attorney Admissions. See C.R.C.P. 211.3(1) and (2) regarding time limits for taking the oath of admission.
My MPRE Score is more than 2 years old, is it valid?
Passing MPRE scores are valid if achieved at an exam taken no more than two years prior to filing an application for admission in Colorado.

How do I send my MPRE score to you?

My MPRE score is missing from my application. What do I need to do?
