B.R. 52.1. The Board acknowledges that Rubenstein has satisfied each of the requirements of Supreme Court Rule 52 and achieved a passing score on the Professional Conduct Examination.

The Bar Examination consists of two sections: the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE) administered by the National Conference of Bar Examiners and twelve essays on certain enumerated subjects, as determined by the Board. B.R. 52.4(b). An applicant shall be deemed to have passed the Bar Examination if he [or she] achieves a scaled score of not less than 130 on the MBE and an average of not less than 65.0 on all of the twelve essay questions on the Bar Examination. B.R. 52.4(c). The latter provision is subject to the additional requirement that the applicant shall not have received a grade of less than 65.0 on more than five of the said essay questions. Id.
