Patent bar practice exam

Answer in brief

A realistic patent bar practice exam is timed, split into AM and PM sessions, and taken with only a digital MPEP open. Sit several full practice exams in the final weeks, and review every missed question against the MPEP section that governs it.

What makes one realistic

Two timed three-hour sessions.
An MPEP viewer like the test center's, with no other materials.
Current, post-AIA questions mixed with real released ones.
Results broken down by MPEP chapter.
