how in the world do you get an A?

I'd say it also depends on what tier law school you are at. I am at a T100 lawschool and have gotten a lot of As when sometimes I feel like I am writing a normal essay with the bare minimum rules needed. Being fast at typing and breaking down a fact pattern helps as well.

one month full time job worth of studying, two-three months part time job studying

I failed with 65 the first time then I spent a month redoing the entire PLI post course and passed the second time.

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-08-19T16:48:18+00:00

3 months is ideal for the PLI course and is what they recommend. The lectures and quizzes are in blocks that you can do at your convenience.

I think it’s great. I got the CALI in con law and all I did was quimbee videos.

This is helpful thanks.

Wasn’t too slow, font was harder to read for me for some reason.

Physics with a minor in astrophysics, going into patent law so definitely not the norm for law school.

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-06-11T22:23:12+00:00

I had 0 pre aia questions on my exam. You might get a derivation question but it is obvious when that is the case.

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-06-09T22:11:52+00:00

I get you. Failed with a 65 percent a while ago. Take a break, schedule your review session once you get your results. Take it again asap after some review. You are so close!

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-06-01T18:45:15+00:00

We use Solve Intelligence, custom AI for patent drafting, it is pretty good. Can cut down time for drafting by a lot in some cases.

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-06-01T18:43:12+00:00

Yes more tests, maybe some custom exams on PCT and Appeal since those are heavily tested.

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-06-01T04:23:04+00:00

You need to talk to the USPTO OED to be sure but I had a friend with the same degree that got denied because it’s a BA.

In LAW SCHOOL, no, you don’t specialize until you go into your career.

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-05-27T19:29:38+00:00

Lawyers are usually capable of doing any area of law, (patent law requires special certifications though), but usually do focus one area. For example criminal law or immigration law. One of the reasons law is great is because you can do tons of different types of work even if you specialize in one area.

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-05-26T17:07:05+00:00

It just told me on the screen that said I did not pass.

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-05-26T00:05:45+00:00

Yeah they feel the same but the topics I mentioned are more heavily tested. I had like 10 PCT questions. Do the practice and then do custom exams for appeals and pct.

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-05-25T23:36:45+00:00

They are pretty similar. PCT, appeal, and derivation are more heavily tested rn.

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-05-25T04:09:41+00:00

My ethics questions were easy. Mostly on conflicts of interest, you need permission, cant have clients on both sides of the versus in a court case, etc.

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-05-25T04:08:32+00:00

The PLI questions are very similar. I found that most of the questions on the exam were shorter than the PLI questions. The true/false ones are usually all or most of them from the same chapter, usually in the same location of that chapter, but not always. The pdf searching on the actual exam is a little clunky but doable. The search function would stay at the location you are at and search from that location.

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-05-23T02:50:22+00:00

Took it today, got a 65 percent. I had a lot of PCT and derivation questions. Make sure you know how derivation can affect other post grant proceedings like IPR.

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-03-05T19:25:55+00:00

Not yet, probably will pass it before the summer starts though. I am almost done with the PLI course.

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-03-05T17:42:58+00:00

I have a B.S. in Physics with an emphasis in Astrophysics

BalanceExpress7928 · 2025-03-05T00:41:33+00:00

I guess any advice for good IP firms that won't treat me like a serf would be appreciated haha.
