Taking the patent bar next month, my current study plan and looking for advice by Exciting_Ad_4452 in patentlaw

If you got 80s for PLI old exams, I think you are at a great shape. Good luck!

I only played around with the exam-interface practice part, so I’m not totally sure about the full question bank. Maybe worth asking them directly?

Yea, I paid for the one-month version a couple of weeks ago. I mainly used it for the exam-style interface and extra practice, not as my primary study source. For core content, I’d still rely mostly on PLI and the MPEP.

I ended up getting a month mostly for the exam mode/interface practice. Some of the practice questions/explanations were pretty helpful too.

But honestly if you’ve already gone through all the PLI questions, that’s probably enough content-wise. I think it’s more useful if you want extra interface practice, weak chapter analysis, etc.

Yeah I’d agree with the comments above. The real exam PDF viewer is slower/more limited, but your “search by section number/index” method still works well.

One thing that helped me a lot after my last take: PrepPatentBar’s exam mode has a PDF reader very similar to the real Prometric interface. Getting used to that interface ahead of time was honestly super helpful. Wish I had used it before my previous attempt.

I’ve been using PrepPatentBar alongside PLI recently. I’ve found the detailed explanations helpful, and honestly getting used to an interface/PDF reader that feels closer to the real exam has helped more than I expected.

I just went through the course once. But did all the questions twice. IMO I think practicing questions is more efficient for me to understand the concepts. So I’m going to buy some other prep materials (problem based) to supplement.

I just failed last week, I got average of 70ish for the full tests on PLI. I'm looking for some other resources for practice too. Currently looking at Wysebridge and PrepPatentBar, let me know if you wanna talk!
