Patent Bar Forum

[mojotheamazing]

I am a 3L thinking of taking the patent bar in December before the new changes take place. Any advice on the best economic way to study in that short amount of time? I was thinking of OMNIPREP or wysebridge, but cant find any recent reviews.
I have some experience interning for patent firms.

best way is PLI

You can also pawn the PLI binder off someone for like free/dirt cheap, and try to get out of it for $0. I know 1 person that tried this. Don't think he took it yet though.

Other prep companies haven't done a great job keeping up with the updates I heard, but basically everyone I've ever talked to IRL has just done PLI. It makes it very fucking easy.

Just want to be sure everyone knows that the books only contain about half of the practice questions we assign in the course. The other half...and in fact the vast majority of the Exam-level-difficulty questions...are only available in the online software that comes with the course. It's unlikely that one would be able to pass with only what's in the book.

Passed this March with only what is in the book... Try to find old exams and work those until you know them like the back of your hand. Obviously you need to know the AIA and how that could change the answers to those questions in the old exams, but I saw at least 10 word for word repeats.
