The latest in computer adaptive test preparation

Here’s a nice world map of locations from which students have accessed our CATprep tests over the past 30 days. Thanks to all of you for your support of the most accurate computer adaptive test preparation software available for the #GRE test, #GMAT, and Patent Bar exams. Best of luck in your preparations!

Map of CATPrep Student Locations for past 30 days

We’ve just release a new version of our Patent Bar Simulator and it is available now on CATPrep.com. This update includes better support for Internet Explorer 8 and Microsoft Windows 7.

We get regular queries from candidates for the USPTO Patent Registration Exam asking about the question sets and answers used in our Patent Bar Simulator offerings.

Typically, we do not modify the original exam questions in any way. If subsequent MPEP updates invalidate a question, then we simply flag that question and accept all answers for scoring purposes. The primary intent of our simulator is to enable candidates to practice with a similar interface as the one used during the official USPTO exam and to offer such a practice under timed conditions.

Recently, Bob F. wrote:

Does your course offer background information about the MPEP? Do you provide a MPEP manual? How does your software compare to Patent Bar Prep courses that charge 600.00 to 2500.00 dollars?

Do I need a more extensive course in addition to your services?

We responded to Bob’s queries with the following:

“Our service is intended to emulate the USPTO’s computer-delivered Patent Bar exam as closely as possible. We offer a test simulator, but not a course. The need for supplementary material is unique to each student. Most students find that well over half of their actual test questions appear in our material (because we use actual test questions from previous years). If you haven’t already seen it, you would probably benefit greatly from this long-running thread on intelproplaw.com

“I am planning to take the Patent Bar this summer and interested in your Patent Bar Simulator. Do the answer explanations provided by your software include references to corresponding content in the MPEP?

Cheers,
Peter B.”

Thanks for your interest Peter. Yes, our explanations include the correct answers with references (actual section numbers) to specific MPEP content. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
