Customer Feedback

Saturday, February 26th, 2011

We love helping our students meet their test day goals and really enjoy hearing feedback like the following response to our GRE customer satisfaction survey:

“I ordered two practice tests. One I did very well on, the other not so good. The experience of taking the timed tests helped me prepare for my GRE and I was able to meet my goals on test day.”

Customer Query: Disabled Popups

Friday, December 24th, 2010

A customer recently wrote us with the following: “I downloaded the software necessary for the simulated practice test demo, but it didn’t pop up in a different window.”

We responded by explaining that our practice test software does not need to popup in a new browser window in order to function. We do attempt to launch it in a new window for your convenience, but if the popup does not succeed due to your browser security settings or popup blockers, you will be presented with a page with a direct link to launch our practice test software.

Customer Query: Is your Patent Bar Material current?

Friday, May 11th, 2007

“I just received USPTO approval to take the patent bar exam and am looking for a good exam simulator. Do your answers and explanations reflect the changes in revision 4?”

-Nika T.

Hi Nika,
Yes, our answers and explanations are current with MPEP edition 8 revision 4 (the current revision used for the USPTO exam). We even offer some great MPEP study aids for revision 4 including quick search and a downloadable single-file version of the MPEP. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,
Rick Jones

GMAT Software Supports Candidates with Disabilities

New Software Aids GMAT Candidates with Disabilities

GMAT candidates who qualify for nonstandard testing options under the disability guidelines of the Graduate Management Admission Council now have the opportunity to practice under realistic conditions using the latest release of CAT Prep’s popular GMAT Simulator software.

September 9, 2004 — CAT Prep, an online educational software and services provider, today announced the immediate availability of the first GMAT simulator to provide authentic support for students with disabilities. This new version of CAT Prep’s simulator offers prospective business school candidates the ability to practice with the same nonstandard configuration options available to them when they sit for the actual GMAT.

“The Graduate Management Admission Council makes several accommodations available to test takers with documented disabilities, but until now, there have been no study-aids available to recreate these nonstandard accommodations. Candidates with disabilities have not had the opportunity to practice for the computer-adaptive GMAT under realistic conditions,” said Project Manager, Cindy Anderson. “CAT Prep is proud to be the first to introduce an authentic GMAT experience for the thousands of GMAT students with dyslexia, ADHD, physical impairments, or learning disabilities who qualify for special accommodations under GMAC’s guidelines.”

This latest release of the CAT Prep GMAT Simulator also accounts for the rule change of July 1, 2004 that specifies test takers who have been approved for extended testing time due to qualifying disabilities will be accommodated on a section-by-section basis when they sit for the GMAT. To support this change in GMAT Disability Services’ guidelines, the simulator allows qualifying candidates to adjust the time allotted for each section of the GMAT based on the nature of their disability.

The new version of the popular GMAT simulation software is available to students and instructors worldwide and allows non-disabled and disabled GMAT candidates to practice sitting for the GMAT under the same conditions they will experience when they sit for the actual exam.

More information and access to the simulator software is available on the CATPrep.com GMAT Simulator Homepage. Instructors, tutors, or other third-party resellers interested in incorporating the software into their course offerings should visit the GMAT Service Providers Homepage for more details.

Announcing Patent Bar Exam Simulation Software

Wednesday, August 18th, 2004

We are proud to announce the release of our USPTO Registration Exam Simulator:

The United States Patent and Trademark Office replaced the traditional semi-annual paper-based Registration Exam (Patent Bar) with a computerized year-round offering in the summer of 2004. Upstart Raising provides an emulation of the USPTO patent bar testing software as an aid to prospective registration examinees who wish to practice for the patent bar under the most realistic conditions available outside of the actual exam. Our software mirrors the basic functionality and navigational controls of the new patent bar testing software and combines this authentic recreation with actual USPTO test questions to provide a completely realistic testing environment.

All of our patent bar exams have been updated to reflect the changes to the law and the rules brought about by the American Inventor’s Protection Act of 1999. Our software grades each completed test session and provides the correct answers alongside explanations for each question. Additionally, each completed test session is saved and made accessible for review at any time. Instructors, tutors, and their students can easily take advantage of this feature to simultaneously review completed test sessions in distributed classroom environments or traditional settings.

You can download or read more about our Patent Bar Simulator here.
