December 1, 2011: Chris continues taking simulated exams in preparation for the actual Exam on December 14.
December 8, 2011: Six days to go until the actual Exam! Chris focuses on questions relating to 35 CFR 102, takes some final simulated exams, and finds the location of the testing center.
December 14, 2011: Chris takes the Patent Bar Exam, and passes! In his own words: “I won’t say it’s not possible to pass the Patent Bar on the first try without the help of PRG, but I’m not sure I could have done it without everything they offer. Starting with the excellent Patent Bar Review course taught by Paul Gardner, and continuing with the videos, which I used to review some important lectures, and then, most of all, the ExamWare™ questions.”
