  1. 81% first-attempt pass rate vs. a 47% USPTO average

    81% of Wysebridge students pass on their first attempt. The USPTO average (2012–2025) sits at 47%. That gap reflects a curriculum built specifically around the 3,000+ questions — 899 official USPTO exam questions + 419 USPTO-derived + 2,240 Wysebridge-authored post-AIA — that define what the USPTO actually tests — not a generic quiz platform repurposed for patent law.

  2. 899 official questions from all 18 released USPTO exam administrations

    Our question bank includes 899 official questions drawn from all 18 released USPTO patent bar exam administrations (1999–2003) — same phrasing, same answer choices, same difficulty as the real exam. An additional 2,240 Wysebridge-authored questions cover post-AIA law to ensure every topic on the current exam is fully covered.

  3. Every explanation cites the MPEP

    Every answer explanation in Wysebridge shows you exactly which MPEP section applies. You don't just learn that an answer is correct — you learn the rule behind it, where it lives in the MPEP, and how the USPTO interprets it. That's what moves your score from marginal to passing.

  4. Prometric-style exam simulator

    Our simulator closely replicates the Prometric interface: split-pane layout, question numbering and flagging, MPEP search panel, AM and PM session structure, and strict 3-hour timing per session. Candidates who train in realistic conditions perform dramatically better under real exam conditions.

  5. Adaptive study that finds your gaps

    Our AI-powered study sessions identify the chapters where you're losing points and serve targeted questions automatically. You spend your time on what you don't know — not reviewing what you've already mastered. The more you study, the more precisely the platform routes you.

  6. Built for working professionals

    Enter your target exam date and how many days a week you can study — Wysebridge builds a fully personalized schedule around your life. Every testable MPEP section is covered in exam-frequency order, with built-in review weeks and full-length simulations. No six-month sabbatical required.

  7. Chapter heatmaps show you what to prioritize

    Our exam heatmaps visualize which MPEP chapters have appeared most frequently across every USPTO exam administration. Chapter 2100 accounts for roughly 32% of all questions. Chapter 700 adds another 21%. Your study time should reflect that — and Wysebridge shows you exactly where to focus.

  9. We stand behind the program with a guarantee

    Patent Bar One-Pay includes 12 months of access. If you need more time, contact us (and if you attempted the exam and didn't pass, let us know) and we extend your access for another year, and keep extending it one year at a time until you pass. We're confident enough in the results to put that in writing.

  10. Trusted since 2012

    Wysebridge has been preparing patent bar candidates for over a decade — 6,000+ students across thousands of first-attempt outcomes. We've refined the program through real exam results, not assumptions about what might work.

“Wysebridge was without a doubt the best source of material for preparing for the Patent Bar in a crunch and under a budget. With the lack of information and/or misinformation about this test, Wysebridge cuts through the MPEP and gives you the tools you need to pass the test on your first attempt. I finished the exam KNOWING I passed. Can't recommend this program highly enough.”
