USPTO Patent Bar Exam Demo
See what the Patent Bar Exam feels like before exam day. The Wysebridge USPTO Patent Bar Exam Simulator recreates the testing experience with realistic exam controls, timed sessions, patent bar questions, and direct access to an exam-style MPEP interface — so exam day feels familiar, not foreign.

The question bank
The USPTO has released official patent bar exam questions on only a handful of occasions. The last public release was in 2003. No new official questions have been released since — meaning the publicly available exam record is fixed and complete.
Wysebridge includes every question from every one of those official releases: eight full exam administrations from 1999 through 2003, covering both AM and PM sessions. That's 800 questions — the entire official question corpus that candidates have ever had access to.
We supplement them with 1,500+ additional questions written to cover post-AIA law and MPEP sections most heavily tested in the modern exam — bringing the total to 2,500 questions.

The history
In the early 2000s the USPTO periodically released past exam questions as study material. The final release came in 2003. Since then, the agency has kept all exam content confidential to prevent question-memorization strategies from replacing genuine legal knowledge.
What this means for prep
Any prep program selling "original" or "real" questions is drawing from the same pre-2003 pool. The actual advantage lies not in having the questions, but in understanding the rules they test — and how those rules have changed since 2003.
How we handle it
Wysebridge gives you all 800 official questions in full, then supplements them with 1,000 additional questions written to cover post-AIA updates. Together they provide the broadest preparation available for the current exam.
Updated for current law
Patent law has changed substantially since 2003. The America Invents Act, new MPEP editions, and revised examination guidelines have changed the correct answer to some of the original questions — even where the question text itself hasn't changed.
Wysebridge preserves every original question exactly as released. Then, for each question where the law has evolved, we provide an updated answer explanation that tells you:
Example — Question from 2002 exam
Its broadest reasonable interpretation consistent with the specification, as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. Answer C — unchanged under MPEP 9th Ed. (Sept. 2025) § 2111.
Same correct answer. Explanation updated to cite MPEP 9th Ed. (Sept. 2025 revision) rather than the 7th Ed. in use at the time.
Every question explanation links directly to the MPEP section it tests
