Navigate the MPEP 9th Edition exactly as Prometric presents it — same chapter structure, same search behavior, same PDF layout. Get comfortable before the clock starts.
Free account · no credit card · access MPEP simulator instantly
On the real exam, you open a chapter first — then search within it. Cross-chapter search isn't available. Neither here. That's intentional.
The MPEP isn't just a reference. On the patent bar it's your only tool. Knowing how to navigate it quickly under pressure is half the battle.
Authentic Prometric interface
Same Windows-style chrome, same blue title bar, same gray toolbar. If you've used our simulator, the real exam won't feel foreign.
All 34+ chapters and appendices
Every MPEP chapter — 100 through 2900 — plus Appendices I, II, L, R, and T. Same official USPTO PDFs used on the exam.
Search within chapters
Type a term, find every page in that chapter that contains it. Navigate matches with prev/next — exactly as the real MPEP search works.
Page thumbnail navigation
Scroll the thumbnail sidebar to jump anywhere in a chapter at a glance. Search results highlight in orange so you never lose your place.
Matches exam constraints
Cross-chapter search isn't available here — because it isn't on the real exam either. Select your chapter first, then search. Build the habit now.

Why this matters
The patent bar is open-book — but "open-book" doesn't mean easy if you don't know where to look. Candidates who've practiced navigating the MPEP ahead of time spend their time answering questions, not hunting for chapters.
This simulator exists so that on exam day, the MPEP is familiar territory.
Is this the actual MPEP used on the exam?
Yes — same edition (9th, Rev. 07.2022), same official USPTO PDFs. The interface is styled to match the Prometric PDF viewer candidates use during the actual patent bar.
Do I need to pay to use it?
No. Create a free Wysebridge account and the Exam Replica MPEP is available immediately from your dashboard. No credit card required.
Why can't I search across all chapters at once?
Because the real Prometric interface doesn't allow it either. You must select a chapter from the dropdown first, then search within it. We match that constraint intentionally so you build the right habits.
How is this different from just downloading the MPEP PDFs?
The interface replicates the exam environment — full-text search within chapters, page thumbnail navigation, and the exact same visual chrome. It's designed to reduce cognitive load on exam day by making the interface feel familiar.
Can I use this while doing practice questions?
Yes. During practice exams and question sessions, the MPEP viewer also opens as a draggable panel alongside your questions — exactly like the real exam experience.
Ready for the full experience?
MPEP search practice is most effective inside a complete exam simulation. Use the USPTO Patent Bar Exam Demo to practice deciding when to search, when to move forward, and when to return to a difficult question.
