Thank you very much, your answer is very helpful!

I have been working as a "technical consultant" (a.k.a. patent agent trainee) for about 3 years now, and the time has come for me to prepare for and sit the USPTO bar exam. Can anyone recommend a particular online prep course for the USPTO bar exam? People at my firm have recommended The...
