The Bar Exam is Hard
I know that I am a smart person, but I also know that in order to pass the patent bar exam, I have to do a lot of studying. It is a test that is made up of 100 questions. You only have to get 70% right, but the questions are not the easiest kind of questions to answer. There is just no way to know what to expect unless you take a course to help you prepare for a test this hard. Just the length of the test if grueling enough, so it helps to be as prepared as possible.
