Dr. Brandy Gamblin, Ph.D. in Chemistry, knows firsthand how overwhelming the patent bar exam can be. Like many test-takers, she found herself lost in dense legal jargon and complex rules—until she developed a faster, smarter way to break it all down.

Her scientific problem-solving mindset and decades of experience teaching students how to excel on standardized exams led her to uncover hidden patterns in how the patent bar is structured. She realized that hidden within most answer choices are “Easter Eggs”—specific jargon lifted directly from the MPEP. When students know which chapter is being tested, they can search that chapter using these Easter Egg phrases to instantly land on the correct answer—often verbatim.

This is an open-book test, after all. Many students have been told they’ll only have time to look up one or two questions—but that’s simply not true. With the right method, you can confirm nearly every answer in the MPEP—quickly and confidently.
