Trevor B.
Benrishi Exam learner
“While preparing for BE, I keep a small list of mistakes from Design and Trademark Law. Reviewing why each answer went wrong keeps my study sessions more focused than simply rereading notes.”
Hannah T.
Benrishi Exam learner
“Great BE prep. Benrishi Exam was clear and easy to use!”
Elena G.
Benrishi Exam learner
“For BE, Treaties Copyright and Unfair Competition was the area I kept postponing. Breaking it into a few practice questions at a time makes the material much easier to revisit after work.”
Aisha M.
Benrishi Exam learner
“My BE routine is simple: one timed set, a short break, then a careful review of Procedure Analysis and Professional Reasoning. The explanations show whether I understood the idea or just guessed well.”
Maya R.
Benrishi Exam learner
“The BE practice questions kept my review focused.”
Priya R.
Benrishi Exam learner
“I use lunch breaks to review Patent and Utility Model Law for BE. Short sessions work better for me because I can focus on one weak area without trying to cover the whole syllabus at once.”
Tom H.
Benrishi Exam learner
“The hardest part of BE prep for me is keeping similar ideas in Design and Trademark Law separate. I now write one-line comparisons after each practice set, which makes the next review much clearer.”
Chris D.
Benrishi Exam learner
“Benrishi Exam made BE prep simple and easy to follow.”
Marcus T.
Benrishi Exam learner
“I am still working through BE, especially Treaties Copyright and Unfair Competition. Going back through missed questions slowly has shown me which details I rush past when I practice under time pressure.”
Grace L.
Benrishi Exam learner
“BE review felt much more manageable with these tools.”
“The well-structured practice questions help me prepare for the exam conveniently.”
“the practice questions are helpful similar to the topics covered in the real exams i love the detailed explanation provided right after each question”
“The practice questions, key study notes, and supportive staff all help me to pass the exam. And the best thing is, is that the questions are well-structured and similar to the ones on the actual exam.”
“The practice questions are superbly crafted, making exam preparation a breeze. The explanations provided after this question are like gold dust.”
“Thanks to the well-organized practice questions, I was able to tackle my exam preparations with ease. The questions are thoughtfully designed to closely resemble those in the actual exam.”
“the practice questions are incredibly helpful, closely resembling the real exam scenarios. There are very detailed explanations provided and actually studying has never been this efficient.”
Of course you can. Any exam can be prepared for independently. But you’ll spend weeks extracting key concepts from dense manuals, guessing which topics are actually tested, and hoping you covered enough.
Or you can let our full-time exam team do that heavy work for you — so you can focus on practice, pass on your first attempt, and spend your evenings with friends and family instead of buried in textbooks.
FAQ
No. It is a focused preparation package with frameworks, worked scenarios, an integrated practice task, and knowledge-check MCQs. The MCQs test supporting knowledge; they are not a simulation of the official essay or oral examination.
Memorise the core tests and their legal basis, but do not delay practice until every provision is memorised. Build a framework, apply it to facts, then return to the statute when your application exposes a gap. Essay marks depend heavily on issue selection and fact application.
Confirm the current elective options with the Japan Patent Office, then use the same issue-framework-application-conclusion method. Build a short framework for each elective topic, practise issue-spotting, and integrate the elective into timed answers so that you can allocate time across compulsory and elective issues.
No. The MCQs check supporting knowledge and application, not the full demands of a written essay. Use them to find gaps in rules, timing, and fact analysis, then write full answers under time and mark them with the self-check rubric.
Do not rely on memory. Identify the dependency in your answer and confirm the current requirement with the Japan Patent Office. In practice, explain why the deadline or fee matters to the client's position, while avoiding an invented current figure.
No. The 20 multiple-choice questions are original practice items designed to test supporting knowledge across the listed domains. They are not official past questions and should not be treated as a complete syllabus or a prediction of the examination.
When you’re preparing for an exam, the cost goes beyond study materials. It’s the evenings spent searching for answers, the uncertainty about whether you’re covering the right topics, and the possibility of paying for another exam attempt. Premium gives you a focused way to prepare. Practice questions and explanations help you check your understanding. Wrong-answer review and progress tracking show where to focus next. Flashcards, spaced repetition and timed mocks help you revisit difficult material and practise answering under pressure. The goal is to make your limited study time count—and build confidence from what you can actually answer, rather than how many hours you’ve spent reading. Better preparation can help reduce the risk of a costly retake and the extra time away from work, family or other goals. Think of Premium as an investment in your preparation and professional development: one organised system to help you use your time more effectively and approach exam day with greater confidence. Choose the certification and access period you need, with a one-time payment and no recurring subscription.
