Push back test date?

Hi, I had my test date booked for next thursday, and I felt semi confident after getting a 69% on the last practice test I took (50 questions). However, I don't feel like it's the best place to be in 2 weeks out from the test. I thought. I could maybe ride it out and just do a lot of studying before the test, but I'm not sure that it's worth the gamble. Any advice on if I should change the date or not? My window closes Oct. 25. Also, I work full time, so studying is a bit hard for me. I try and do an hour a day and sometimes practice tests on the weekend, but I've ran out of the official tests. I can afford the retake, but i would like to not have to pay $500 more hahaha

Anyone qualify for Category B via online post-bacc courses (Portage Learning, SCUHS, UNE Online, etc.)?

I’m looking to fulfill Category B’s science credits through online post-bacc coursework. I've specifically been looking at Portage Learning, SCUHS, and UNE Online.

The part I’m stuck on: the GRB requires that course descriptions submitted with the application include pages showing the course’s requirements for the major. Since these are post-bacc programs, they don’t have major requirement listings the way a traditional degree program does.

Has anyone successfully gained patent bar eligibility via Cat B with online courses like these specifically (NOT online community college courses)?

Also, before anyone jumps in with whether Category B is even a smart way to go in terms of marketability to firms, I’ve already gotten interest from firms, so that’s not really what I’m asking about here.

Has anyone used PrepPatentBar?

Was doing some searching and found this program online with a free trial. I take the exam in July and was wondering if this is good enough to drill with as the explanations are actually way more thorough than those in PLI. If anyone has any opinions or has actually passed using this that'd be great to hear about

10 Week Study Plan Tips

Hello, just signed up for a july 24 date and wanted to know what i should do until then to prepare. I’ve been studying on and off for almost a year but really focused in the past month. Im scoring about 50, but i’m hesitant to use any of the PLI full tests until i get closer to the exam (i’ve used one full test). Currently, I’m just running through drills i’m creating on patware and creating a wring answer journal and looking up answers. is this sufficient? im unsure of what else i can/should do tbh
