How to Prepare for the Exams

The Bankruptcy Petition Specialist™ exams are taken online and are open-book. The exams are based entirely on the training materials offered by 713 Training (www.713training.com).

A solid understanding of our Complete Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 Training Course is what is needed to pass. Because the exams are based on our training materials, they are not something a student can simply “test out” of — they require genuine familiarity with the course material they are based on.

3.The exam is comprised of 12 timed quizzes, each allowing 15–60 minutes to complete. Once you start a quiz you must finish it — however, you do not need to complete all quizzes in one sitting.
