The Bankruptcy Petition Specialist™ exam is taken online and is open-book. The exam is based entirely on the training materials offered by 713 Training (www.713training.com).
A solid understanding of our Chapter 7 Training Course is what is needed to pass. Because the exam is based on our training materials, it is not something a student can simply “test out” of — it requires genuine familiarity with the course material.

- 2.The exam is taken online and requires a computer with an internet connection.
- 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.
