Coffee-break questions
Coffee-break questions are straightforward questions that require a simple yes/no answer. When you sign up for this service, we will send you a question every three days via e-mail, along with the answer to the previous question.
Note to subscribers
If you do not receive the coffee break questions anymore, the question loop needs to be restarted. Please write to epo-support@arrabiata.de and let us know which question you received last, and we‘ll restart the cycle where you left it. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Daily D questions
For something more challenging, you can sign up for our Daily D questions. Starting on 28 September, you will be sent a question a day for twelve weeks. You can upload your answers to a forum for assessment by a tutor, who will post the correct answers in the forum at the end of each week.

Preparing to sit the EQE exam
The main EQE examination consists of four papers ranging from drafting applications to answering legal questions. It is very important to learn not only how to tackle these papers, but also how to complete them within the time available. In this learning area, you will find tips and tricks as well as some examples - all based on candidates’ and tutor’s experiences - to help you plan your strategy for each paper.
Time limit questions
A large number of the legal questions in the main EQE examination papers deal with deadlines under the EPC. This section contains exercises to help you practise calculating time limits at different stages in the grant, opposition and appeal procedures.
Practicing for the EQE pre-examination paper
This section provides an online taste of the real exam conditions using a set of mock pre-examination papers, including the previous year’s edition, together with a timer and feedback on the answers.
