Do you think you can pass any licensure exams...  

I can't pass I think in just relying on my present academic knowledge. I have been good in my high school years but I didn't do good in college. My IQ had gone down in my college and this was due to the depression that hit me. I can't really pass without any educational background but if I am genius I'm sure I can pass Law or CPA even without the required prerequisite degree.

i think i would be able to pass any exams if i wanted to. i just did not choose to study any course that will require board exams because i think that will just be a waste of time when i can already find myself a work.

No, I don't think that I can pass any licensure exams without taking any formal education on the subject. Even if we say one is very knowledgeable on the said topic, one needs to research and study really to grasp details. BAR exams are really hard and I know that because my dad is a lawyer and he spent months to study for the BAR exams and he also knows people who have taken the exams a couple of times and the still could not pass it. In exams, you are not only presented with situations and asks you how to deal with it but their are also terms that you have to familiarize yourself with.

I think not because the content of the examinations would be different from what you have learned/ mastered in your specific field of study. Not unless someone's a genius.

Could I pass?? Not by any stretch of the imagination...lol. The way I like to shop, you wouldn't want me handling your money.

On the other hand, I have known several people who have studied independantly and have passed the BAR exam. I took them about the same time to study, as in going to law school. It must take a passion for the subject and a lot of dedication to study, more difficult because of lack of structure that a good school gives you.

I don't think you can pass any licensure exam without taking formal education classes on the subject matter. The only exception would be if you have extensive hands-on experience in the field--then you could probably pass an exam.

First of all, the review booklets or courses for examinations are just that--for review. They assume you are already familiar with the subject matter. It would not be possible to learn everything you'd need to know for an examination from just a review booklet or course.

Secondly, licensure examinations are becoming much more complicated these days. These exams are not simply comprised of things such as vocabulary. Instead, the questions are conceptual--you have to demonstrate that you can apply theory in any given situation. In order to do that, you have to be thoroughly knowledgeable in the subject matter. In my opinion, it would be very hard to do that without taking formal education or having hands-on experience in the field.

I doubt it very seriously. Without knowledge of the subject you are testing on how could you possibly answer the questions?

What prompted you to ask this?

No I can't but I do know a friend of mine that could pass the CPA one. When it comes to numbers we all just sit and watch him. He is fast and add minus and all that without paper and it is cool. I take him to the store with me so I don't over spend. You have a great day

Hi modstar.
I would have to be like the character of Leonardo diCaprio in Catch Me If You Can to be able to pull out a stunt like that.
Thanks. Have a great weekend!

I don't think I can. Come to think of it, if many of those who studied a particular for four years or more and get a board or Bar exam don't pass the licensure exam, how much more me?
