You don't *memorize* the answers; you *know* them. And/or can *deduce* the correct answers from the information given. Surely, you haven't MEMORIZED the product of 122287 * 387234, have you? Yet, if you encountered that on an exam, I would assume you'd be able to suss out the correct answer! As to fees, I think the exam here (USA) is typically free (or close to it) as it is typically administered by local clubs. I'm not sure what the license *fee* is after having passed the appropriate exam (to determine your operating license class) > Also you must get over 85% to pass D'uh...

Sure!

One minute, you're complaining how HARD it is to pass the exam; then you're claiming its so EASY that it should be simply a matter of having enough money to BUY the license (yet you complained about the *price*, earlier).
