   As the current system can get a candidate with no prior technical   
   knowledge through all three exams, one can only wonder how much easier   
   it could get. Name, address, Social Security number, perhaps?   
      
   Which reminds me, when are you going to progress beyond your M3?

   "RSGBTech is meant for everyone", claims the RSGB. It is moderated   
   to keep 'the questions are on topic', Yet the admissions policy also   
   mentions   
   but does not define (a pre-) 'vet', 'known', 'trouble', and 'maker', and is   
   silent on the vetting policy!   
   These are not 'moderation' issues and not part of the RSGB's Guidelines.
