You are misinterpreting what I am trying to convey. For CPA exam/BAR exam, the exams are used as a way to verify that you have some level of understanding on a subject. There are multiple parts to actually becoming a lawyer/CPA. The first part is passing the required exams. The second part is meeting all the requirements. What we need is a way for people to verify their knowledge. Take the exam, if you pass you get the certificate or similar. I am not talking about some sort of full blown professional certificate for every single profession. CPA/BAR exam was just an example obviously.
