Take days, weeks, months if needed; the exam now fits into your busy professional schedule. You have the ability to retake the exam if you fail (up to 100 times). Passing grade is 80%. The questions are true/false and multiple choice. No essay. You are allowed to consult your notes, all courses on this website, the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, Attorney Schaller’s almost 354-page book titled: A Lawyer’s Guide to Filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy: Learning the Nuts and Bolts of Filing Your First Case, and Attorney Schaller’s 6-volume treatise titled: Bankruptcy Masterclass Practice System & Toolkit. National Bankruptcy Academy will provide a written certificate evidencing your accomplishment of earning the prestigious Bankruptcy Scholar certificate. The certificate is suitable for framing.
