Comments neither subtle or condescending more tongue in cheek and hoping the readers have a sense of humour.
Regarding the issue between FAA and EASA. In my general view it appears with the introduction of the Part 66 licence, the syllabus for the european licence issue is a mirror copy of what is laid out by the FAA. The only problem is for each governing body to find a common ground to accept that the educational standard is equivalent in both cases. The only difference as all ways is the aviation law part.
As for the examination questions I would welcome EASA publishing the complete database question bank it would give everyone an insight of what is required. If memory serve me right the A and P question bank is over 2500 and if you can memorise all of those questions you deserve to pass the exam
When I took my licence it was multi choice, 4 written and the dreaded oral those were the days
