So, 700/750hrs total time and you skip the IR ground school and just turn up for the written exams. Not only that, but the writtens were not as big back then, I gather.
Before JAR you could do that anyway. Under the CAA system you could self-study for any written exam without the stupid requirement to go sit in a classroom.

The test used to be: Can you pass the test?

Now it is: Can you stomach x weeks in a classroom and pass the test?
