This can very from jurisdiction to jurisdiction we had to show proficiency from 1-31 at our local consistory then a class president from each consistory was chosen to demonstrate s , g , pw , & sw for the class as a whole at the COD workshop and everyone had to take a final multiple choice exam 40 questions but there is no Q&A section for each degree as in 1-3 . I don't see this being done for those who go through a reunion 1-3 days we took the long route about 6 monthsThat is not the case. There is no memorization work in the Scottish Rite unless you end up taking a part in a degree.
