I've been a VE for over a decade now. No, you cannot take just the
elements for a particular grade of license and become that license class.
To earn to Technician license you must pass element 2
To earn a Tech + you must pass elements 2 and 1 (5 WPM code)
To earn a General class license you must pass elements 1, 2 and 3
To earn Amateur Extra you must pass elements 1, 2, 3 and 4
If you walk into a VE session without a license; and all you do is take,
and pass, elements 1 and 3 then all you get is a very nice Certificate
of Completion, which is good for 365 days. At some point within that
year, you must take and pass element 2 to complete the process and earn
your license. The same goes for all the other classes, accordingly.
Hope this clears the matter up for everyone.
