Is there any name given to phenomenon of the people who 'remember' information to get any degree such as a law degree?

There was a literary prize winner from west (east?) Africa who was that way. I have heard of others as well.

They get their information from "somewhere".

I heard of one person from Santa Cruz, CA who got law degrees, engineering certifications, etc. just by taking the exams. This particular person created Quantum Touch. He had a stack of various certifications, but was bored by it all. He said he just went quiet inside and the answers "came". No studying.

They pass any test just by taking it.
