According to wikipedia:

"In the United States, all told, the education after high school is typically 13 years in duration (4 years undergraduate training + 4 years medical school + 4 years residency (in anatomic and clinical pathology) + 1 year forensic pathology fellowship). Generally, the biggest hurdle is gaining admission to medical school, although the failure rate for anatomic and forensic pathology board examinations (in the U.S.) is approximately 30-40 and 40-50 percent, respectively."

Edit on title: it is rate, not rat...ha

According to the ABP Examiner, the 2008 failure rate for first time forensic pathology testers was 0%, and 29% for repeaters. The corresponding failure rates for anatomic pathology were 12% and 56%, respectively.

Sounds to me the wiki author failed the forensics and the AP exam.
