consist in

[Mnemon]

Knowledgeability does not consist in degrees.

Does the sentence work for you?

 

[5jj]

No. I don't know what you mean. Can you try to say it in another way?

Can you try to say it in another way?

OK. Let me give it a bash.

Knowledgeability does not consist in degrees.

- Knowledgeability does not entirely depend on degrees.
- Degrees are not the primary element of knowledgeability.

By degrees I mean the academic degrees given by a university or college like MSc or BSc.

Who wrote the sentence?
Try "being knowledgeable".
"Consist" and "element" are wrongly used. "Depend on" is good. Try to use simple words.
