I would venture to say anyone in the top 20 or so percentile intelligence-wise, with a college degree, would have a decent shot to pass a bar exam with two months of intensive study.
Ranger School would likely be a much tougher go with that time to prepare.

Frank Abignale failed it twice but passed it the third time after only eight weeks of study (while also pretended to be a PanAm pilot). He was a 19 year old high school dropout at the time.

3 years of material in 60 days? Not easy.
What they did before they changed the format was teach what had been on prior exams, that wont work anymore.

Without law school? No way.
I knew a couple people that failed, one was law review and in all cases it was a result of a failure to prepare, which is a check in the negative column for a future lawyer.

No chance.
These are not exactly airtight conversions but the 80th percentile for IQ is about 115 (top 20%). The LSAT/IQ conversion puts an IQ of 115 at an LSAT score of 142. That's extremely low. Most people who get a 142 on the LSAT either don't make it in a law school or enroll at some very low end school like Southern whose bar passage rates after three years of intense study is below 50%.
