Prelims Post

What’s a graduate student website without a blog post about taking prelims?

I took prelims a couple weeks ago. The reading lists were long but focused, the questions weren’t trying to trip me up, and my answers will be helpful in the long run.

There. I wrote about my prelims.

Here are some longer posts from other people about the process of taking prelim exams:

If I write a longer post about prelims in the future (maybe after they’ve been evaluated), I”ll talk a lot about the food I ate and how I took breaks by staring out the window at the pedestrian bridge that had an icy patch just big enough to capture three people in one day.
