10 TIPS ON HOW TO PASS PHD COMPREHENSIVE EXAM
2
TAKE NOTES
1
  • It is best to form a note taking system. You can
    place tags on every section so you are able to
    find them easily. Make sure you write down as
    detailed as possible. This will be helpful when
    you have an open book exam.
  • Or perhaps it is best to get help from online
    professional services for your comprehensive
    final exam.

3
EDUCATE YOURSELF
2
  • While you are reading and taking down your notes,
    be sure that fill in knowledge gaps. Where else
    do you need more information or if there is a
    need to search for more sources.
  • Reading a lot is the best comprehensive exam
    preparation you can do to pass it.

4
KEEP IN TOUCH WITH YOUR ADVISERS
3
  • Stay in touch with your advisors during the
    course of the process, so that you can be sure
    that you have both the same expectations about
    the exam. Talk over the format of the exam at the
    first meeting.
  • If you know how the exam is structured then you
    can help you to review strategically for the
    comprehensive final examination.

5
ALLOT YOUR TIME REVIEWING
4
  • It is advised to allot more time in reviewing or
    reading. One to two months or at least 2 weeks
    before your scheduled exam, is the best period to
    review your notes and to start synthesizing
    ideas, or arguments which is an important skill
    to develop for your comprehensive exam MBA.

6
READ BOOK REVIEWS
5
  • Read the introduction of the book then read book
    reviews. Look for how the author of book sees in
    correlation with historiography, and what
    questions interest the author and the reviewers.
  • It is better to also find reviews from scholars
    as this may give you a chance to site them and
    may use the in your conversation during your MBA
    comprehensive exam.

7
ENACT
6
  • Enact what can possibly happen in your
    comprehensive final exam. Practice answering
    questions out loud. Hearing what you are saying
    can help retain information to your brain.
  • Also think that you are the committee member.
    This will help you to think critically about what
    more you must read.

8
KEY TERMS
7
  • Be sure that you have a good chunk of knowledge
    to define or explain key terms and theoretical
    concepts in your fields.
  • This can help you in expounding your arguments
    effectively during your MBA comprehensive exam
    case study.

9
REPHRASE
8
  • Rephrase the question before giving your answer,
    as this may prevent the committee to interrupt
    you with a rephrase of the comprehensive exam
    questions and end up with no answer.
  • This is also good to help you understand fully
    the question thrown at you.

10
ORAL EXAMS
9
  • Watch over comments on your written exams as they
    will come up. And prepare to address unanswered
    question if you have the chance.
  • You can get PhD professional writing services
    online, to give you hand on your preparation for
    your examination.

11
GIVE LONG(ISH) ANSWERS
10
  • During the oral exam part of your comprehensive
    exam MBA, give long(ish) answers. Since short
    answers may lead to a nerve-wracking rapid fire
    questioning. But be sure that all you say are
    interrelated.
  • Also try connecting your field and show how
    readings in different areas link and/or inform
    one another.
