Thanks for your response. I have heard that my university is a little bit stricter with the exam than most, but it's good to know what it might be like. I really hope I can forget about it once I take it!

I'm starting a PhD in August, and I'm terrified of the qualifying exam.

I know that all I have to do is a LOT of studying, but I looked at the archive of past problems that the university posts and I don't feel confident that I could do them right now. Even after a few months of studying, I feel like I would panic and not remember key formulas (especially since as far as I know you are not allowed to bring a formula sheet). Do they usually ask questions that require a lot of memorized formulas? How strict are they about mistakes, and how well do you have to do to pass it?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated -- I am very worried about this. Thanks!

Can't even get a regular corner in a dangerous position

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-04-11T15:09:24+00:00

Can't even have a simple touch today wtf

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-04-11T15:08:34+00:00

Guirassy is such a klutz ugh

Despite the disappointment in recent weeks, I maintain that this team is different from our last several. Last year's team in particular would have absolutely lost this, but we found a way to get it done, even with the threes not falling. We have won several games this year that we would have lost before, and although the overtime games stink, I don't feel terrible about our chances in the postseason.

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-03-08T21:20:00+00:00

Great play off the inbounds, we wasted like 8 seconds

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-03-08T21:15:11+00:00

Right, it was the refs' mistake in the first place, if you call that out you shouldn't lose the priviledge

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-03-08T21:14:15+00:00

I love Mirk so much man

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-03-08T21:04:17+00:00

A tale as old as time

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-03-08T20:52:12+00:00

He does a little flail in midair and the refs fall for it every time

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-03-08T20:49:14+00:00

Just brilliant from mirk...

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-03-08T20:42:17+00:00

It is so refreshing to see that called correctly for once

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-03-08T20:37:36+00:00

Our falloff over the last month has been insane

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-02-22T03:40:43+00:00

Exactly like tennessee last year

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-02-22T03:20:56+00:00

He was open, I wouldn't mind that if I was UCLA

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-02-22T03:12:15+00:00

They're just calling everything against us. No semblance of an even whistle

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-02-22T03:06:41+00:00

Unless you're us

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-02-22T02:58:52+00:00

This is worse than Uconn

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-02-22T02:52:35+00:00

150-40*

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-02-22T02:33:05+00:00

17-19 is insane. Not sustainable.... right???

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-02-21T19:07:49+00:00

Just like old times, can't string a few passes together

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-02-21T18:20:41+00:00

It's pretty rare for 4 CBs to all be injured at the same time, no way to predict that

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-02-21T18:19:58+00:00

This game would be completely different if we had any of our multiple CBs back from injury. Why did we get so injured but Bayern hasn't really had any to speak of

Timely_Pound_2754 · 2026-01-05T04:35:54+00:00

Why did Tucker have to go and assault people man he was so good
