STATISTICS COMPREHENSIVE
EXAMINATION RULES
The Comprehensive Theory
Exam is a four-hour close-book exam
covering Stat 563 - 564 topics. It is given during
the week preceding the Wednesday beginning of the
Fall semester. The exam is jointly written by two
faculty members and jointly graded by two faculty
members.
The Comprehensive Methods Exam is a
four-hour open-book exam covering Stat 572 and Stat
573 topics. (IGSP students may substitute a course
for Stat 573 with the approval of the MS committee)
This exam is given during the week preceding the
Wednesday beginning of Fall semester. The exam is
jointly written and jointly graded by two faculty
members.
Both exams typically require computer work.
A score of 70% is required to pass the Theory exam
and 70% is required to pass the methods exam. If a
student earns less than 70% on just one part, the MS
committee may give the student a Conditional Pass
and specify additional work to be done to be given a
passing grade, or the Graduate Committee may require
the student to retake that part. If the student
earns less that 70% on each part, the student must
retake the exam. Normally, retakes will be scheduled
for the next time the exam is offered, which is
expected to be at the beginning of the following
semester.
The Graduate School rules state that a student
failing the comprehensive exam twice is terminated
from the program.
