the way i see it is that it is more a way for the school to weed out students they don't want, rather than a way to teach the students more. also it seems to me that the non-prelim students will get a headstart with their second year research paper (or at least a vacation) during the summer after first year while the prelimmers spend the summer studying.

yea i ditto that.
U can relate that to a scenerio when a candidate is defending his/her master thesis or doctoral dissertation (oral presentation) and the candidate is being told that you are expected to answer any questions that may or maybe not part of the courses you have taken for that degree. Failure to answer the questions in a satisfactory manner might NOT get your degree LOL.
