P=NP 's dreams are becoming reality.
School: Yale

Required prelims: Macro and Micro

When taken: First attempt: Mid-May, following first year

Retakes: Late August, before second year

Score required to pass: 60% on both, but this sometimes gets lowered. You can pass them one at a time.

Link to old prelims: ERIC M BECKER | COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATIONS

Field exams: Two oral exams are required at the end of second year (or beginning of third). These can be taken any number of times, and one of the fields must have an empirical component. Also, there's a metrics paper due in the middle of third year.
