Andronicus is almost a TestMagic guru.
School: The Ohio State University

Required prelims:
Micro, Macro (called Qualifiers)

When taken:
First attempt is in mid-June, about 1 week after Spring quarter final exams.

Retakes: September, only retake one(s) you didn't pass the first time.

Score required to pass: Supposedly absolute scale, but in practice curved. Graded as either "PhD Pass" (required to continue in the program), "MA Pass" (required to get the master's degree), or "Fail". Usually the cutoffs for PhD Pass turn out to be around 50% for Micro and 67% for Macro.

Field Exams: Two at the end of 2nd year.
Old Exams: Only available to current students.
