  1. preliminary exam

    A preliminary exam, also known as a prelim, is an examination taken by graduate students during the course of their studies, usually after they have completed coursework but before they begin their dissertation or thesis research. This exam tests the student's knowledge and understanding of their chosen field of study and their readiness to undertake independent research. It may be written, oral, or a combination of both, depending on the requirements of the specific academic program. The exam often serves as a deciding factor for whether a student may continue in their program of study.
