	Comprehensive examination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A comprehensive examination (or comprehensive exam or exams), often abbreviated as "comps," is a specific type of examination that must be completed by graduate students in some disciplines and courses of study.
		The form and general requirements for the comprehensive exam varies according to the faculty or department, degree sought, university, and country, but typically tests general knowledge of the subject area and may be used to determine a candidate's eligibility to continue their course of study.
		Comprehensive examinations are typically based on a reading list agreed upon by the student and his or her committee, which is staffed by the primary supervisor and several advisors, normally professors at the university, but not necessarily in the same faculty.
