How do questions on the comprehensive examination differ from essay questions on a final examination for a course?
Unlike final examination questions for a course, the comprehensive examination questions will not only require that you demonstrate your mastery of knowledge in a specific course but they will also require that you demonstrate your ability to draw upon and synthesize your knowledge of content across courses. For example, you may be asked to consider how content from one course (e.g., syntax) might be used to understand content from other courses (e.g., meaning and use). In this sense, try not to study only one set of course material in preparation for a specific content area of the examination; rather, try to draw connections between them.
