“…One variable that impacts timing is the institutional, program or departmental policies and requirements. For example, Berkely’s PhD program in Mathematics QEs include a written preliminary exam before the end of the first three semesters and an oral QE that must be attempted by the end of Year 2 (Earl-Novell, 2006), one EdD program gives the QE in the spring semester of their second year, which is the last year of course work (McBrayer et al , 2020), marketing programs often have a first year QE and a second written QE due in Year 2 or 3 (Ponder et al , 2004) and QEs are typically given during the second year of most nursing PhD programs (Allard et al , 2021). Other possible variables that may impact timing of a particular student’s completion of QEs include individual student preparedness, bureaucratic/administrative challenges like getting the assessment committee together and lack of incentives to or penalties not to adhere to established timelines.…”

“…Nursing doctoral students also voiced a need to better understand evaluation criteria and exam outcomes, as variable QE experiences created a feeling of injustice and during preparation for the QE students exhibit the poorest well-being (i.e. highest stress levels and lowest satisfaction with program) (Allard et al, 2021). The interviewed nursing students suggested that more support would Exploration of qualifying exams de-stress the QE experience, such as senior student advice to help prepare for QEs as well as peer-study groups.…”

“…Similarly, 97% of reviewed comprehension and rhetoric programs gave no public statement on how exams are assessed (Estrem and Lucas, 2003). Nursing doctoral students also voiced a need to better understand evaluation criteria and exam outcomes, as variable qualifying exam experiences created a feeling of injustice and during preparation for the QE students exhibit the poorest well-being (i.e., highest stress levels and lowest satisfaction with program) (Allard et al, 2021).
