Default Re: Average SMP IQ.

Yeah, I went through two weeks or so of crazy studying before my quals, and that ended up being the year that the difficulty took a decided downturn - I honestly think I could have done well enough to pass straight out of undergrad. In one nice wrinkle, though, the department had been given some money a while before to give a prize each year in "classical physics." Lacking any sense for what they should do with this, they decided to give it each year to the highest scoring participant on the non-QM part of our quals. Ship the $1k; the keg for the party was on me.

(EDIT: Also, 24 hours? Jesus. Ours were eight over two days.)
