Actual exam questions were easier than the ones in the book.

No. Don’t just rely on the book questions. Try to practice as much questions as possible. Importantly, try to do a 4-hour practice exam a few times. It might be tiring to sit for that stretch for the first time.

the exam was pretty well aligned. couldn't tell you if it was the exam or the book, if you didn't tell me which was from which

just do as many question banks as you can. there are a bunch of apps and online course through the normal providers.

it's a test that is all about how questions are presented and how the "theory" aligns. forget all real world shit that actually works.

very easy to pass

I downloaded the one from internet and it seems VERY difficult and not even close to the ones from the app :/

I didn’t have Rita books but I remember thinking the exam questions were way different than whatever it was I had practiced with.

A friend is considering deferring an offer (stem PhD) for 1 year straight out of undergrad to work in NY, either in a research institution or a biotech. She does not have any real work experience outside of her lab (3 years) and an adjacent internship. Another factor is she is just generally feeling burnt out on school after the last few years.
To what extent did you find that a year or two of work impacts prospects coming out of PhD? How might a year off from school impact her PhD work itself?

I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
