Ah, yaar, don't ask! The comprehensive exam is this massive test to see if we know enough to continue the PhD, and usually you get two attempts. If you fail twice... well, let's just say the department starts looking at you like a bad loan at the bank! But my seniors say even after two fails, you can sometimes beg for a third try with a new committee—because in my lab, we just saw a friend actually do that last month!
