It is interesting to note that absolutely no knowledge of anything written in the English language is the past 150 years or so - and possibly far longer - is required to "exit". As a matter of fact, there was only one (optional) question, covering possibly 3% of the test, which even involved the twentieth century, and that appeared to regard Virginia Woolf as a contemporary. Was this a "comprehensive" exam, Sam, or aimed at a more narrowly focused portion of a larger syllabus?
