Formatting Expectations
• The Comprehensive Examination should not exceed 20 double-spaced pages, excluding the face sheet,
reference list, and appendices. The first page of the comp is the narrative of the paper and not the face
sheet.
• If an examination exceeds 20 narrative pages, anything beyond the 20th page will not be included in the
examination scored.
• Margins should measure 1.0 inch on all four sides of the page; Times New Roman is the required font for
the body of the exam. Students should use 12-point character size for the narrative.
• Literature review tables should be included as appendices and are not included in the 20-page maximum.
See Appendix I and Appendix II below for literature table format. The literature tables and any other tables
should be created in Times New Roman font and 10-point character size. The literature tables are to
be submitted in landscape orientation format. The literature review tables should be labeled in the order
the corresponding critique appears in the narrative, and referred to in sequence as Appendix A.1, Appendix
A.2 and so forth. The appendices must be referenced in the critiques and narrative per APA guidelines for
use of appendices. The appendices are not included in the 20-page comprehensive examination page limit.
• Level of Evidence should be indicated in the critique narrative for quantitative studies. Appendix III
below presents the Levels of Evidence classifications to be used in the Comprehensive Examination. An
example of presentation of Level of Evidence in the critique narrative:
o Broyles et al. (2000) found a correlation between increased care coordination and decreased
life threatening illnesses, quantity and duration of intensive care unit (ICU) admissions, ED
visits, and loss to follow up (Level of Evidence: Ib; Appendix A.1).
• Students should adhere to the editorial format of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological
Association (6th Ed.) for the Comprehensive Examination. A companion manual, “Concise Rules for APA
Style, Sixth Edition,” provides clear, concise explanations and examples for the most commonly used
aspects of APA formatting.
Use of Quantitative and/or Qualitative Research Review Table
• All specific research-related information on the articles critiqued should appear in either a quantitative
(Appendix I) or qualitative (Appendix II) research review grid. The table includes study design, sampling
techniques, identification of variables, methodology, data analysis, etc.
• This detailed information should not be repeated in the body of the Comprehensive Examination. The
body of the Comprehensive Examination should be used for the synthesis, critical analysis, and discussion
of the critiques and the contrast of chosen articles, as well as discussion of issues generated by the
Comprehensive Examination topic.
• Although research review tables are not included in the page limit, they should be limited to one page
per article.
• Column headings for both the quantitative and qualitative research review tables are listed in Appendix I
and Appendix II, along with information to be included in each column.
