I took qualifying exam on the last semester after I finished the thesis. They [university officials] thought in their system I have left the program. I had only 4 weeks to study for the exam because my advisor gave me a ultimatum after he thought I took the exam already. I was working full-time at this time and couldn't take 4 weeks off. After so much praying, I got the highest score, and I ended up becoming a Christian because of all the praying. It worked out at the end.
