In summary, an "old thread" in the context of scientific research refers to a discussion or topic that was started more than 2 months ago. It is important to consider old threads in scientific research because they provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic and its history, and can be relevant for current research by providing valuable insights and serving as a starting point for further study. However, there is a risk of outdated information in old threads affecting current research, so it is important for scientists to critically evaluate the information and sources and cross-check them with current research. They can also determine the validity of information by considering the credibility of the source, the date of the information, and through peer-review and collaboration with other researchers.

Greetings,

2+ months ago, someone posted old entrance exams to a graduate school (physics)

I think it may have been USC but I'm not sure.

I didn't download it and now I can't find the thread with the link

Can you help?

Thanks
Sparky
