Nice deal they have going there. How can they know if you're going to pass your defense 48 hours before the defense? Where I got my PhD, it was a pass/fail defense...there are always revisions! Although publishing my research before writing my dissertation helped "defend" against suggestions for too many revisions. Good luck in any case! Wow! Nice deal they have going there.

If I'm not going to pass, they have to tell me 48 hours before my defense. Once they let that deadline go by, I can either pass with revisions, or pass. I can't fail. Good "pep talk" though!

You forgot the third option, though: Fail. Although, that's extremely unlikely! Personally, the week-long prelims/comprehensives were more stressful for me. After 6.5 years, you should know all the minutia of your research. But knowing the minutia of your entire field, that's the hard part! So...don't sweat it too much!
