Conquering The Physics Gre

Thousands of students take the GRE subject test in physics each year, yet surprisingly few published resources exist to help students prepare for the content and structure of this important exam. This book, written by two MIT graduate students intimately familiar with the content of the exam, is a comprehensive review of all topics covered on the Physics GRE. Conquering the Physics GRE includes three full-length practice tests with worked solutions, content reviews of all the major subject areas with over 150 additional problems, and a full chapter on special test-taking tips specific to the Physics GRE. This revised and edited second edition extends the discussions in the subject area reviews, contains several new diagrams and problems, and features updated sample exams whose questions more accurately reflect the content of the current GRE.

GRE Physics practice questions with the most complete explanations and step-by-step solutions. Over 1,300 practice questions cover the following physics topics tested on the GRE Physics: ∙ Kinematics & dynamics ∙ Force, motion, gravitation ∙ Equilibrium and momentum ∙ Work & energy ∙ Waves & periodic motion ∙ Sound ∙ Fluids & solids ∙ Light & optics ∙ Heat & thermodynamics ∙ Electrostatics & electromagnetism ∙ Electric circuits ∙ Atomic & nuclear physics ∙ Quantum mechanics ∙ Special relativity ∙ Laboratory methods To achieve a GRE Physics score, you need to develop skills to properly apply the knowledge you have and quickly choose the correct answer. You must solve numerous practice questions that represent the style and content of the GRE Physics. This GRE Physics prep book contains over 1,300 practice questions with detailed explanations and step-by-step solutions. It is the most complete and comprehensive study tool that will teach you how to approach and solve a multitude of physics problems. This book consists of: - 12 diagnostic tests to help you identify your strengths and weaknesses to optimize your preparation strategy - topical practice question sets to drill down on each topic from a variety of angles and formula applications - test-taking strategies to maximize your performance on the test day - sheets of formulae, equations, variables and units to know for each topic The practice questions that comprise this book will help you to: - master important GRE Physics topics - assess your knowledge of topics tested on the GRE Physics - improve your test-taking skills - prepare for the test comprehensively and cost effectively All the questions in this book are prepared by physics instructors with years of experience in applied physics, as well as in academic settings. This team of physics experts analyzed the content of the test, released by the ETS, and designed practice questions that will help you build knowledge and develop the skills necessary for your success on the test. The questions were reviewed for quality and effectiveness by our science editors who possess extensive credentials, are educated in top colleges and universities, and have years of teaching and editorial experience.

Changes and additions to the new edition of this classic textbook include a new chapter on symmetries, new problems and examples, improved explanations, more numerical problems to be worked on a computer, new applications to solid state physics, and consolidated treatment of time-dependent potentials.

Description of research on the subject for researchers, and for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in mathematical physics.

"6 practice tests + proven strategies + online."

The GRE subject tests are among the most difficult standardized exams. Rather than testing general problem-solving skills, they require highly specialized knowledge. The experts at The Princeton Review have thoroughly research each subject test to provide students with the most thorough, up-to-date information available. Students don’t need to relearn the entire histories of their fields—just what they need to know to earn high scores on the exams. Each guide includes one full-length practice exam, complete with comprehensive explanations for every solution.
