Conquering the Physics GRE

Excellent book for studying on your own before taking the GRE. It’s very comprehensive and seems to cover everything you need to know

Espectacular para prepararse para ingresos de posgrado

This book is the pre-exam workbook for physics majors Kinda like the Bar exam for Law School

Conquering the Physics GRE is really really helpful for preparing for the Physics GRE. I have found that the practice tests in the book are much more like the actual Physics GRE than the older ETS exams (the more recent ETS exams, 2001 and 2008, are a good match to the real thing). If you're planning on taking the Physics GRE, I 100% recommend buying this book. If you already have the 2nd edition and are wondering if you should buy the 3rd, don't buy it. As far as I can tell, there is almost no new content in the 3rd edition (the only change I've found so far is the addition of the more recent Nobel Prizes to the Specialized Topics section). All the practice tests are the same. They reduced the font size and spacing, and switched to a two-column format, so the book is much thinner now.

"Conquering the Physics GRE" is not a task to be attempted by the faint-of-heart. What's more, ETS has designed this test to trick you into failing, even though you're a very sharp young scholar. This book provides an excellent "boot camp" for anyone studying for this grueling test. There are succinct explanations of all manner of concepts --- ideal to bring back foggy memories of problems once solved. And, of course, no Physics book is complete without a healthy helping of PROBLEMS to solve so you can test your skills! I'm a Physics Ph.D. student at a major public university in part thanks to this book. Need I say more?

Not just good for exam prep, for for reviewing physics in general. The intuition included and the knowledge distillation and structuring are great

This book was great to prep for PGRE's. It is a giant guided practice test, with sections providing key lessons followed by about ten to twenty questions as follow up. There are many practice tests in the back, many which can provide a challenge compared with the ones floating around on the internet. Definitely helped me in prepping for exam.

I thought I was good enough at physics but this book taught me a lot about factual problems and it helped me a lot in my GRE (got 930/990)!

El libro llego perfecto, el problema es que la impresión tiene un error. Tiene una página doblada que tiene parcialmente el texto, fuera de ello, la entrega y el embalaje fue bueno. // The book arrived in perfect condition, the problem is that the printing has an error. It has a folded page that partially obscures the text, besides that, the delivery and packaging were good.

This covers all the important topics for Physics GRE. I really like the way the authors put out all the topics that can show up in the exam. The way they explained everything is very understandable and the questions that they give for each chapter for solving is good. I found this super helpful.

商品が黄ばんでいるので割引を提示され交渉したら半額にしてくれました。 しかし、それらのトラブルやコロナの影響もあり、到着には１ヶ月以上かかりました。 実際に本を見てみるとページ自体には問題はなく、本を縦置きにした時に地面と接するところが液体がかかったようなシミがある程度で思ったよりはひどくありませんでした。 海外からの発送なので仕方ないですが、担当の方は事前に黄ばみのことを報告し、割引を提示してくれた上に、価格交渉に応じてくれて、私からの「到着が遅い」というクレームにも真面目に対応してくださったので、星４つにしました。

Authors of the book not only provided an extensive and logically ordered material for PGRE, but they also enrich it practice sections, step-by-step explanation of all problems, as well as useful tips and strategies. Moreover, three full-length tests are invaluable source of ETS-style questions, making you confident on the test day. Yoni, Adam, thank you!

It covers all the necessary topics in Physics and various questions of different levels of difficulty. It is recommended by many of my friends and seniors who attempted GRE subject exam.
