Conquering the Physics GRE

In the typhoon of studying for the PGRE, this book gives you floaties. Sure, you're still gonna drown, but maybe you have a chance now?

My favorite book right now ❤️

AWESOME BOOK! I strongly recommend it.

This book gives a good overview of the physics required to take the PGRE exam. It contains knowledge relevant to anyone who has done the first 2 years of a Physics course (with reference to UK universities), and a bit of perturbation theory on top of that. The questions are interspersed to allow practice in order to confirm understanding as the book is read. Handy tips are always given when possible, which aids exam technique. The three practice papers at the end are great resources, and the answers are explained well. Furthermore, any techniques which the PGRE expects which are physically incorrect are flagged, e.g. the Bohr atom.
This is a great guide for practicing the PGRE, and also not a bad overview of the first 2 years of physics (plus my back of the envelope calculations have wildly improved!).

Good luck!

This was my constant companion leading up to the GRE. A great resource on its own merits, but especially so because the field is otherwise empty (do not bother with the Sterling book, at least not as of April 2016.)

This is not only the best choice for GRE Physics prep, it has recently come in handy for a few quick intuition checks and refreshers near the qualifying exam.
