Maybe you fellow Physicist can help me with a piece of advice about what to choose among these two: Louisiana State University or Texas Technical University. I wonder how my performances ( or counterperformances) on this test could affect my admission, because they asked me to send them my acceptance before 15 April, then immediatly start the procedures for visa. So I can't see them being so overcrowded that they cannot send our scores earlier, I simply cannot see why we have to wait 6 weeks until they will mail the scores+ other 2 weeks for mailing, long time for anxiously waitting.Īnyhow I don't aim that high as you do, for me some "mediocre" schools will be OK.Īctually I was accpeted at LSU and TTU, both offered assistanship. The room we had the test was very cold so I was frozen and that also somewhat affected my performance.Īt the test center I was there were only 5 persons taking the GRE Subject: 3 for Math and 2 for Physics. When I knew I can solve the problem I spent time working with lot of numerical calculus and it was not a wise strategy. The difference I noticed was that maybe the question in the actual test were somehow easier, I ment on a lower level, but it also involved more numerical calculus which made me spent lot of time (usles). The question in the actual test were very similar with those in the tests mentioned above. I had no book to prepare from but the GRE 86 that yellowpig sent to me were very very helpful. So I skiped lot of problems.Īnyhow we have now just relax and wait. Īlthough I knew most of problems there I simply had not enough time to properly solve them. Hey I just noticed the dancing stick figure to the left of where I'm writing.

Well, I covered a lot of junk, so I'm not really sure what the topic of this post is, so feel free to add your commentary below. Ideal gases (EVERYTHING.not just p V = n tau) Wien Displacement (lambda and nu max for blackbody radiation)Ĭommutation relations ( = a + b.
In conclusion here are some items I didn't study (but sure wish I had): Does anybody that took a recent (like last two years) exam know about what sort of "raw score" gets a 900? I imagine its about a 75. If I miss that mark I'm taking the test again. I had planned on applying to some of the top schools (berkeley, caltech, etc.), and I'm pretty sure I need at least a 900 for them to look at my application. Now, before you all come clamoring for my "ETS Practicing to Take the Physics GRE" book, I haven't decided whether or not I will take the test again. I also missed a couple of problems that I know I should have answered correctly (that really makes me mad, but I can't do anything about it now). Future test takers beware, this was not time well spent. I spent quite a bit of time trying to do the calculations on problems that involved numbers.
In all I didn't do as well on the exam as I had hoped (but of course I won't really know until they score the stupid thing.can anyone tell me why it takes 5 weeks to feed my sheet of paper through a scantron?).
Then I wend back and tried to answer some of the problems I left blank.
I'll be out of purgatory once I get my score.whether I go to heaven or hell I don't really know).Īnyway, I went through the entire test, but I probably skipped about 15 problems. In reality, I have just entered purgatory. I assumed I would be out of GRE purgatory after taking the test. I just finished the Physics GRE a couple of hours ago.
