GRE Physics (Graduate Record Examination Series, Gre-15) (ISBN 0837352150)

Categories:


It's OK, but far better review books exist This book does provide a decent preparation for the physics GRE, but there are no examples where problems are actually solved. It is also lacking in letting you know exactly what is needed for the test. The questions are multiple choice out of 4 instead of 5 so the simulation of an actual test is flawed. I'd suggest the Barron's review book which has numerous practice exams, and actually goes through and solves every question.
Awful GRE prep This book is more suited for SAT prep. Questions are way too easy and aren't even close to simulating the physics GRE. The book doesn't even give explanations for answers - just tests and answer keys. Not worth it.
Really an algebra-based high school physics review This book really is a collection of sheets of review questions that were apparently made up for an algebra-based high-school physics course, and so the book is at much too low a level for physics GRE review. There are a _few_ higher level questions thrown in on rare occasions, but even these are not at all at the level of the physics GRE. The answers to the questions (all multiple choice format) are given, but there are no worked out solutions for any of the problems. There are no short review sections (as can be found in most other review books), just the multiple choice questions. A very misleadingly-titled book. (This review written by a college physics prof.)
