Thanks for the wonderful suggestion , I will summarize what you said " To get good score in PGRE , read thoroughly H&R book and solve all its problems and then use Physics companion as a reference . After this i should solve all the problems in the Practice tests(5 tests) and i should improve...

mostly in atomic and quantum physics and some problem in statistical thermodynamics. These concepts are explained only briefly in this book . So for me difficult to solve the problems from this subject but specialized topics are good and sufficient for PGRE . for me EMT,CM, Optics and Special...

I have H&R and i have read almost all the chapters in the textbook and the problems but still i can't able to solve some problems in the PGRE practice tests(5 practice tests) . So what additional books should i use now ?

Yes i have already visited this website but since i am from engineering background, i don't understand exactly what is 40 series or 120 series level and text is . So please recommend books for each subject which will be a great help for me.

Can you also suggest books for other subjects for PGRE and also which is good for learning the subject .

okay i will use marion and thornton book

okay

Which book can i use for the preparation of classical mechanics for the PGRE exam , . Classical mechanics by John.R.Taylor has better review than Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems, by Jerry Marion and Stephen Thornton . But many people recommend to use Classical Dynamics of Particles...

I am interested in applying plasma physics in nuclear fusion program in France or Germany . Both are good in this field , but where i can get good scholarships and i am from electrical engineering background so where i have better chance of getting admitted.

Sorry i didn't understand your reply properly , what you are saying is to get good score in PGRE is to work through all the problems in the textbooks and solving problems from the study guide won't help . Have i got the point what you said ?

Erasmus mundus program in Nuclear fusion and engineering physics recommends applicants to have a GRE physics score.

i can able to solve the textbook problems , but whether it a worth to solve this time consuming problems for the PGRE exams , that is my doubt ? what kind of problems should i solve for PGRE problems . After the PGRE test , i will have one more year, in that time i can prepare for the graduate...

Yes i agree with you , but it is difficult for me to solve all the textbook back problems , can i skip some chapters in the textbook .will that work for PGRE test ? after the test i will have one more year to enter my graduate school , so i can use that time for solving the remaining problems...

I agree with you totally but whether solving the time consuming textbook problems is worth for the PGRE exam ?

Yes he worked 8 years for the general relativity and had more struggles to prove it experimentally. I saw it in a documentary about einstein.
