thank you all for your help.

I've started studying classical mechanics. Is there an order I should do this? Classical must be first, but what about after, Electro, Thermo, and Quantum? It seems like at least in historical order it should be thermo and then electro and quantum last, but thermodynamics usually covers quantum...

Ok I'm going to follow this advice and try to study these books all the way through to prepare. Thanks.

Classical Dynamics by Marion and Thornton, and Griffiths Electrodynamics. I don't remember how long, I think it was during the first or second week. I didn't have long to decide before I would have my transcript marked with something and mess with my records and enrollment.

Yes, solved the schrodinger equation for hydrogen atom. I sat in on electrodynamics and classical mechanics upper division classes in undergraduate, but left because it felt too basic. Graduate course, I tried quantum but stopped when we got to the Clebsch Gordon table and nobody was able to...

I took the undergraduate lower division engineering-science sequence of mechanics, modern physics, and electrodynamics in college. Then in the math department I took a mathematical physics course where we studied the structures of quantum theory, we treated the harmonic oscillator and computed...

I'm sort of confused how to go about finding my educational path. I've been studying alone for some time, quantum field theory, quantum mechanics, relativity and I am struggling. I went to school graduate actually in mathematics, studied general relativity, some quantum. I have a degree in math...
