AI Thread Summary
For GRE study, particularly using iPhone apps, users recommend tools that facilitate learning on the go, such as flashcard applications. Anki is highlighted as a top choice due to its use of spaced repetition, which helps reinforce memory retention over time. The discussion acknowledges concerns about distractions from notifications and social media when using phones for studying, but emphasizes the convenience of apps for quick, effective learning, especially in transit. Overall, the focus is on finding efficient, user-friendly apps that support vocabulary and formula memorization without the need for extensive physical materials.

Hello,

I’m starting my GRE study soon and would like to know what you guys recommend for GRE study, specifically iPhone apps.

I don’t plan on taking exams on the phone, but I would like something that I can use to cram into long term memory while I am on the bus every day. Anything that you guys use to help with vocabulary, formulas, etc etc?

Why not buy a study guide and scribble notes in it? Using the phone will ony distract you from your mission to study. Texts will pop up and the urge to check social media will be too hard to ignore.
 
Makes sense. I’ve been using apps to study other things and it has worked really well for me. Especially in a moving and bus where I might be standing...I want to minimize movement. I was thinking of something as convenient as a flash card type app where I really just need a thumb to navigate
 
If youre looking for a flash card app, Anki is really good. Uses spaced repetition to give you the cards over different periods of time. Very customizable cards too.

After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
