I'm looking for a study partner in the boston area. I have a BA in Physics in '93. I'm thinking of going back for a PhD program in the future. I want at least 1 year preparation for the subject test. I didn't do well in college when I was there. I don't think I'm super smart or anything. I'm older now so I think I have the patience, dedication, and drive toward studying.
