Good day, fellow students of physics,

I figured it was high time I made an account on this site so as to get a little more involved. I've recently obtained a bachelor's degree of science, majoring in math and physics, and I intend to go to graduate school in about a year's time. The only thing holding me back is the physics subject GRE, on which I earned a score of 490 the first time around. The grades I earned in my college physics courses range from B to A all throughout and I've even coauthored a published paper regarding cycling (with bikes and whatnot). I feel like I could probably get into some graduate program somewhere with my current record, but, to me, that 490 tells me I have a sub-par grasp on the physical world around me. I don't want this to be the case when I get to graduate school. So, here I am. I'll likely gravitate toward the "homework questions" forum and at least lurk in current questions if not attempt to offer guidance towards solutions.

Hi Kinta. Welcome to PF. :smile:
 
Hello everyone, I'm Cosmo. I'm an 18 years old student majoring in physics. I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones that are considered as "basic math" or "basic physics", I've initial fascination with the universe's mysteries and it disconnect with the reality of intense, foundational mathematics courses required...
