I am a Mechanical Engineering student. I have four months to prepare for physics GRE. How should I study for it? Which book is most preferred ?
The discussion centers on a Mechanical Engineering student's preparation for the Physics GRE, highlighting the inadequacy of a single book for comprehensive study. Participants emphasize the necessity of a strong foundational understanding of physics concepts, particularly momentum conservation, and critique the student's readiness for both the Physics and Verbal GREs. The consensus indicates that without a broader physics background and effective study strategies, success in the exam is unlikely within the four-month timeframe.
PREREQUISITESMechanical Engineering students, prospective graduate students in physics, and anyone preparing for the Physics GRE who seeks to strengthen their foundational knowledge and test-taking strategies.
Well i like to think a little deep. So sometimes i get stuck thinking about the basic concepts and i don't understand what's the problem with the verbal here?Vanadium 50 said:Your first question here was "Why ain't momentum conserved when external force acts on the system?"
That tells me two things:
I don't see how you will do well given the time available.
- You aren't ready for the Physics GRE.
- You aren't ready for the Verbal GRE.
