Physics GRE Test: Preparing for a PhD Program

In summary, the Physics GRE test is a computer-based exam with 100 multiple-choice questions divided into three sections. To prepare for the test, it is recommended to start studying early and use study guides and practice tests. Not all PhD programs in Physics require the Physics GRE test, so it is important to research the specific requirements of the programs you are interested in. A good score on the Physics GRE test is around 830-850, although a perfect score of 990 is possible. The test can be taken up to three times in a 12-month period, but it is recommended to only take it twice with enough time in between for preparation.

Check the grad programs you are thinking of applying to, and see what they require.
