Physics GRE Test: Preparing for a PhD Program

AI Thread Summary
When considering admission to a physics Ph.D. program, it's essential to check the specific requirements of the graduate programs being applied to. Generally, applicants are advised to take both the GRE General Test and the Physics GRE Subject Test to enhance their chances of acceptance. Understanding the requirements of each program will provide clarity on which tests are necessary for consideration.

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...
