AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around preparing for the PRAXIS II physics exam, specifically the two-hour version. A participant expresses anxiety about their understanding of the material and seeks advice on effective preparation strategies and recommended study materials. The conversation highlights the distinction between single-subject and multiple-subject testing, emphasizing the challenges faced by those in different teaching disciplines. Additionally, it is suggested to utilize the "Tests at a Glance" document available on the Praxis website for insights into the exam structure and content. The discussion also includes a reminder to avoid reviving outdated threads.

I am going to be taking the PRAXIS II physics exam (the two hour one) in a month.

Have anyone taken it before?

I am quite worry about it. I don't feel like I understand anything. How should I prepare for it? Is there any books I should get?

I appreciate any suggestion.

Praxis II physics would be single subject (that is, departmentalized) rather than multiple subjects (self-contained as in elementary school) - I know the multiple-subjects crowd would be terrified at the prospect of having to distinguish between acceleration, velocity, and momentum, let alone calculating any of them, and I'm equally sure, jm1030, that you'd just as soon not be tested in civics and beginning reading instruction and physical fitness and visual art.

Have you downloaded the Tests at a Glance document from the Praxis Web site (http://www.ets.org, click on Praxis)?

Stop bumping ancient threads.
 
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. 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...
Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
