In summary, preparing for a PhD in Physics as a high school student requires dedication, hard work, and a strong foundation in mathematics and science. It is important to take advanced courses, participate in research opportunities, and build relationships with professors and mentors in the field. Additionally, taking standardized tests such as the SAT or ACT and the Physics GRE can help demonstrate academic proficiency and potential to graduate schools. Developing strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as a passion for the subject, are also crucial for success in a PhD program in Physics.

I am a high school student who wants to get a PhD in Physics someday. I excel in Science and Mathematics, and I joined this forum in part to learn from the best. I will use this forum to get study recommendations and to discuss physics and math with others. Apart from that, I am a huge Star Wars and video game nerd.
