Testing Recent PGRE Exams: Practice After 2014

AI Thread Summary
Recent PGRE exams are not available online for practice, with the latest exams being from before 2014. However, those who took the exam in 2015 noted that the questions were very similar to more recent available materials. For effective preparation, it's recommended to focus on past years' exams and the sample tests released by ETS. Additionally, the book "Conquering the Physics GRE" offers sample tests that, while slightly more challenging than the actual PGRE, can provide valuable practice.

Are there any recent (after 2014) PGRE exams available online for practice?

Unfortunately no :( If it helps, I took it in 2015 and the questions were extremely similar to the more recent available ones.

It does help a lot, haha, thank you! In that case, considering how little time I have left (I've only been able to go through the Conquering the Physics GRE's back of the section problems, in addition to reading the chapters, twice), I may only do past years' exams and the sample ones released by ETS before the test. Thanks!
 
You might want to try that book's sample tests in the back of the book as well. They're a little bit harder than the pGRE but it is still good practice, in my opinion.

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

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...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

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...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

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?
