Hi guys,

I am new to this forum. I want to know whether there are any similar tests equivalent to GRE physics test. I googled and tried in few university websites but I couldn't find anything.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Equivalent in what sense? Do you mean in the sense of SAT vs. ACT for undergrad entrance exams? Other graduate entrance exams that are accepted by graduate admissions committees? Equivalent foreign entrance exams? What is your purpose?

hi crysphys I meant it for the following questions.

"Foreign universities" is a very broad category. Which countries? Which universities? Once you have decided on a list of candidate schools, you should contact their admissions offices directly for their requirements.

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
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...
