AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on preparing for the Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST), which assesses knowledge of basic physics principles and graduate-level topics. Participants seek recommendations for study materials and inquire about the difficulty comparison between JEST and the Joint Admission Test (JAM). One contributor shares their experience, mentioning a rank of 295 with a 93 percentile, and emphasizes the importance of understanding fundamental concepts and practicing with objective questions from standard texts like H.C. Verma. They suggest that the JEST syllabus aligns with the U.G.C prescribed graduation syllabus, which can be found on the official website. The conversation highlights the need for specific book titles and authors for effective preparation.

Thread 'What are the best A-Level options for someone wanting to do Physics?'

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...

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 'My Grade 11 Math mark is eating me alive. What do I do?'

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...
