I haven't taken the Physics GRE yet, but with the Mathematics GRE I spent a lot of time on Google finding practice tests and free materials. A helpful tip is to actually practice with the 170 minute time limit.

I have been using this book so far to study myself. One thing I will say is that the questions presented in this book are generally more difficult than those addressed on the actual exam, so I've heard that if you are able to do the questions in the book then you will be fine.
