Other Where Can I Find MIT Physics General Exams from 2002 and After 2012?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the MIT physics graduate general exams, specifically the Part 2 exams available on the MIT website. The exams are recognized as valuable resources for consolidating knowledge in physics. There is a query about the availability of exams from 2002 to 2012 and after 2012, with the belief that MIT may only release selected exams every ten years. The conversation highlights the importance of these exams for study and preparation in graduate-level physics.

Hello! I solved the MIT physics graduate general exams (the Part 2 from http://web.mit.edu/physics/current/graduate/sampleexams.html) and they are super useful to consolidate your knowledge in the areas they cover. Does anyone know where (and if) I can find the exams between 2002 and 2012 and after 2012?

I think they hold them in reserve and only provide access to selected exams once every ten years, 2002 and 2012.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
