When should I start preparing for physics GRE?
Start studying during the summer for the physics GRE in November. The physics GRE tests your ability to quickly solve problems. In order to go through the questions quickly, you will want to have concepts, formulas, and solutions to typical problems memorized.
Is the physics GRE hard?
The Physics GRE subject test is much more involved, and much more difficult. Your goal should not necessarily be to understand the material; it should be to ace this test in as little time as possible (not even ace – there is a heavy curve so an excellent score is typically 80 questions correct out of 100).
What is a good score on physics GRE?
Essentially, a good physics GRE score is what translates into a high percentile. Currently, the average physics GRE score is 712 (meaning a person who scores a 712 did better than about half the test takers and worse than half the test takers).
