Conquering the Physics GRE by Yoni Kahn

Product Details

About the Book

Conquering the Physics GRE is widely recognized as one of the best resources available for the Physics GRE, the subject test that plays a significant role in admissions decisions for nearly all US physics PhD programs. Despite the exam's importance, few published resources genuinely focus on its specific content and unique structure, and this book fills that gap directly. Written by Yoni Kahn and Adam Anderson, two working physicists who each took the Physics GRE for their own graduate admissions to MIT, the guide is built from firsthand, expert familiarity with exactly what the exam demands.

The book offers a comprehensive, self-contained review of every major subject area covered on the exam, including classical mechanics, electricity and magnetism, optics and waves, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, quantum mechanics and atomic physics, special relativity, laboratory methods, and specialized topics, supported by over 150 practice problems woven throughout to reinforce understanding as you go. A dedicated chapter on special test-taking tips and tricks helps students navigate the exam's tight time pressure, and the book concludes with three full-length practice exams, revised to accurately reflect the difficulty of the current test, complete with fully worked solutions so students can simulate real exam conditions and pinpoint exactly where further study is needed. Now in a revised and expanded edition, the book has become a trusted staple in physics GRE bootcamps and self-study plans alike.

Why Choose This Book?

About the Authors: Yoni Kahn & Adam Anderson

Yoni Kahn is a theoretical physicist researching dark matter and supersymmetry, who earned his PhD from MIT in 2015 and received the American Physical Society's J. J. and Noriko Sakurai Dissertation Award in Theoretical Particle Physics in 2016. Adam Anderson is an experimental physicist working at the interface between cosmology and particle physics, based at Fermilab. Both authors drew on their own experience preparing for and taking the Physics GRE for their MIT graduate admissions when writing this guide.
