Overview The GRE® Physics Test consists of about 100 multiple-choice questions. Testing time is 2 hours and 50 minutes; there are no separatelytimed sections. This publication provides a comprehensive overview of the GRE Physics Test to help you get ready for test day. It is designed to help you: • Understand what is being tested • Gain familiarity with the question types • Review test-taking strategies • Understand scoring • Practice taking the test To learn more about the GRE Subject Tests, visit www.ets.org/gre.

Test Content The test consists of approximately 100 fivechoice questions, some of which are based on such materials as diagrams, graphs, experimental data and descriptions of physical situations. The aim of the test is to determine the extent of the test takers’ grasp of fundamental principles and their ability to apply these principles in the solution of problems. Most test questions can be answered on the basis of a mastery of the first three years of undergraduate physics. The test questions are constructed to simplify mathematical manipulations. As a result, neither calculators nor tables of logarithms are needed. If the solution to a problem requires the use of logarithms, the necessary values are included with the question. The International System (SI) of units is used predominantly in the test. A table of information representing various physical constants and a few conversion factors among SI units is presented in the test book. Whenever necessary, additional values of physical constants are printed with the text of the question. The approximate percentages of the test on the major content topics have been set by the committee of examiners, with input

GRE ® Physics Test Practice Book

from a nationwide survey of undergraduate physics curricula. The percentages reflect the committee’s determination of the relative emphasis placed on each topic in a typical undergraduate program. These percentages are given below along with the major subtopics included in each content category. Nearly all the questions in the test will relate to material in this listing; however, there may be occasional questions on other topics not explicitly listed here. I.

Classical Mechanics (20%) (such as kinematics, Newton’s laws, work and energy, oscillatory motion, rotational motion about a fixed axis, dynamics of systems of particles, central forces and celestial mechanics, three-dimensional particle dynamics, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism, non-inertial reference frames, elementary topics in fluid dynamics)

II. Electromagnetism (18%) (such as electrostatics, currents and DC circuits, magnetic fields in free space, Lorentz force, induction, Maxwell’s equations and their applications, electromagnetic waves, AC circuits, magnetic and electric fields in matter) III. Optics and Wave Phenomena (9%) (such as wave properties, superposition, interference, diffraction, geometrical optics, polarization, Doppler effect) IV. Thermodynamics and Statistical Mechanics (10%) (such as the laws of thermodynamics, thermodynamic processes, equations of state, ideal gases, kinetic theory, ensembles, statistical concepts and calculation of thermodynamic quantities, thermal expansion and heat transfer) V. Quantum Mechanics (12%) (such as fundamental concepts, solutions of the Schrödinger equation [including square wells, harmonic oscillators and hydrogenic atoms], spin, angular

momentum, wave function symmetry, elementary perturbation theory) VI. Atomic Physics (10%) (such as properties of electrons, Bohr model, energy quantization, atomic structure, atomic spectra, selection rules, black-body radiation, x-rays, atoms in electric and magnetic fields) VII. Special Relativity (6%) (such as introductory concepts, time dilation, length contraction, simultaneity, energy and momentum, four-vectors and Lorentz transformation, velocity addition) VIII. Laboratory Methods (6%) (such as data and error analysis, electronics, instrumentation, radiation detection, counting statistics, interaction of charged particles with matter, lasers and optical interferometers, dimensional analysis, fundamental applications of probability and statistics) IX. Specialized Topics (9%) Nuclear and Particle physics (such as nuclear properties, radioactive decay, fission and fusion, reactions, fundamental properties of elementary particles), Condensed Matter (such as crystal structure, x-ray diffraction, thermal properties, electron theory of metals, semiconductors, superconductors), Miscellaneous (such as astrophysics, mathematical methods, computer applications)

Preparing for the Test GRE Subject Test questions are designed to measure skills and knowledge gained over a long period of time. Although you might increase your scores to some extent through preparation a few weeks or months before you take the test, last minute cramming is unlikely to be of further help. The following information may be helpful. • A general review of your college courses is probably the best preparation for the

4 | Page

test. However, the test covers a broad range of subject matter, and no one is expected to be familiar with the content of every question. • Become familiar with the types of questions in the GRE Physics Test, paying special attention to the directions. If you thoroughly understand the directions before you take the test, you will have more time during the test to focus on the questions themselves.

Test-Taking Strategies The questions in the practice test illustrate the types of multiple-choice questions in the test. When you take the actual test, you will mark your answers on a separate machine-scorable answer sheet. The following are some general test-taking strategies you may want to consider. • Read the test directions carefully, and work as rapidly as you can without being careless. For each question, choose the best answer from the available options. • All questions are of equal value; do not waste time pondering individual questions you find extremely difficult or unfamiliar. • You may want to work through the test quickly, first answering only the questions about which you feel confident, then going back and answering questions that require more thought, and concluding with the most difficult questions if there is time. • If you decide to change an answer, make sure you completely erase it and fill in the oval corresponding to your desired answer. • Your score will be determined by the number of questions you answer correctly. Questions you answer incorrectly or for which you mark no answer or more than one answer are counted as incorrect. Nothing is subtracted from a score if you answer a question incorrectly. Therefore, to maximize your score it is better for you

GRE ® Physics Test Practice Book

to guess at an answer than not to respond at all. • Record all answers on your answer sheet. Answers recorded in your test book will not be counted. • Do not wait until the last few minutes of a testing session to record answers on your answer sheet.

What Your Scores Mean The number of questions you answered correctly on the whole test (total correct score) is converted to the total reported scaled score. This conversion ensures that a scaled score reported for any edition of a GRE Physics Test is comparable to the same scaled score earned on any other edition of the test. Thus, equal scaled scores on a particular test indicate essentially equal levels of performance regardless of the test edition taken. GRE Physics Test total scores are reported on a 200 to 990 score scale in ten-point increments. Test scores should be compared only with other scores on the Physics Test. For example, a 780 on the Physics Test is not equivalent to a 780 on the Chemistry Test.

Taking the Practice Test The practice test begins on page 7. The total time that you should allow for this practice test is 2 hours and 50 minutes. An answer sheet is provided for you to mark your answers to the test questions. It is best to take this practice test under timed conditions. Find a quiet place to take the test and make sure you have a minimum of 2 hours and 50 minutes available. To simulate how the administration will be conducted at the test center, print the answer sheet (pages 89 and 90). Then go to the back cover of the test book (page 86) and follow the instructions for completing the identification areas of the answer sheet. When you are ready to begin the test, note the time and begin marking your

GRE ® Physics Test Practice Book

answers on the answer sheet. Stop working on the test when 2 hours and 50 minutes have elapsed.

Scoring the Practice Test The worksheet on page 87 lists the correct answers to the questions. The “Correct Response” columns are provided for you to mark those questions for which you chose the correct answer. Mark each question that you answer correctly. Then, add up your correct answers and enter your total number of correct answers in the space labeled “Total Correct” at the bottom of the page. Next, use the “Total Score” conversion tables on page 88 to find the corresponding scaled score. For example, suppose you chose the correct answers to 67 of the questions on the test. The “Total Correct” entry in the conversion table of 67 shows that your total scaled score is 820.

Evaluating Your Performance Now that you have scored your test, you may wish to compare your performance with the performance of others who took this test. The data in the worksheet on page 87 are based on the performance of a sample of the test takers who took the GRE Physics Test in the United States. The numbers in the column labeled “P+” on the worksheet indicate the percentages of examinees in this sample who answered each question correctly. You may use these numbers as a guide for evaluating your performance on each test question. Interpretive data based on the scores earned by a recent cohort of test takers are available on the GRE website at www.ets.org/gre/subject/ scores/understand. The interpretive data show, for selected scaled score, the percentage of test takers who received lower scores. To compare yourself with this population, look at the percentage next to the scaled score you earned on the practice test. Note that these interpretive data are updated annually and reported on GRE score reports.

It is important to realize that the conditions under which you tested yourself were not exactly the same as those you will encounter at a test center. It is impossible to predict how different test-taking conditions will affect test performance, and this is only one factor that may account for differences between your practice test scores and your actual test scores.

By comparing your performance on this practice test with the performance of other individuals who took GRE Physics Test, however, you will be able to determine your strengths and weaknesses and can then plan a program of study to prepare yourself for taking the GRE Physics Test under standard conditions.

GRADUATE RECORD EXAMINATIONS SUBJECT TEST B. The Subject Tests are intended to measure your achievement in a specialized field of study. Most of the questions are concerned with subject matter that is probably familiar to you, but some of the questions may refer to areas that you have not studied. Your score will be determined by the number of questions you answer correctly. Questions you answer incorrectly or for which you mark no answer or more than one answer are counted as incorrect. Nothing is subtracted from a score if you answer a question incorrectly. Therefore, to maximize your score, it is better for you to guess at an answer than not to respond at all. You are advised to use your time effectively and to work as rapidly as you can without losing accuracy. Do not spend too much time on questions that are too difficult for you. Go on to the other questions and come back to the difficult ones later if you can. YOU MUST INDICATE ALL YOUR ANSWERS ON THE SEPARATE ANSWER SHEET. No credit will be given for anything written in this examination book, but you may write in the book as much as you wish to work out your answers. After you have decided on your response to a question, fill in the corresponding oval on the answer sheet. BE SURE THAT EACH MARK IS DARK AND COMPLETELY FILLS THE OVAL. Mark only one answer to each question. No credit will be given for multiple answers. Erase all stray marks. If you change an answer, be sure that all previous marks are erased completely. Incomplete erasures may be read as intended answers. Do not be concerned that the answer sheet provides spaces for more answers than there are questions in the test. Sample Answer
