3.  Subject GRE Physics overview  Marking Scheme  Syllabus of the Exam  Talk on each topic  Focus on two major area: Mechanics and Electro dynamics  Some examples from the real exam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRE_Physics_Test

4. 20% Classical Mechanics 18% Electricity & magnetism 12% Quantum mechanics 10% Thermo+stat. mech.10% Atomic physics 9% Optics and waves 9% Special topics 6% Special relativity 6% Laboratory methods Questions test mastery of material from a typical undergraduate curriculum. For the most part the exam draws from “Halliday and Resnick” level classical, E&M, Thermo, optics, and waves. Quantum and atomic physics typical of a 3rd semester modern physics course.

5.  The exam is scored in a two step process  A raw score is computed as: C - 1/4 I where C is the number of correct answers and I is the number of incorrect answers. Un-answered (U) questions earn 0 points.  There are many combinations which earn the same raw score. For example: ‣ C = 52, I=8, U=40 : R= 50 ‣ C = 60, I=40, U=0: R= 50  The raw score is then converted to a scaled score. The scaling procedure is complicated and tries to account for “bad” questions and the relative difficulty of this year’s exam compared to previous years.
