Customer Reviews

Horrible Book
Many of the answers they provide are simply wrong. The content does not match the actual Physics GRE material.

Really good
This book covers a lot of material.
There's much even a bright undergraduate student in Physics is not expected to have studied or ever encountered.
But so goes the GRE exam too, to a lesser extent.
This can be somewhat annoying for those who are accustomed to quickly and easily going through problem sets.
However, provided you accept working on the exercises of this book as something which will add to your background and "enlightment", not merely as exercises that will test how well you master the minimal physics background every would-be graduate student is expected to be well acquainted with, you will greatly benefit from this book.

Some of the answers are wrong
And simple math answers too. For example, (1/2)(2/3) = ? They say it's 1/6. I'm of the opinion that it's actually 1/3. That's just one of several I've ran across.

Still, it's better than nothing, but I think looking at your old college textbooks and doing the ETS questions is probably a better route.
