The Physics GRE plays a significant role in deciding admissions to nearly all US physics Ph.D. programs, yet few exam-prep books focus on the test's actual content and unique structure. Recognized as one of the best student resources available, this tailored guide has been thoroughly updated for the current Physics GRE. It contains carefully selected review material matched to all of the topics covered, as well as tips and tricks to help solve problems under time pressure. It features three full-length practice exams, revised to accurately reflect the difficulty of the current test, with fully worked solutions so that students can simulate taking the test, review their preparedness, and identify areas in which further study is needed. Written by working physicists who took the Physics GRE for their own graduate admissions to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, this self-contained reference guide will help students achieve their best score.

Great!
Excellent resource for the GRE Physics test. I recommend the paperback as I had some issues with reading the kindle version. Got a refund and was very happy with the analogue version. It's got just the right balance of problems and summaries with exam tips. Definitely recommended.

If you value your time, you definitely should buy it
Authors of the book not only provided an extensive and logically ordered material for PGRE, but they also enrich it practice sections, step-by-step explanation of all problems, as well as useful tips and strategies. Moreover, three full-length tests are invaluable source of ETS-style questions, making you confident on the test day. Yoni, Adam, thank you!

Casi perfecto / Almost perfect
El libro llego perfecto, el problema es que la impresión tiene un error. Tiene una página doblada que tiene parcialmente el texto, fuera de ello, la entrega y el embalaje fue bueno. // The book arrived in perfect condition, the problem is that the printing has an error. It has a folded page that partially obscures the text, besides that, the delivery and packaging were good.

Good for Physics GRE prepration
This covers all the important topics for Physics GRE. I really like the way the authors put out all the topics that can show up in the exam. The way they explained everything is very understandable and the questions that they give for each chapter for solving is good. I found this super helpful.

トラブルはありましたが無事届きました
商品が黄ばんでいるので割引を提示され交渉したら半額にしてくれました。 しかし、それらのトラブルやコロナの影響もあり、到着には1ヶ月以上かかりました。 実際に本を見てみるとページ自体には問題はなく、本を縦置きにした時に地面と接するところが液体がかかったようなシミがある程度で思ったよりはひどくありませんでした。 海外からの発送なので仕方ないですが、担当の方は事前に黄ばみのことを報告し、割引を提示してくれた上に、価格交渉に応じてくれて、私からの「到着が遅い」というクレームにも真面目に対応してくださったので、星4つにしました。

same content as 2nd edition; definitely buy if you're planning on taking the PGRE!
Conquering the Physics GRE is really really helpful for preparing for the Physics GRE. I have found that the practice tests in the book are much more like the actual Physics GRE than the older ETS exams (the more recent ETS exams, 2001 and 2008, are a good match to the real thing). If you're planning on taking the Physics GRE, I 100% recommend buying this book. If you already have the 2nd edition and are wondering if you should buy the 3rd, don't buy it. As far as I can tell, there is almost no new content in the 3rd edition (the only change I've found so far is the addition of the more recent Nobel Prizes to the Specialized Topics section). All the practice tests are the same. They reduced the font size and spacing, and switched to a two-column format, so the book is much thinner now.
