I think you signed a sheet that says, "You are required (agreeing) to make these questions confidential." You know you're hampering your chance, you newbie. You're not allowed to do that.Atah wrote:I remember one question...
I don't remember that question but I do recall the one that asked about the tensile strength of Pauly D's hair.

For the november test it was about a month, but why would you want to do it for the april test? You should save your money.shockwave121 wrote:Does anyone know how many days until I can call ETS and spend the 12 dollars to find out I'm taking the test again in October?
I think this is an experimental question. So we need Pauly D and the other thing you can do is apply Leucippus's Classical theory of μαλλιά and Lattice guido theory doesn't belong here and that rules the lattice gauge theory also.HappyQuark wrote:
1675 wasn't an option. The choices were
(A) 0 N
(B) 9.1 N
(C) 1500 N
(D) 1850 N
(E) Infinite
I know it can't be 0 and I also remembered that the ultimate conclusion of lattice guido theory was to do away with the classical notion that these hair constructions could ever reach infinite tensile strength. 9.1 N is, of course, the classical result for the strength of a single hair (akin to the ground state energy of hydrogen) so the entire head of hair must be greater. This leaves (C) and (D) but I couldn't decide between the two.
This is the true reason I chose W&M over Brown.

Again, discussing details about the test is not allowed by the forum rules and this includes providing specific test questions that appeared on the test.physicsworks wrote:The test was pretty easy, a lot of questions were the same (or nearly the same) as in the practice tests.

Technically, that would be "providing specific test questions that did not appear on the test".

Unless I misunderstood what physicsworks said, and I'm almost positive I didn't, he is saying that problems [edited] appeared more or less verbatim on this most recent test. In other words, he is detailing in no uncertain terms at least 5 problems that DID appear on the April exam.shockwave121 wrote:Technically, that would be "providing specific test questions that did not appear on the test".

I hardly think that quoting numbers counts as "details".
Fair enough. I thought you were refering to the "nium" comment. I can only speak for myself in this context, but I'm not trying to piss off any forum moderators or entice a gag-order from ETS. I'm only venting after what was an otherwise stressful 1.5 months of studying followed by a frusterating exam experience. Maybe some of you can relate, maybe not. Like Riley said in a different thread, I'm on ETS's side until my schools get my scores.HappyQuark wrote:Unless I misunderstood what physicsworks said, and I'm almost positive I didn't, he is saying that problems [edited] appeared more or less verbatim on this most recent test.

I do not remember numbers. I've remembered at least 93 questions from this test and then looked at practice tests to see whether they have similar questions.shockwave121 wrote:@physicsworks: How do you remember the question numbers? Lol! I know I answered the question numbers you listed, but for the life of me I can't remember what the questions were!
That's true. Also they seems to produce too much test questions by simply inverting order of words in practice test questionsshockwave121 wrote:The other thing I gathered from actually taking this test was that it seems like memorization is extremely important. There were (at least) two questions were they literally asked you for the equation for "X".
I had a similar too but did it rightThere was one question, which I won't discuss the details, but you had to calculate a fraction of something and then invert it, because you had (1/something_1)/(1/something_2). I simply forgot to invert it.
There were also "tricky" questions (or rather answers for them) where you should be careful in doing math. For instance, you got the answer $$a(\sqrt{2}-1)$$ but ETS provides you withWhat I meant is when you got the right answer $$a(\sqrt{2}-1)$$ to the problem then in order to pick the right corresponding letter you should convert it to $$\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}+1}$$. That is a waste of time and not a good question. It does't test your physics skills.shockwave121 wrote:If that had been a question, which I don't remember if it was or not, that is super easy! 0.4a = a/(2.5) = 1/(sqrt(2) + 1)
My friend majored in physics for undergrad, went into mechanical engineering to work in a plasma group. It can be done.shockwave121 wrote:If that had been a question, which I don't remember if it was or not, that is super easy! 0.4a = a/(2.5) = 1/(sqrt(2) + 1).But again, under time/stress constraints, who knowns what I would have picked.
Maybe I'll just try to get into a plasma group via aerospace/nuclear engineering. The general GRE (quantitative) will be a joke compared to this PGRE. Anyone know anyone who did Physics undergrad then engineering grad?
