The test and upper division
The test and upper division
I remember being told that the test was mainly lower division(halliday) with a few topics from upper division physics. Is this true?
Re: The test and upper division
Now that I have finished my first semester of quantum mechanics, I do think it was immensely useful to have taken QM first.
But, if you can do every and any problem at Halliday/Resnick level and Beiser's Modern Physics, you'll be fine. I noticed that a lot of questions from the 4 practice exams looked almost verbatim like sentences in my Beiser book.

I've read this elsewhere on this forum. I think I'm going to buy the book. Just to be sure, is this it?mhazelm wrote:But, if you can do every and any problem at Halliday/Resnick level and Beiser's Modern Physics, you'll be fine.

Re: The test and upper division
Any opinions on Serway/Jewett? That's the one we used for freshman physics and I'm planning on keeping it for reference. Is it noticeably different from Halliday/Resnick in some specific way that may disadvantage me when it comes time for GRE prep?

Re: The test and upper division
I'm don't know anything about it, but as long as it covers most of the same stuff (I can't imagine that it wouldn't), it's probably best to stick with it. Personally, I write in my books and when I see the notes I've written, it helps me remember the concepts even without rereading the chapter. So if you're anything like me, it'll be much easier to use a book that you're already familiar with than to try learn from a new one.
