Stanford SPS

Here is some information and general advice for the Physics GRE exam. If you have additional advice/resources that you'd like to share with Stanford SPS, please e-mail Flip ( flipt@stanford.edu ). The GRE Physics Test, along with the GRE General Test, are the two standardized exams you are required to take throuh ETS to apply to most U.S. graduate programs in physics. The source for official information is the ETS GRE website. The GRE Subject Tests are given three times a year in November, December, and April (check the official ETS site for dates). ETS takes about a month to process scores and most graduate school applications are due in December and January, so November is the de facto "last chance" to take the Physics exam. The December test usually conflicts with Stanford's final exams, anyway. If you can adquately prepare, taking the April exam is ideal since you don't have to study for the GRE while preparing grad apps and, in the worst case, can "fall back" on the November exam
