GRE PHYSICS PREP MATERIAL

[PJ9911]

I want to give a GRE Physics exam in september. 

Considering that I have not begun my GRE Physics prep, please suggest the materials/books for GRE Physics.

I tried looking online and I could not find any relevant books.

Thank you

Study plan I will be following (includes old pGRE tests):

The essential text:

https://www.amazon.com/Conquering-Physics-GRE-Yoni-Kahn/dp/1108409563/ref=pd_cp_14_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1108409563&pd_rd_r=593e416b-6037-11e8-8ce9-a3e8d727e07b&pd_rd_w=ka7Sp&pd_rd_wg=otPHj&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=80460301815383741&pf_rd_r=R6J0AY2C40TS3MQ8H7WW&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=R6J0AY2C40TS3MQ8H7WW

 

Go-to intro text for literally everything (free online pdf):

google "halliday and resnick fundamentals of physics pdf"

 

A supplementary text I love:

https://www.amazon.com/Physics-Student-Companion-Lowry-Kirkby/dp/1904842682/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527265207&sr=8-1&keywords=lowry+kirkby

 

Article/website with good info:

After you have gotten through all the practice tests, use this to study specific areas (I say after because these problems are from old tests):

I'm gonna have to 2nd this suggestion.  It is a rock solid book and helped me raise my pGRE score by 110 points.

Now that I'm done the whole PGRE process (went from a 3rd percentile in April 2018 to a 59th percentile in October ) my best advice is to know the 3/4 most recent exams like the back of your hand!

Yep.  They reuse a lot of the same questions but with the numbers changed.
