Yoni Kahn is a theoretical physicist researching dark matter and supersymmetry. A postdoctoral research associate at Princeton University, New Jersey, he obtained his Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2015 and in 2016 received the American Physical Society's J. J. and Noriko Sakurai Dissertation Award in Theoretical Particle Physics. Adam Anderson is an experimental physicist working at the interface between cosmology and particle physics. He received his Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2015, and is now a Lederman postdoctoral fellow at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, developing instruments for performing precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background.
'I have used Conquering the Physics GRE as a resource for our
annual 'Southern California Physics GRE Bootcamp' program for the
past few years. Of the various resources I have tried, [this book]
has consistently been the most popular and the most effective in
helping physics majors prepare for the Physics GRE. It provides the
right combination of concept material, exam problem-solving
strategies, and practice questions tuned to this particular exam. I
would also recommend this book not just for the GRE, but as a
general study guide for undergraduate physics courses.' Adam
Burgasser, University of California, San Diego
'This gem has become a staple of our course preparing
undergraduates for the Physics GRE. The practice exams are even
more well matched to the real thing than are the old ETS exams, due
to the evolution of the exam. The study sections are unique in
their focus on efficiency in problem solving, an important skill
not only for the Physics GRE, but for any practicing physicist. My
favorite is the chapter on 'Tips and Tricks' - the smallest, but
most powerful chapter in the book.' James McLean, State University
of New York, Geneseo
