GRE Subject Test in Physics Tutoring FAQ
The Google definition of physics is the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. The subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms. For many people, this subject may be a tough concept to grasp. Physics exams and finals within an individual class can cause students stress and anxiety, but students who wish to pursue graduate studies in physics have an even more overwhelming challenge to face: the GRE Subject Test in Physics. You can think of this exam as a cumulative test of everything you have learned about physics in your high school and college studies. In addition, you must face certain concepts you may have had little to no experience with over the course of your physics education.
Thus, it is important to approach your preparation for the GRE Subject Test in Physics in a thoughtful, careful manner, in order to combat the feelings of apprehension you may feel. This is where Varsity Tutors come in. Are you too busy for in-person tutoring sessions? Would you prefer a face-to-face online instructor?

Recent GRE Subject Test in Physics Tutoring Session Notes
This session consisted completely in new material. We covered with relative celerity Divisibility and Primes (c.13), Exponents and Roots (c.14), and Single-Variable Word Problems (c.15). She had very few major issues, so much of this will just be a matter of increasing skills that are perhaps merely atrophied.
The student and I went over the Writing section of the test and then worked on his timing. I gave him a list of practice test websites to use to hone his skills leading up to the test. He made a lot of progress and I'm looking forward to hearing how he did!
Today we covered the overall "need to know" sections of entry exam test prep including the special triangles, and two-word sentence completion tips. The student is working hard to improve her confidence, timing, and overall score, and has shown a lot of drive to obtain a perfect score. We left with a plan for future testing and study plans to go over before our next meeting.
Today, we started with math. She had some trouble with questions involving feet and inches, as she had trouble conceptualizing the heights of people expressed in these terms. We also talked about the writing section, going over format and brainstorming through a prompt.
After going over the basics of what we are looking to accomplish over the next month of tutoring, we dove right into the quantitative sections, as this is where the student indicated he believes he has the largest room for improvement.
