So the November PGRE beast is looming, so I have decided to plan what study materials I'm going to start using this summer.
Halliday and Resnick. --I'm starting with this first, since I've heard that if you know this cover to cover, you can do well on the GRE.
Serway and Jewett -- After I've cleared H&R. Supplementary studying.
The first few chapters of Griffiths Quantum and E&M. --Do I need more from these two ? Are there better books for these topics ?
Krane, Modern Physics --For the stuff the others miss ? I don't know.
---------------------------------------------------
I feel like intro physics resources are solid, but I am not sure about the Modern/Quantum/E&M resources. I also have "Div Grad Curl and all that" for studying E&M and vector calc. I plan to use the practice tests to track my progress, taking them under timed test conditions with no calculator.
I'd appreciate any commentary or further suggestions. Keep in mind I may not be able to purchase a whole slew of textbooks. I'll probably be reduced to borrowing them from cohorts and professors.
Thanks,
KS
