I keep on seeing people either unaware that there are practice tests or that are unable to find them. In an effort to help people who may not have the google-foo, I'm linking them here.

The 1986 Exam
The 1992 Exam

Can a mod please sticky this?

Thank you for the web-page, for the great links, for the books quoted here and all that! I had also no idea about these things for my first PGRE preparation. The only test given by ETS is not enough! so again:
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
Great page

Wondering what would be the rating for the difficulty level of each exam on a scale of four, 4 being the toughest.We can always get an idea by the no of Qs answered right -percentile scores.Curious to know how the experts feel, so that I can arrange accordingly for my practice.

I want to take the toughest one in the middle of my preparation and leave the next toughest towards the end.

'toughest' is a judgement call, since the tests are all scaled differently. I think the '96 test is the hardest conceptually, while the '86 exam has more trick questions and tough clalculations.

Hi Everyone,

I took the practice tests which were originally around 30MB and compressed them down so they are all at 1MB. I also put together a file with what ETS has to say about topics on the test.

All Physics GRE Tests, easy download here: http://tiny.cc/PhyGRE

Also, one cannot overemphasize the usefulness of the complete solutions worked out at [url]grephysics.net[/url]

I'm starting grad school in the fall and will be blogging about my experiences applying to grad school. I will try to keep ahead of the application process, so I will talk about studying for the physics gre soon. Check out the blog at http://tiny.cc/QuantTriv

PS Can a moderator make this a sticky up towards the top of this topic?

I'm going to say this in the nicest possible way I can.

It's generally a bad idea to spam a forum with links to your own blog in every post you make. I realize that you are trying to make it seem like your link dropping is relevant to the content but I can assure you that it is quite obvious that you are shoehorning it in.

Thanks for being nice about it. I have edited my post so only relevant info is there.
