Qual practice problems
Qual practice problems
I'm studying for my Q this summer and I know some schools post past Q exams online for students to practice with. It would be cool to get a bunch of links to practice Q problems all in one place, so if you know of or come across sample Q problems online, post a link here.

For what it's worth, UW-Madison's old quals can be found here. Solutions aren't posted, but some are on a wiki somewhere. I'll try to find the link.
Re: Qual practice problems
there is this series:

they have nearly all topics. i am not quite sure how good they are. I have the mechanics and QM copy and it helped me with my undergrad stuff, but I heavily depend on examples to learn something

Re: Qual practice problems
Here from U of Virginia are some qual questions worked out for Quantum and E/M, so you can compare your answers with the ones given. The first 10 or so might be too easy, but the second half of Quantum ones and later E/M are fairly tough and should be good practice.
