hey tuhina, iam taking the PGRE test also in 10th Nov and my advice which i've heared from dozens of people here and out of here is:
"JUST CONCENTRATE ON THE 500 ETS OFFICIAL PROBLEMS WHICH R IN THE 5 ETS OFFICIAL TESTS"
and u will be much more than fine during ur exam and actually that's what iam doing right now regardless of the long time taken to understand every answer for every question
so my 2nd advice.....START RIGHT NOW ON THESE PROBLEMS
GOOD LUCK

Most of the ED problems are on boundary conditions and Griffiths is a pretty good resource for that. I think reading a couple of chapters of Griffiths should be enough for the PGRE.

My piece of advice: If you are done with the ETS tests and you have the means, buy the 3 exams of physicsgreprep.com.
