20% Classical Mechanics 18% Electricity & magnetism 12% Quantum mechanics 10% Thermo+stat. mech.10% Atomic physics 9% Optics and waves 9% Special topics 6% Special relativity 6% Laboratory methods

Questions test mastery of material from a typical undergraduate curriculum. For the most part the exam draws from Halliday and Resnick level classical, E&M,Thermo, optics, and waves. Quantum and atomic physics typical of a 3rd semester modern physics course.

The exam is scored in a two step process A raw score is computed as: C - 1/4 I where C is the number of correct answers and I is the number of incorrect answers. Un-answered (U) questions earn 0 points. There are many combinations which earn the same raw score. For example: C = 52, I=8, U=40 : R= 50 C = 60, I=40, U=0: R= 50

The raw score is then converted to a scaled score. The scaling procedure is complicated and tries to account for bad questions and the relative difficulty of this year s exam compared to previous years.
