Introduction This guide is a synthesis of other documents on the website of the Society of Physics Students, my past lecture notes and summaries, and my experience doing the practice/real test papers. I took the test during the fall semester of the senior year and only had two days to fully devote myself to the preparation. I basically went over the materials in this guide and practiced three sample tests. It covers almost all topics in the test. If you fully master them, you should be able to get over 85 questions correct. I hope this document would prove helpful if you are under time constraint. However, it is advisable that you spend roughly a week’s time to work through all four available practice tests. You’re welcome to improve upon this version of the guide and to type up this document in Latex for online sharing. Lin Cong 2008.12
