| Abysmal.As many have noted: riddled with errors, and irrelevant in so far as an actual GRE test goes. Don't waste your money, or more importantly your time, in dealing with this book. Get onto other physics study materials.
cheap but you could get the new one pretty cheap tooand the new one actually has computerized stuff on it, and the notation in the text's formatting, extent is better.
i spent like $8 bucks total (w/shipping) on this one and then like $17 total on the new one in "used" condition.
Less than 1 stars would be perfectHonestly, unless you happen to have some money in need of wasting, as well as a lot of time before your Physics GRE, don't even think of this piece of c**p. It is the single most unhelpful book I have ever come across. The questions in here don't even go close to the real Physics GRE questions or difficulty level, and the answers are more often meaningless than correct.

Unhelpful, irrelevantIf you studied for the GRE Physics test with this book you would probably do really bad.
To be honest, the actual exam has very few involved calculations. Remember that you are not allowed to use a calculator, so all numbers tend to work out very nicely. The actual exam covers more concepts than really in depth problems.
This book, however, deals with complicated problems. There are many differential equations that need to be solved, and then boundary conditions placed on the solutions. I have not seen this in any GRE practice exam or when I took the exam.
The best test prep I can think of is to go through the practice exams and see what you know, what you need to review and then try it all again. Anything you get right twice, you can start skipping if you redo it a 3rd time. Make sure to keep time -- I just barely got through all 100 questions in the time given.
Horrible BookMany of the answers they provide are simply wrong. The content does not match the actual Physics GRE material.
Product DescriptionThis test preparation book includes four full-length exams with detailed explanations modeled after the actual GRE in Physics. Knowledge of mechanics, electromagnetism, atomic physics, physicoptics and wave phenomena, quantum mechanics, special relativity, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, laboratory methods, and advanced topics tested. Includes a general physics review of all topics tested on the exam. For physics students bound for graduate school.
