University of Chicago Graduate Problems in Physics with Solutions

It's a hard book but must be mastered by everyone.

This book is not as useful to me as the Major American Universities Ph.D. Qualifying Questions and Solutions books, however it still provides adequate examples of problems in most of the major disciplines within the field of physics. The book is organized such that the problems are presented in the first ~half of the book, and the rest of the book is dedicated to detailed solutions. I would prefer that problems and solutions be printed together on the same page, however this setup is satisfactory.

This book was mostly helpful for seeing what kind of problems I might expect. The solutions part is not all that helpful for many of the problems.

If you're studying for a Ph.D prelim exam, this is a must. Some of the problems (and sections) seem impractical and unnecessary. However, there are other parts of the book that are a necessity so it makes up for it.

Useless if it is the only book you use to prepare for the comprehensive​ exams.

Just like old
