Graduate Qualifying ExaminationsThe purpose of the Physics Department's graduate qualifying exams (GQE I and II) is to test your understanding of the topics normally covered in undergraduate physics and first-year graduate studies. Both parts of the exam are offered twice each year--January and May. You may take the exam as many times as necessary but you must complete both parts by the beginning of your third year.The minimum passing grade for exams in the past has been approximately 50%; the overall score, however, is not the only criterion for passing. In order to pass, you must show some broad, basic understanding of each area covered. A collection of exams from previous years is available in Student Services. Exams do, however, change slightly in composition from year to year.
