Students and Faculty, In 2006, the Physics Graduate Student Council administered a survey to graduate students concerning the general exam system at MIT. The results of the quantitative part of this survey, along with
a report describing the qualitative parts, are attached to this post.
Also attached is a report that compares and contrasts the exam system
at MIT with that of ten other top physics programs in the US.
Finally, a third file, that includes an entire past exam from each of
these universities (if it was available), has also been attached. The
file is large, but the PGSC believed that it was important to provide
example problems in the larger context of the exam itself.
It has been our pleasure compiling this information for the
community. We hope that these reports continue to stimulate
discussion about the exam system at MIT, as well as effectively
illustrate the opinions of the current student body.
Sincerely,
David Guarrera
