so im a first year physics student, weve got like almost 2 months of summer break, and i really wanna prepare for NGPE. i know its got a lot pf complex stuff, and i plan on solving jam pyqs for the stuff ive studied, and studying QM from Griffiths( cause interest, and its asked a lot) i would love any suggestions for this

I was studying EM for my internals, and thinking wow, this stuff is so cool. that lead me to think how i also thought mechanics was cool and i did clear sem 1, where i had mechanics and waves, and now, im thinking, ive actually not done a lot of mechanics, and im just wondering, when? like apart from entrances, idt id need to study mechanics again. so do i just complete 3 years of undergrad without actually getting most of mechanics? (ok maybe not most of it, i just mean i wont be able to solve a lot of problems now, and that will just get worse with time)

like i find it troubling that i would receive a degree without ever having a decent proficiency in that subject. "passing" it is all thats required.

i doubt id do much of mech at the masters level, so is my journey with mechanics(or any other subject in general) just over? and yes, study it yourself, ofc. but theres no time... and this would get worse with each semester. i cant keep studying the old subjects cause i wont have time to do the new ones then.

what do you do? do you just forget a subject and move on?
