Calculating the free energy of mixing.
Spend 60 minutes on a single problem. Write down every assumption. Literally write: "I think step 1 uses the Gaussian chain assumption." Even if you fail, you have primed your brain. Polymer Physics Rubinstein Solutions Manual

Polymer Physics by Rubinstein and Colby is widely considered the seminal text for modern graduate-level education in the field. It bridges the gap between the rigorous statistical mechanics of Flory and de Gennes and the modern, scaling-relationship approach used in contemporary research. scaling-relationship approach used in contemporary research.
