Preparing for a Junior Q&M Final: Strengthening Concepts

In summary, the person is asking for resources to strengthen their conceptual understanding for their upcoming Q&M final. They specifically mention wanting resources for junior level Q&M and someone recommends "Lectures on quantum theory: mathematical and structural foundations" by Chris Isham and "Feynman Lectures Vol III" as well as "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths. There is a brief discussion about the use of "Q&M" instead of "Quantum Mechanics".

I have a Q&M final coming up. The math I can do. However I would like to strengthen the concepts.
Can anyone point to a resource that includes conceptual test? This is for junior level Q&M.
Thanks

What do you mean by "concepts"? If you just want to improve your general understanding of the subject, I recommend "Lectures on quantum theory: mathematical and structural foundations" by Chris Isham.

Feynman Lectures Vol III.

Assuming you don't already use this textbook, Griffiths' "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" is always an excellent resource. Heck, I've used it more in grad school than I did as an undergrad

I don't mean to be a dick, but why "Q&M"? Where's the "&" come from?
