Calculus Textbook for Math GRE Prep

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on preparing for the Math GRE subject test, specifically seeking a calculus textbook with challenging problems. The user plans to utilize an old edition of "Calculus" by Edwards and Penney due to its quality problems and affordability. In addition to this textbook, the user is also considering practice tests and the Princeton Review book as part of their study strategy. A strong theoretical background is noted, but the user acknowledges a lack of recent computational practice.

I am taking the Math GRE subject test this Spring and I am quite scared of it. Does anyone know of a calculus textbook with particularly difficult problems that would help me study for it? How should I prepare for it in addition to taking practice tests and studying the Princeton review book? I have a strong background in theory but have not done very much computation since freshman year...

I plan on using and old edition of Edwards and Penney mostly because the problems are pretty good and it only cost me $2.
