I am looking for suggestions pertaining to preparation for the GRE Math Subject Test. I plan to take it around fall semester. Which text preparation books are the best?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Another idea: do a search for Math subject tests, ETS has a page with an actual exam.
 
Thanks, I have looked over that. Have you taken the test?

I did, but it was a long time ago. I didn't do any studying for the GRE beforehand.

Anything you want to share pertaining to your score and undergrad studies would be appreciated.
 
No, but I am preparing for it. Go to your local B&N and check out the testing section. I will head there tonight and will let you know.

In those days (1974) there were only two parts of the regular GRE - Verbal and Quantitative. I did well enough on those to join MENSA (which I didn't do). For the Math Advanced Test, I got 750.

My undergrad degree was in Mathematics, which I received a few months after I took the GRE.
