Does anyone want to discuss about GRE Subject Test - Maths with me?

[vn_snoopy]

Hi, I'm planning to take the GRE subject test - Mathematics. I'm just starting working on it, and it will be great for me if u have some topics to discuss with me.

Thanks all of u.

hi snoopy. I'm planning to take gre subject math as well, on Nov 13th. Starting to prepare for it by reviewing my undergraduate lectures.. but there are some topics i never studied or dont remember them, such as: number theory, numerical analysys. What preparation materials are you using?

[vn_snoopy]

Until now I just use whatever come to my hand, usually the materials at university or some from the library. But they are quite old fashion. I also don't have the chance to study number theory at school and I'm looking for books on that. About the numerical analysis, I think that it would be a little out dated...
Now I'm doing topology in the book of my teacher (in my native language). BTW, I live in South East Asean.

Hi!

I'm also going to take the Math test at Nov. 13, but I still have several questions (and certainly I AM eager to answer anyone else's questions. )

My general question: is there any (free) sample test on the web besides ETS's official bulletin? I could not find anything...

And here is a more specific one, from an old ('93) ETS test:

Two subgroups H and K of a group G have orders 12 and 30, resp. Which of the following could NOT be the order of the subgroup generated by H and K?

A) 30 B) 60 C) 120 D) 360 E) countable infinity

The official answer is A. However, I can't see why E is OK. I would have thought that both are impossible.

Sorry, I was silly, problem solved... :o

Is there such a score?? I think it's just like TOEFL: the univs will decide (independently from each other) whether your score is enough or not...

In the CompSci test forum the 90+ percentile is often referred to as "stellar", (I definitely disagree with that, I just quoted it). If I were you, I'd try to get some real or sample AGRE tests (the official sample test in the bulletin is a good starting point) and estimate the number of questions you should be able to answer knowing _everything_ you learned at college. That's the score you should try to reach, I think.

where can i find old ETS gre math tests on the net?

[matroid]

I dont know. (If I had known, I would have had a significantly higher score...) As the tests are confidential, you won't find any "official" sources, I think. There are some books, however, published by ETS which contain some (mostly valueless) info about the test in general and 1/2 sample tests.
