An excellent math review, with a serious and annoying flaw.  |
The book is divided into two parts of about 300 pages each. The first is a review of undergraduate math, from polynomials through calculus to higher undergrad topics like complex variables, statistics, topology, abstract algebra, etc. The second half is a set of 6 practice tests, which I found to be harder than the actual GRE subject test. (That makes for good reviewing, on the students part.) After each test is an answer key and an explanation of each answer.My main concern about this book -- and its a big one -- is that whoever proofread the first half (the "review") apparently doesnt understand math. Some expressions are wrong; some are nonsense. (This was the 1997 printing.) If you know enough math to get past that sort of hazard, I highly recommend the book.

A Decent Preparation for the Math GRE  |
|
This book contains a few hundred pages of math review, six practice exams, and explanations for all the exam answers. Although the content of the exams is close to the actual Math GRE, the "spirit" of the questions is quite different, and the way problems are worked in the explanations is often not the best way to solve problems from the actual GRE. The review section also has some problems--typos, too many elementary topics, and sketchy explanations of complex topics. Still, it makes an okay review, and could help greatly if youre rusty at math.

Thanks for your comments!  |

Im signed up for the test on Dec. 12 and dug out this book to supplement my studies from both the ets and the princeton book. I soon became depressed after the first practice test, scoring maybe 6 out of 10. It made me panic until I read your opinions. Think Ill can this book, as it was psyching me out--
