Excerpts
ABOUT THIS BOOK
This book provides an intensive, complete review of all the math
essentials you need to know to master the GRE Mathematics Subject Test.
It is our intention to provide practice that is somewhat more demanding
than the test itself, so that you can be confident come Test Day. Our goal
is to help the student reach a high level of math competence.
Inside this book you’ll find six full-length REA practice tests based on the format
of the most recently administered GRE test, but even more challenging.
Like the GRE test itself, each of our model tests lasts two hours and 50
minutes. Each one includes every type of question you can expect to
encounter on the actual exam. We also give you an answer key complete
with detailed explanations that spell out how the correct answers were
arrived at. By completing all six practice exams and studying the
explanations that follow, you can discover your strengths and weaknesses
and become well prepared for the actual exam.

To help you brush up on the subject matter, the book also features
281 pages of topical reviews, summarizing the essentials of the various
topics covered on the GRE Mathematics test. Again, our approach is to
cover all the ground necessary to fully frame the test. Our reviews are
designed to work as an at-a-glance overview of the many topics the test
covers. Should you require more detailed coverage, you’ll want to consult
a textbook whose contents parallel the topical coverage of the GRE.
ABOUT THE TEST
The GRE Mathematics Test is offered three times a year by Educational
Testing Service, under the direction of the Graduate Record
Examinations Board. Applicants for graduate school submit GRE test
results together with other undergraduate records as part of a highly
competitive admission process.
The questions on the test are composed by a committee of specialists
who are selected from various undergraduate and graduate faculties
across the U.S. This test consists of 66 multiple-choice questions. Some
questions are grouped together under a particular diagram and/or graph.
Emphasis is placed on these areas:
I. Calculus (50%)
Material learned in the usual sequence of elementary
calculus courses—differential and integral calculus of one and
of several variables—includes calculus-based applications and
connections with coordinate geometry, trigonometry, differential
equations, and other branches of mathematics.
II. Algebra (25%)
A. Elementary algebra: basic algebraic techniques
and manipulations acquired in high school and used throughout
mathematics
B. Linear algebra: matrix algebra, systems of linear
equations, vector spaces, linear transformations, characteristic
polynomials, eigenvalues and eigenvectors
C. Abstract algebra and number theory: elementary
topics from group theory; the theory of rings and modules, field
theory, and number theory
III. Additional Topics (25%)
A. Introductory real analysis: sequences and series of
numbers and functions, continuity, differentiability and intergrability,
elementary topology of R and Rn
B. Discrete mathematics: logic, set theory, combinatorics,
graph theory, and algorithms
C. Other topics: general topology, geometry, complex
variables, probability and statistics, and numerical analysis
This list is by no means all-embracing. (You may, for example,
face questions asking you to find the correct mathematical model to
represent a “real-life” situation.) The test requires more than simple
recall: It gauges both your understanding of fundamental concepts and
your ability to apply these concepts in specific situations. Because of
the wide gamut of coursework in undergraduate mathematics, not all
the material that you may have studied will be presented on the exam.
Rather, the questions are based on the courses of study most commonly
offered in an undergraduate mathematics curriculum.
SCORING YOUR PRACTICE TESTS
Each correct answer receives one “raw score” point, each incorrect answer
deducts one-quarter of a point, and any omissions are not counted.
Your scaled score is what is sent on to the colleges, and your estimated
percentile rank shows how you stack up against other students who have
taken the exam in a recent three-year period.
While taking REA’s practice tests, it is critical to observe the same
conditions that you will find during the actual test administration:
• Work in a quiet place, free from distractions and interruptions.
• Do not use any reference materials, calculators, or slide rules
since these items cannot be used during the test.
• Work straight through each test. There are no breaks during the
actual exam.
• Time yourself accurately, if possible with a wristwatch, stopwatch
or clock alarm. Looking up to check the time will act as a
distraction (watches with alarms or flashing lights are not permitted at
the testing center).
• Since incorrect answers are each penalized one-quarter of a point,
and unanswered questions are not counted, it is not generally a good
idea to guess. However, if you are able to eliminate one or more of the
answers, guessing may be to your advantage statistically (that is, your
odds of choosing the correct answer will improve).
