Default Re: Math GRE

The Mathematics subject GRE is going to bear no resemblance to the general GRE, except that both are standardized tests about math. Calculus and linear algebra aren't likely to be enough; I'm pretty sure it covers a good deal of number theory, analysis, and group theory, among other things. I'm guessing somewhat, because I didn't take it, but I remember looking at a guide for it and thinking all of that stuff was on there. Subject GREs are generally beasts, unlike the general - I answered only two thirds of the questions on the physics GRE, with 6 or so incorrect answers, and that was good for 88th percentile.
