·Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool you

This review is from: Cracking the GRE Math Test, 2nd Edition (Graduate Test Prep) (Paperback)

I reviewed this book more than 3 times before the exam.

After that, I felt somewhat confident about the exam.

but actual exam I took today(4/2, 2005) showed that

the real exam is much much harder than this well -writen

practice book. Some advanced topic, topology,real anaylsis,

abstract algrebra is way way hard. You better review or study with actual textbook.

DON'T prepare for the exam with ONLY THIS BOOK.

I took the GRE math subject with this book as my only preparation. It prepared me well. The book provides many examples. I recommend working through them, and comparing your answers with provided solutions. The book is short enough that you can work through it in a week, but comprehensive that it covers just about all the topics you will see on the Math subject test. It was in fact a good experience for me to review all the things I learned in college, and saw that there are a couple big themes and they all fit nicely together.The book contains a few typos. Also, I didn't see any questions on the actual test from the topics covered in the last chapter (additional topics). But that could just be my particular test.

Personally, I find all the books written by Steven Leduc extremely helpful. This book is not an exception. The topics are smoothly presented, and practice problems are very helpful. The candidate (for Math GRE, that is) will still need to get more practice in his/her weak areas even after reading this book. While this book is a great help, it should not be the only book used for GRE test preparation.
