GRE Computer Science Subject Test

How do you prepare for GRE Computer Science Subject Test? There are no books or test materials with good votes on amazon, and the sample brochure given by ETS doesn't cover everything. So, does anyone have any suggestions on how to check yourself?

Hey dant.kz,

I have been thinking whether I wanted to take the CS GRE or not so I have looked into some preparation materials. But I haven't actually taken the test. It's true, it's pretty hard to find good test preparation materials for this test, but there are a few. Here is a link that has a list of several useful resources. Especially the Titanium Bits study guide has quite a hand full of good responses on the net. The guy who wrote it asks for $10 if you want to use the study guide beyond a two week period, but I'd say that's incredibly cheap for a good resource. You should check out the other sources as well though, especially the official ETS booklet since it is actually the only "official" ETS preparation material. Finally, others claim that starting with the CLRS Algorithms textbook and other textbooks you used while in undergrad is the way to go. This will give you solid prep since no one test preparation book will cover all the material in enough depth. However, just an aside...do make sure that you actually *need* to take the CS GRE and will benefit from it before you spend a lot of effort on preparing because this will be a difficult test.
