yoyobarn Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Hi, I am an international student (from Singapore) intending to pursue PhD in USA... I am currently in my second year from a undergraduate course in pure Mathematics. When should I start preparing for the Math GRE? Thanks for any tips!

Bukharan Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 The sooner the better. I recommend to start preparing for GRE (general or subject) six months before the test. One hour a day every day of studying does wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One hour a day every day of studying does wonders. Agreed! As early as you can think of. Some of the content in the GRE subject is third year level material, so that needs some serious studying.

barber5 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I started the night before because I knew it didn't really matter for the programs I was applying for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slorg Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Why prepare for it? I think everyone should take it, and just let the test reflect their knowledge. Gaming the system reduces its effectiveness. ConGrUenCy and OH YEAH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreamandSugar Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 How is studying for a test "gaming the system"? That's how school works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barber5 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 Depending on what you're planning to study preparing might be a waste of time. I started preparing the night before I took it and got plenty high enough for what I'm studying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OH YEAH Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Why prepare for it? I think everyone should take it, and just let the test reflect their knowledge. Gaming the system reduces its effectiveness. I agree, and I also think people shouldn't prepare for job interviews either. It would make life a lot easier for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
