LISTENING LEARNING LEADING., GRADUATE RECORD EXAMINATIONS, and GRE are registered trademarks of Educational Testing Service (ETS) in the United States of America and other countries throughout the world Overview The GRE® Mathematics Test consists of approximately 66 multiple-choice questions drawn from courses commonly offered at the undergraduate level Testing time is hours and 50 minutes; there are no separately-timed sections This publication provides a comprehensive overview of the GRE Mathematics Test to help you get ready for test day It is designed to help you: • • • • • Understand what is being tested Gain familiarity with the question types Review test-taking strategies Understand scoring Practice taking the test To learn more about the GRE Subject Tests, visit www.ets.org/gre Test Content Approximately 50 percent of the questions involve calculus and its applications — subject matter that is assumed to be common to the backgrounds of almost all mathematics majors About 25 percent of the questions in the test are in elementary algebra, linear algebra, abstract algebra, and number theory The remaining questions deal with other areas of mathematics currently studied by undergraduates in many institutions The following content descriptions may assist students in preparing for the test The percents given are estimates; actual percents will vary somewhat from one edition of the test to another Calculus (50%) • Material learned in the usual sequence of elementary calculus courses — differential and integral calculus of one and of several variables — including calculusbased applications and connections with coordinate geometry, trigonometry, differential equations, and other branches of mathematics GRE Mathematics Test Practice Book Algebra (25%) • Elementary algebra: basic algebraic techniques and manipulations acquired in high school and used throughout mathematics • Linear algebra: matrix algebra, systems of linear equations, vector spaces, linear transformations, characteristic polynomials, and eigenvalues and eigenvectors • Abstract algebra and number theory: elementary topics from group theory, theory of rings and modules, ield theory, and number theory Additional Topics (25%) • Introductory real analysis: sequences and series of numbers and functions, continuity, differentiability and integrability, and differentiability and integrability elementary topology topology of R ‫ ޒ‬and and Rn ‫ޒ‬n • Discrete mathematics: logic, set theory, combinatorics, graph theory, and algorithms • Other topics: general topology, geometry, complex variables, probability and statistics, and numerical analysis The above descriptions of topics covered in the test should not be considered exhaustive; it is necessary to understand many other related concepts Prospective test takers should be aware that questions requiring no more than a good precalculus background may be quite challenging; such questions can be among the most dificult questions on the test In general, the questions are intended not only to test recall of information, but also to assess the understanding of fundamental concepts and the ability to apply those concepts in various situations Preparing for the Test GRE Subject Test questions are designed to measure skills and knowledge gained over a long period of time Although you might increase your scores to some extent through preparation a few weeks or months before you take the test, last minute cramming is unlikely to be of further help Page The following information may be helpful • A general review of your college courses is probably the best preparation for the test However, the test covers a broad range of subject matter, and no one is expected to be familiar with the content of every question • Use the practice test to become familiar with the types of questions in the GRE Mathematics Test, taking note of the directions If you understand the directions before you take the test, you will have more time during the test to focus on the questions themselves Test-Taking Strategies The questions in the practice test in this book illustrate the types of multiple-choice questions in the test When you take the actual test, you will mark your answers on a separate machine-scorable answer sheet Following are some general test-taking strategies you may want to consider • Read the test directions carefully, and work as rapidly as you can without being careless For each question, choose the best answer from the available options • All questions are of equal value; not spend time pondering individual questions you ind extremely dificult or unfamiliar • You may want to work through the test quite rapidly, irst answering only the questions about which you feel conident, then going back and answering questions that require more thought, and concluding with the most dificult questions if there is time • If you decide to change an answer, make sure you completely erase it and ill in the oval corresponding to your desired answer • Questions for which you mark no answer or more than one answer are not counted in scoring • Your score will be determined by subtracting one-fourth the number of incorrect answers Page from the number of correct answers It is unlikely that pure guessing will raise your score; it may lower your score However, if you have some knowledge of a question and are able to rule out one or more of the answer choices as incorrect, your chances of selecting the correct answer are improved, and answering such questions will likely improve your score • Record all answers on your answer sheet Answers recorded in your test book will not be counted • Do not wait until the last ive minutes of a testing session to record answers on your answer sheet What Your Scores Mean Your raw score — that is, the number of questions you answered correctly minus one-fourth of the number you answered incorrectly — is converted to the scaled score that is reported This conversion ensures that a scaled score reported for any edition of a GRE Mathematics Test is comparable to the same scaled score earned on any other edition of the test Thus, equal scaled scores indicate essentially equal levels of performance regardless of the test edition taken GRE Mathematics Test scores are reported on a 200 to 990 score scale in ten-point increments Test scores should be compared only with other scores on the GRE Mathematics Test For example, a 680 on the GRE Mathematics Test is not equivalent to a 680 on the GRE Physics Test Taking the Practice Test The practice test begins on page The total time that you should allow for the practice test is hours and 50 minutes An answer sheet is provided for you to mark your answers to the test questions It is best to take the practice test under timed conditions Find a quiet place to take the test and make sure you have a minimum of hours and 50 minutes available GRE Mathematics Test Practice Book To simulate how the administration will be conducted at the test center, print the answer sheet (pages 65 and 66) Then go to page 62 and follow the instructions for completing the identiication areas of the answer sheet When you are ready to begin the test, note the time and begin marking your answers on the answer sheet Stop working on the test when hours and 50 minutes have elapsed Scoring the Practice Test The worksheet on page 63 lists the correct answers to the questions Columns are provided for you to mark whether you chose the correct (C) answer or an incorrect (I) answer to each question Draw a line across any question you omitted, because it is not counted in the scoring At the bottom of the page, enter the total number correct and the total number incorrect Divide the total incorrect by and subtract the resulting number from the total correct Then round the result to the nearest whole number This will give you your raw score Use the score conversion table on page 64 to ind the scaled score that corresponds to your raw score Example: Suppose you chose the correct answers to 46 questions and incorrect answers to Dividing by yields 2.25 Subtracting 2.25 from 46 equals 43.75, which is rounded to 44 The raw score of 44 corresponds to a scaled score of 770 Evaluating Your Performance You may use these numbers as a guide for evaluating your performance on each test question Interpretive data based on the scores earned by test takers in a recent three-year period are available in Table 2, Subject Tests Total Score Interpretive Data Used on Score Reports, at www.ets.org/gre/subject/scores/understand The table shows selected scaled scores and the corresponding percentage of test takers who received lower scores Note that these interpretive data are updated annually and appear on GRE score reports To compare yourself with this population, look at the percentage next to the scaled score you earned on the practice test If the scaled score you earned does not appear in the table, look at the scaled scores (and corresponding percentages) above and below the score you earned to assess your performance It is important to realize that the conditions under which you tested yourself were not exactly the same as those you will encounter at a test center It is impossible to predict how different test-taking conditions will affect test performance, and this is only one factor that may account for differences between your practice test scores and your actual test scores By comparing your performance on the practice test with the performance of other individuals who took GRE Mathematics Test, however, you will be able to determine your strengths and weaknesses and can then plan a program of study to prepare yourself for taking the GRE Mathematics Test under standard conditions Now that you have scored your test, you may wish to compare your performance with the performance of others who took this test The data in the worksheet on page 63 are based on the performance of a sample of the test takers who took the GRE Mathematics Test in October 2012 This sample was selected to represent the total population of GRE Mathematics Test examinees tested between July 1, 2011, and June 30, 2014 The numbers in the column labeled “P+” on the worksheet indicate the percentages of examinees in this sample who answered each question correctly GRE Mathematics Test Practice Book Page FORM GR1268 68 GRADUATE RECORD EXAMINATIONS® MATHEMATICS TEST Copyright © 2012, 2007 by Educational Testing Service All rights reserved GRE,
