This is not for the Maths part of the General GRE. This is for the GRE Subject Test in Maths. Feel free to add or comment.

  • How do I know the definition of rings or of anything on the GRE given that definitions can vary?

  • What does the subject GRE measure?

  • I think trying to relearn an entire undergraduate degree's worth of mathematics purely for this test would be an enormous waste of precious time and energy. You can't make this test your life,you have other priorities. I'd begin talking to graduate students who have been through the test-see what they'd recommend. - Mathemagician1234

UChicago has a very large list of unique questions that I don't see linked here (if it is, sorry I just missed it!). See: math.uchicago.edu/~min/GRE – Jonathan Rayner

Just found a YouTube channel called ProfOmarMath - has a selection of good videos discussing content and dissecting GRE questions. See youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBiVnG9A5gceFbk7oTBHALETI2SUmplIL - Jordan Mitchell Barrett

Book resources:

  1. Morris Bramson --> I think this is better than REA because Bramson tests more on understanding while REA tests more on knowledge. Idk. Disagreements welcome.

Schaum's outlines "Advanced Mathematics for Engineers and Scientists" has some excellent ODE, linear algebra, and complex problems that mimic the ones I have seen on practice exams.
