GRE Math Subject Test Prep Courses
Posted: Wed Sep 21, 2016 8:40 am
Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has information about prep courses for the GRE Math Subject Test, e.g., have you heard of any, are they helpful, what is a reasonable price, etc. I can see why someone majoring in math might be reluctant to seek help for a standardized math test. Then again, these boards suggest that it happens.
I have heard of some universities offering free subject test seminars for students, but I don't think a non-student like me would be eligible. I would also have some concerns about instructor competence--given the tricky nature of the exam, a university professor or TA might not know the best way to handle the questions. To me the ideal instructor would be someone who got a perfect or near-perfect score and has remained conversant with the entire syllabus, including all the shortcuts and tricks.
I have found subjectmath.com and am thinking about buying it, but I really do learn best in a classroom environment. Does anyone have any insights or experiences to share? For reference I am in the Los Angeles area, but I am also interested in general comments. Thanks!
