Students planning to attend graduate school in mathematics may need to take the Graduate Record Examination general exam as well as the GRE mathematics subject exam. The requirements depend on the graduate school and the program. Generally, the more selective the program the more likely it is that both exams are required.

In the fall semester every year,a faculty member from the Mathematics Department offers a review class for the GRE mathematics subject exam extending over an 8-10 week period during which problems from previous exams are reviewed. The purpose of the class is two-fold: to provide students with some familiarity with the kinds of problems as well as the level of difficulty of the problems which appear on the exams and to review some of the important and relevant topics from various undergraduate mathematics courses.

If you are interested in a review session, please inquire EARLY in the fall.

Students may obtain information about both the general and the subject exams directly from the website at http://www.gre.org/.
