64 questions in less than three hours? And all of them quite different. That is one tough exam!

It says "The scores of the Mathematics Test population have increased substantially since the test was first scaled in 1952, and an increasingly large percentage of individuals each year have been earning 990, the highest possible score on the scale."

Good news for mathematics, but bad news for someone taking the test.

Is the answer to 63

Nope identity, you gotta add one more.

But how???

Oh I see, too bad the 'solve' command only gives 2 solutions >.<

When are you taking it? I need to take mine very soon as well.

Sounds like a good plan. It's nice to have extra chances if you feel that you didn't prepare yourself well enough the first time around. I don't think that anything I'm taking this coming semester will help me too much on the exam, so I'm thinking about taking it in August too, and possibly a retake if I feel that I could have done better. My only problem is that I need to figure out if I'll be at home or at school when the test is administered. I'll probably be at school for TA training though. I think I have about 2 weeks still before I need to be certain of that so I can register by the deadline.

hi everybody. Check this out.
let x is in [1,3] and y is in [1,4] whare x and y are uniform random variables. what is the probability that y>x?

Ricky. Sorry for digging up this old topic but I was just interested in it. Did you actually take the GRE? How did you do? I am just a freshman right now doing a Math major and Im just taking Calculus I and I was fairly intimidated by that test...I hope the next 4 years of math classes prepare for it.

Hehe. I guess we are similar. I behave the same when taking tests or doing something that requires my total attention. Its like, my mind is totally concentrated on what im doing but its like my body starts moving to relieve the stress, like I start bumping my legs, making weird faces etc. :p

Anyways, by knowing your taking the GRE I would assume you are an undergrad student, right? By looking at some of your posts I actually expected you to hold a Phd in math or something because you seem very knowledgeable. What college you going to?

I see. Im still a freshman so i got a long way to go but hey, I heard time flies in college.

When I entered college I came with the idea of doing a Double Major in Math and CS but some of the classes that are required for the CS major I simply hate which require public speaking, presentations etc. So I decided to drop the CS major and actually just minor in it which doesnt require any of the useless extra classes so Im hoping to do a math major and cs minor.

You mentioned about getting into a a Phd program right after you graduate. I have similar ideas but also a lot of doubts since I dont know if one must first get a MS and then a Phd or just get the Phd straight. Whats the best route in your opinion?

Im currently attending FIU here in Miami and I would love to go to UM (University of Miami) for Graduate School. I was researching a bit and it shows that if you apply for the Phd and request financial assistance they give you a tuition waiver for 18 credits (each credit costs $1300 so you do the math ) and also an stipend ranging from 15-17k for being a Teaching Assistance. That would be so PERFECT for me. They also dont require the GRE Math subject test but I think im still gonna take it just to see how im doing. Lets see what happens. As of right now I would love to go to UM's Grad School but then again im just a freshman.

Heres a post I made about it:

Been nice talking to you Ricky.
