physicist taking gre subject math, any advice?
Posted: Thu Sep 29, 2016 10:11 pm
Hi,
I graduated from Physics and I don't have a solid background in Abstract Algebra and Number Theory.
Since I have limited time to study for my GRE subject math (1 month), I've been thinking about ignoring those topics and focusing in Calculus and Linear Algebra where I think I have better chances.
What do you think about this choice? Is a reasonably good performance in those areas going to put me over 800 in the scaled score? Assume the worst case scenario: I do terribly bad in Num. Theo. and Abs. Alg.
I will appreciate if you can provide some stats on the historic weights of each of those areas.
Thanks!
