Idk it's harder than the SAT kind of? But mostly the same thing. Depends on how you do on standardized tests i suppose

I found it to be a lot easier than the SAT, actually.

I would just brush up on your basic math skills.  Get familiar with short cuts like how to count consecutive numbers quickly (A - B + 1) or finding the sum of consecutives (sum = average x number of terms).

Generally all triangle questions will have a short cut of some sort.  I recommend knowing how to spot special right triangles.  Look for side proportions of 3:4:5 or 5:12:13.  Also angles of 30, 60, 90 (side ratios of square root 3, 2, 1) and 45, 45, 90 ( side ratios of 1, 1, square root 2).  This will save you a bunch of time.

Brush up on probability.  Know your mean, median, mode, and range.  Become familiar with linear equations and graphs again...

The reading comprehension and vocab portions of the text were straight forward.

All and all, it was a very easy test..  BUT THEN AGAIN, I did study for a month using a Kaplan study book... Soooo......

I thought I remembered calc?

Even from study guides you have to admit the vocab is much rarer than the SAT which would ask you words that are used in every day conversation

Nah, it doesn't deal with calculus. ... At least, I didn't have to.

i think calculus is only used on the gre subject test

Well I was thinking that my summer Calc class would help because that required the basic math skills I would ASSUME would be the type of stuff found on the GRE...
