I'm also interested to hear what ppl say....
 
what are you working out of. If its kaplan don't worry. WHen i took their tests i almost cried. Just keep working on your speed. Kaplan GRE/GMAT book is good for math! only 18 dollars.
 
I've been working on the first kaplan subject test for QR.....some are ok, others seem impossible....which is just a tad bit FRUSTRATING....: (
 
again don't worry i almost started to cry with some of those tests. if you aren't good at math i really suggest that kaplan math book. it gives good shortcuts.
 
I DID cry, for a sec though, then i went to the gym......sigh.

I wish I could cry like that, sounds fun 😉 At this point, I am so devastated I cannot even have any emotions... 😱 😡

I did all the practice tests (7 total) n go over every single question after i've done. Just make sure that the real test QR is easier than Kaplan subject test. Btw, the 1st QR practice test i got 9 out of 25... horrible 🙁 i did wanna kill myself after that... but well... it's getting better ... just practice...

Good luck everyone. We can do it.

Dont be so humble. I know you are much better than that. When u take the test?
 
so its not just so much the algabraic problems but it's the WORD problems that kill me, and I don't know how much I can do to prepare for these since most word probs are very different from the next.

I hope (& pray) that I am better than that. I'll take the test 2-3 weeks after I receive my 1-800 number.

check out Math for Standardized Exams by Cliff Notes $9, get a small Trig suppliment. These will definitely help.
