arys asks: "I've been looking around for a good book on the GRE Computer Science subject test but all I found were
a book that is out of print and an other that has the worst reviews possible. What I want to ask is those of you that have taken the test, how did you prepare for it?"
Honestly, it's not a difficult test. If you've been taking classes for at least two years, are interested in the field, and have some wetware in the brainbin, you should have no difficulty at all. I took the CS GRE last year, after 5 semesters of college, and my studying was limited to the (rather helpful) information provided by ETS. I can't tell you how well I did, because I don't know what the scoring scale is. Normal GRE is 200-800, but the subject is on a different scale. In any case, whatever an 840 actually means, it's enough to get you (me) into Stanford... is studying really worth it? Spend the time playing hockey, or masturbating, or something useful.
