Is anyone here preparing for this, has done the exam recently, or is familiar with it, and would like to share their approach to prepare for it? What books did you use? I would be interested to hear about books that cover the exam's topics well. I hear Calculus (including Analysis) is about 50% of the test, 25% is Abstract Algebra, and the rest is a bunch of other topics like Differential Equations, Topology, etc.
I'm thinking about preparing to take this last year at a leisurely (but constant) pace, so I want to lay down a strategy and materials to do it confidently. They idea is to get a great grade to apply to be able to apply to some demanding graduate schools.
