Preparing for the Comp Sci. GRE? 36

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?"

    The best way to prepare for a GRE in Computer Science is to study computer science. A variety of four-year programs are offered at hundreds of universities around the world. Apply early and you might get a scholarship.

    Courses in "Microsoft Word2000" probably will be a bit off the mark. You might have to study some algebra and maybe even some literature (if you don't choose University of Phoenix, that is).

    I know this is a little late so nobody will read it but whatever.

    The one thing that screwed me over was that I didn't take a senior-level Automata/Formal Languages course. I got jacked by questions like:

    I A context-free language is also a regular language
    II A regular language is also a context-free language
    III Your mom

    Which of the above statements are true?
    a. I, II, III
    b. I, III
    c. I, II
    d. III
    e. eat me

    Still, I got into grad school...

BLISS is ignorance.
