It is a written test that you take in person, and covers more areas of math than you have probably taken as an undergraduate math major (especially if you take the test as a junior in spring or even as a senior in the fall).  Roughly speaking, the test is{{ :butterfly_proof.jpg?nolink&300|}} +The Math Subject GRE is a whole other subject.  It is **only offered THREE (3) times a year**, **twice** in the fall (usually October and November) and **once** in the spring (usually April).
