I have read a lot of various threads on both this website and other website claiming that the GRE mathematics exam has become exceedingly difficult over the years. For example, the document available at the link goes as far as to claim that the official practice tests available are next to useless.
However, I have been unable to find any resource that concretely substantiates this claim. Therefore, I'm hoping students who have taken the exam in the recent past could comment/answer on this post to explain their experience with the exam, and how the exam has become difficult in terms of content, difficulty of questions etc. Moreover, I think it would be great if someone could gives examples of various questions that have appeared in the recent past to substantiate the claim. I suppose discussing exam questions from a test administered months ago isn't against any rules.
This way, I suppose, students who wish to take the exam in the near future will be able to better prepare for the exam.
It seems like they asked a lot of single variable calculus stuff. It was pretty challenging. I was a TA in 1991 when I took it for the third time and my score finally went up from the 64% to the 88%. I was probably teaching alot of first year calculus and, as a friend so winsomely put it, "it gets cherry when you teach it"... I was going for the NSF fellowship. Still not good enough to get it... I didn't really need the fellowship, I had a TAship. I didn't get my phd. Didn't write my thesis... I really don't know about other years. ..
