Topology for GRE: Munkres vs Royden and Fitzpatrick?

Question

This answer suggests to do Munkres Topology for the GRE Subject Test in Mathematics: recommending books for GRE math subject test

1. Up to approximately which chapter is needed for the GRE?

Of course only ETS can say for sure. But I believe those who have studied topology will be able to have a good guess.

2. I just found out that Real Analysis by Royden and Fitzpatrick has sections on Topology. What's the difference between their sections and Munkres Topology?

I mean, is one more detailed than the other? Could Royden and Fitzpatrick Real Analysis' sections on Topology perhaps suffice for the GRE?

I guess Munkres Topology is broader or more detailed while Royden and Fitzpatrick cover the parts needed for real analysis or something.

Answer 1

In my opinion, they are both overkill. I took the exam twice having taken a course in topology (mostly geometric stuff like classification of surfaces) and I didn't feel lacking. The focus should be primarily on vector calculus anyways since the majority of the test is on this subject.

There is this guide and it is well put together, but probably a bit overkill. I would agree that it's a good idea to do the problems up until metrization if you have time, certainly some topology problems are directly on the test and some problems can be more quickly solved using topology so it doesn't hurt, it's just more work.

From comment:

they're both overkill but if I were you I would use Royden's sections. an old guide I have reads, "-Do the problems in Munkres' topology, but only up to Metrization theorems (As many as time permits)"
