J^T’s GRE Computer Science Test Study Guide

When I was preparing to apply to CS graduate programs, the GRE Computer Science Test was a big unknown for me. What is on it? Do I know what I need to know? Did my undergrad program skip something the test expects? Had I forgotten something from my early courses? I found very few study materials for the GRE Computer Science Test. And what I found was quite poor, and even wrong! So, here is my solution for you.


This study guide is just that—a guide. It’s a set of “pointers” to the various bits of information you should refresh your recollection of, in order to do well on the test. You can use it as a study checklist. It is NOT a set of practice tests (you can get those for free from ETS). It is NOT a bad attempt at paraphrasing your textbooks (you have your books already).
