The GRE Math subject test looks like it is geared toward people who are seeking to do a Ph.D. in Mathematics.

If you did an undergraduate degree in pure mathematics, then you should have learned all the material on the test, including the sections on Real Analysis, Abstract Algebra, Topology, etc.

If you did some other degree, then although you probably know the material on Calculus and perhaps Linear Algebra, you may have never seen some of this "other" material, and thus you may not score well on this test.

When you designate score recipients for the GRE, you have the option to send scores from the General tests only; the Subject tests only, or all scores from both types of exams.

If you take the Math subject test and score poorly, perhaps you're better off not submitting such a score...
