Is Apostol's Calculus a Good Book to Use for GRE Math Subject Test Prep?

Question

I am going to take the math subject GRE, and after looking at the main topics (calculus, diff eqns, linear algebra, prob, and algebra), I got to wondering if Apostol's text on Calculus might not be a bad book to work from (since it contains calc, prob theory, linear algebra and diff eqns). I am not sure if this text has the depth I would need, but past posts suggest that working problems from Stewart is good practice for the calc part and I can't imagine Stewart would be more advanced than Apostol (although the former might have more problems). Was wondering if anyone having experience with the tests could confirm my notions. Thanks, Matt

Download the practice GRE Math Subject Test from https://www.ets.org/s/gre/pdf/practice_book_math.pdf, and take the enclosed test under realistic testing conditions. That should tell you whether Apostol or Stewart is better.
