How do I prepare for the GRE Computer Science subject test? Are there any standard text books I should follow? I want to score as competitively as possible.

What are some good references? Is there anything that top schools like CMU, MIT, and Standford would expect? For example, Cormen et al is considered very good for algorithms.

Please tell me standard text books for each subject covered by the test, like Computer Architecture, Database Design, Operating Systems, Discrete Maths etc.
