I completed a masters in physics my first time around, and over a decade later decided to do a masters in maths (which I completed).
On my own experiences, if you're willing to put the hours in, the prospects are pretty good. Maths isn't magic, and I found there wasn't much at the standard masters level that couldn't be at least managed (if not mastered) with significant but not superhuman effort.
I've no idea about math GREs; I'm in the UK.

- EliRivers 11y agoGiven the context of this thread, let me say my chosen specialisations in the Physics were generally not towards the frightening mathematics end of the spectrum (and without naming specific subjects, the lowest score I achieved in my entire life on any exam was in a maths heavy exam in the final year of my formal physics education). I was not a mathematical wunderkind.
