Nova Press’s ACT Math Prep Course contains ACT style math questions.  By practicing with questions in the style asked on the ACT, you can be better prepared on test day and so master the ACT.

The ACT tests all the math skills typically obtained by 11th or 12th grade, which means up through Trigonometry.  The test itself is 60 multiple choice questions with 60 minutes to complete.  The questions are listed in ascending order of difficulty.  Nova Press makes sure you know exactly what to expect.  We enlighten you on the breakdown of the section, how it’s graded, and help you learn tips to improve your score.

As far as the math review itself, the book is structured so that the earliest part does not require much prior knowledge about mathematics.  That way, you can review the most basic concepts before moving on to more complicated topics.  Each topic includes clear explanations with examples, so you can see the information in action.  They also include practice problems so you can apply the information based on that topic on your own.  The answers are given in the very next section, with explanations for why each choice from the multiple choice is right or wrong.  The book ends with a diagnostic/review test so you can prepare for the set-up of the actual test, with all of the topics mixed together.

Don’t stress over finding ACT style math questions.  Study with Nova Press’s ACT Math Prep Course and get everything you need in one place.

Nova Press wants to make sure you are fully prepared for SAT writing.  Our SAT Prep Course, in whichever format you decide to get it, includes a detailed writing section that reviews everything you need to know for the writing section of the SAT.

The writing section first clarifies the format of the test so you know exactly what to expect.  We then review grammar rules and common errors, like pronoun errors, subject-verb agreement, misplaced and redundant modifiers, faulty parallelism, and faulty verb tenses.  Error identification isn’t the main point of writing, though, so we also look at ways to vary sentence structure, improve paragraph structure, and how to use idioms in order to help you start to find your own writing style.

Included in the book is a review of punctuation, just to make sure we’ve covered everything.  Topics include commas, semicolons, colons, dashes, apostrophes, sentence fragments, and run-on sentences.

Finally, we delve into the actual writing.  There are many sample writing prompts along with guides on how to approach them to understand exactly what they’re asking you to write.  The book includes a rubric so you can evaluate your own writing with the same criteria the test-graders use.  We also outline several basic steps that you can use on test day to structure your essay before you begin writing.   Several examples of prompts along with possible responses are included for your evaluation, followed by practice prompts for you to practice your writing.

Nova Press has the materials to help you be prepared for the SAT writing section.  Whether you prefer a printed book, ebook, online course, software or an iPhone or iPad app, our SAT Prep course will help you be prepared on test day.

Taking a sample MCAT test is important before test day.  Nova Press’s MCAT Trilogy provides many sample questions, providing you with a good idea of what to expect on the test.  As the MCAT is such a large test with a broad spectrum of information covered, Nova Press’s books are broken down by subject.  The MCAT Trilogy together provide the most comprehensive MCAT prep available.

Our MCAT Physics book takes a conceptual approach to MCAT physics, assisting you to learn concepts instead of memorizing obscure scientific concepts.  Set up in an easy-to-follow format, even students who struggle with physics will be able to follow, understand, and master the logical explanation of each key concept.  Additionally, it includes 49 MCAT-style passages, 500 challenging MCAT-style practice problems, detailed step-by-step solutions to all problems, and illustrations and tables to further clarify the concepts discussed.

The MCAT Biology book provides a comprehensive review of MCAT biology as well as a thorough analysis of the MCAT Verbal section.  In twenty chapters, learn the core concepts of MCAT biology through logically outlined, straightforward text. Illustrations help emphasize relevant topics and clarify difficult concepts. Each chapter concludes with a set of problems modeled after the MCAT exam, with complete, detailed explanation of the answers.  This book also strives to help you understand concepts instead of rote memorization of facts.  In addition to thoroughly covering all of the concepts on the test, this book includes 8 chapters of test-taking strategies, including reading comprehension and critical reasoning.

The MCAT Chemistry Book presents a comprehensive review of MCAT general chemistry and organic chemistry in an easy-to-follow, logical format.  Each branch of chemistry is covered extensively, including illustrations and tables when necessary to help students understand the more difficult MCAT chemistry concepts. At the conclusion of each chapter, challenging practice problems test and further your comprehension.  Detailed explanations for the answers are also included.

Don’t blindly wonder what the test will be like.  Working with Nova Press’s MCAT Trilogy will help you be prepared to master the MCAT.
