The reading section focuses on reading comprehension, critical reasoning, sentence completions, vocabulary, and etymology.  Each of these areas includes vocabulary drills.  Strategies are outlined to improve reading comprehension, including classifying questions into six main categories and providing a Three-Step Method to help you focus on the pertinent information in the reading selections.  Pivotal words, which could change the meaning of a sentence or even whole reading excerpt, are reviewed.  The section on critical reasoning will help you improve your understanding of passages where multiple points of view are presented.  It will assist you with determining the premise of each view and discover the viable conclusions.  It also addresses the difference between inductive and deductive reasoning.

Important strategies for SAT studying include narrowing down which vocabulary to learn and ways to learn it.  Nova Press’s SAT Prep Course book provides you with two lists:  one with the recurring words from past SAT tests and a more extensive list that includes good possibilities for words that could be included in the future.  The words are listed alphabetically, and the longer list includes short matching quizzes.  The etymology section that follows the vocabulary lists helps you to learn the origin of words, which can assist with determining the definition of a word you don’t know.

The writing section explains how the essays are scored, reviews grammar rules, gives you suggestions on how to improve sentence and paragraph structure, and provides some drills reinforce the information covered.
