			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re nervous about the GMAT Verbal part test, no need to stress.  Work with <a title="GMAT Books" href="http://novapress.net/gmat/gmat-prep-materials/books/">Nova Press&#8217;s GMAT Prep Course</a>, and be prepared for anything the Verbal section of the test may throw at you.</p>
<p>The verbal section focuses on four main concepts: reading comprehension, understanding arguments, sentence correction, and analytical writing assessment.  Nova Press makes sure you have all of the practice you need to master all four of these areas, in addition to the math material.  The reading comprehension section of the <a title="GMAT Books" href="http://novapress.net/gmat/gmat-prep-materials/books/">GMAT Prep Course</a> helps you learn to identify the six main types of questions asked, reviews pivotal words that could change the meaning of a question or sentence, and outlines a three-step method that you can use while taking the test to make sure all of your bases are covered.  Included are many reading samples, questions, and clear explanations to teach you to reason through what is being asked.  Extra readings are also included for your extra practice.</p>
<p>The arguments section gives you an introduction of how the word &#8220;argument&#8221; is meant in this section of the GRE, explain how the answer choices may use convoluted wording, and then works through different subsections called &#8220;Logic I&#8221; and &#8220;Logic II&#8221; to help you prepare for the format of the test.  The introduction identifies some of the topics covered and suggestions for further individual practice.  It also details a method you can use to eliminate incorrect answers from the  choices given.  The &#8220;Logic&#8221; sections cover concepts such as conclusions, premises, and counter-premises.  Many examples are given along with clear explanations of each answer choice.  A full section of practice argument questions follows each Logic section, with the correct answers falling in a later subsection.</p>
<p>The sentence correction section includes review of pronoun use, subject-verb agreement, modifier placement, parallelism, verb tenses, adverbs, phrases &amp; clauses, as well as idioms and their usage.  Reviewing these rules will help you with this section of the test as well as the writing section.  Specific examples are given as well as practice questions.</p>
<p>The writing section includes detailed explanations of the two types of writing you will be asked to do, what the test-graders will be looking for in a &#8220;top-half&#8221; score, and suggestions on how to organize your essays.  This section also reviews punctuation and provides general writing tips, to help you begin to develop your own writing style.  The two types of prompts (analysis of an issue and analysis of an argument) are each addressed individually, with sample responses to read and critique as well as prompts for you to practice your writing.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry about the GMAT Verbal part test.  Instead, get to work with <a title="GMAT Books" href="http://novapress.net/gmat/gmat-prep-materials/books/">Nova Press</a> and be prepared to master the GMAT.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Effective GRE online writing practice can be difficult to find.  Sure, you can try to find topics or questions to respond to on your own, but it takes a lot of work, and there&#8217;s not a consistent way to evaluate your own responses.  Nova Press has a<a title="GRE Online Course" href="http://novapress.net/gre/gre-prep/gre-online-course/"> GRE online course</a> that will work wonders for your GRE online writing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re looking for analogies practice, you may not need it.  While the SAT, ACT, and GRE all used to have sections devoted to analogies (cat is to dog as &#8230;.  Well, you get the idea), all tests have been revamped to exclude this section.  Rather, the test may utilize reading excerpts that contain analogies or may have writing prompts that can be best answered with analogies.  Regardless, you can get the practice you need for any and all tests with <a title="Books" href="http://novapress.net/books/">Nova Press&#8217;s test prep books.</a></p>
<p>For each test, a section (or sometimes an entire book) is devoted to the verbal and writing requirements.  Whether you need to build your vocabulary, review grammar and/or punctuation rules, or develop your writing style, we have steps you can take to improve your score.  The writing sections contain prompts, some with sample responses while others are for you to practice your writing.  Rubrics are included so you can evaluate your own writing based on the same criteria the test-graders will use.</p>
<p>The reading sections contain many sample excerpts and questions.  The beginning ones include explanations on how to arrive at the correct answers.  Later excerpts and questions are left for you to figure out on your own, though the answers are given in a later section for your reference.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t stress about analogies prep!  Instead, work towards developing your own writing style and incorporating analogies.  Or work on recognizing the meaning of analogies in reading excerpts.  Either way, work with <a title="Books" href="http://novapress.net/books/">Nova Press</a> to achieve your best.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are three main categories to focus on when studying for the SAT: reading, writing and math.  By working with <a title="SAT/ACT Prep Books" href="http://novapress.net/sat/sat-prep-materials/books/">Nova Press&#8217;s SAT Prep Course</a>, you&#8217;ll be well-situated to improve your score on the SAT and feel more prepared on test day.</p>
<p>The reading section focuses on the following sub-categories:  reading comprehension, sentence completion, critical reasoning, and vocabulary.  The reading comprehension section debunks myths about commonly recommended reading methods and then outlines some approaches that actually work.  We help you learn how to recognize the six main types of questions asked on the test and then teach you how to narrow down the answer choices that fit each type.  We reinforce pivotal words that could change the entire meaning of the reading material, so you don&#8217;t get thrown by the wording.  Finally, a concise method is outlined to help you achieve your best on the actual test.  Practice reading material and questions are given in each sub-section along with answers and explanations.</p>
<p>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, also looking at ways to vary sentence structure and to help you develop your own writing style.  After a brief section on punctuation, we delve into the actual writing.  There are many sample writing prompts along with guides on how to approach the prompts to understand exactly what the test-writers 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 start writing.   Several examples of prompts along with possible responses are included for your evaluation, followed by practice prompts for you to further practice your writing.</p>
<p>The math section reviews many different concepts.  Each concept has a section with rules, examples, and practice problems for you to work through, followed by answers and explanations for you to correct your work.  The end of the chapter contains a diagnostic math test, so you can determine whether you need to revisit any specific concept for further review.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let preparing for the SAT freak you out.  By working with <a title="SAT/ACT Prep Books" href="http://novapress.net/sat/sat-prep-materials/books/">Nova Press&#8217;s SAT Prep Course,</a> you&#8217;ll be prepared to master the SAT on test day.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Don&#8217;t let the data sufficiency questions on the GMAT throw you off your game.  The <a title="GMAT Books" href="http://novapress.net/gmat/gmat-prep-materials/books/">Nova Press GMAT Prep Course</a> clarifies the directions, outlines methods to use during the test to improve your score, warns against common problems, and provides ways for you to check yourself.</p>
<p>The content on the data sufficiency part of the exam is not anymore difficult than the content in the rest of the math section.  Rather, the complicated directions are what increase the difficulty level.  By working with Nova Press, you can know the directions before walking into the test and be clear on what they&#8217;re actually looking for.  We outline how to work through a problem and give clear explanations, so you can follow the reasoning.</p>
<p>Knowing which answers to eliminate can also be key to improving your score.  The Nova Press GMAT Prep Course walks step-by-step through how to know which answers to eliminate.  We give numerous examples with explanations to help you understand the reasoning process, work in a section on warning you about unwarranted assumptions, and how to check extreme cases.</p>
<p>After all of this, you get a chance to work through three sets of problems on your own.  The answers (with explanations) are given in a separate section, so you can check your answers at the end.</p>
<p>Rather than worry about how to study for the data sufficiency section of the GMAT, work with Nova Press.  our <a title="GMAT Books" href="http://novapress.net/gmat/gmat-prep-materials/books/">GMAT Prep Course </a>will make sure you have all of the information you need to master this section (and the rest) of the GMAT.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The average GMAT score varies a bit from year to year.  There are also many different components to it.  You receive separate verbal, math, and writing scores as well as a composite score.  The average verbal score is about 27 while the average math score is about 31.  The average total score is 600.  Want to do better than average?  Let Nova Press help you prepare with the <a title="GMAT Books" href="http://novapress.net/gmat/gmat-prep-materials/books/">Nova Press GMAT Prep Course!</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Looking for an MCAT Verbal Reasoning book?  Studying for the MCAT is a monumental task, and Nova Press has the books for you.  Our <a title="MCAT Books" href="http://novapress.net/mcat/books/">MCAT Trilogy</a> covers every aspect of the MCAT, Verbal Reasoning included.  Incorporated in the Biology book, the Verbal Reasoning section focuses on reading comprehension and critical reasoning.</p>
<p>In the reading comprehension section, we outline exactly what to expect on the test.  This includes the timing, number of passages and questions, and about how long each one is.  We outline specific reading methods that are most effective for this test and debunk the myths about other methods.  Then it&#8217;s time to get into the details.  The <a title="MCAT Books" href="http://novapress.net/mcat/books/">Nova Press MCAT Biology Book</a> specifies the six main types of questions asked on the test and how to approach each type.  This simple step can increase your score by narrowing down your answer choices to just those that answer that type of question.  Further, sample reading passages, questions, and explanations of the answers are included with each type of questions, so you can practice the application of this technique.  Then, you&#8217;re on your own!  Practice reading passages with questions are provided for you, but the answers are given later, so you have time to decide what you think before checking your answer.</p>
<p>The reading comprehension section also reviews pivotal words, so you are sure to understand the point for all of the reading passages.  Often what a passage means can hinge on the use of one word, and Nova Press wants to be sure you are clear on those words.  Finally, we outline a three step method that you can use on test day to be effective on test day.</p>
<p>The critical reasoning section first focuses on making sure you know how to analyze an argument so that you can determine the intended conclusion.  Understanding the conclusion is key in helping you to answer the questions following the argument correctly.  Making sure you understand what premises can be assumed and which can&#8217;t is also key to doing well on this section.  We detail the eight common fallacies to look for when reading an argument.</p>
<p>When looking for an MCAT Verbal Reasoning Book, rely on Nova Press.  Our <a title="MCAT Books" href="http://novapress.net/mcat/books/">MCAT Trilogy</a> will make sure you have the materials to be prepared for every aspect of the test.</p>
