Our materials thoroughly cover the three main sections of the GRE: math, verbal, and writing.  Each section gives an extensive review of important concepts and guidance on how to improve your work in those areas.  The math section addresses substitution, defined functions, number theory, quantitative comparisons, geometry, inequalities, and fractions & decimals, just to name a few areas.  The Math Notes section provides a brief overview of concepts while the individual subsections give clear examples with explanations, in case you need more detail.  Practice questions end each section, giving you an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned, and answers with explanations are provided in a separate area so you can check yourself.

The verbal section will help you improve your reading comprehension  by outlining steps to get to the real meaning of each reading excerpt.  Nova Press again gives clear examples and explanations on how to arrive at the correct answer.  Perhaps the most valuable materials included are the vocabulary lists of commonly used terms on the GRE.  There is a main list, with the 400 most frequently used words, and a second list with 4,000 other possibilities.  That way, you are able to focus your attention where you feel you need it most.  Finally, just to make sure you have all of your bases covered, Nova Press has a section on Etymology, so that if you come across a word you don’t know, you can figure out its origins and make an educated guess as to its meaning.

Nova Press also has you covered with the writing section.  Aside from subsections on grammar and punctuation, our GRE prep materials include tips on how to develop your own writing style and on how to properly decipher the writing prompts, so you  know exactly what the test-graders are looking for.  Still need convincing?  The writing section includes rubrics for each of the essay types so you have a way to evaluate your writing consistent with the way the test-graders will.

The reading section focuses on a few main sub-categories:  reading comprehension, sentence completion, critical reasoning, and vocabulary.  The reading comprehension section debunks the 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 how to narrow down the answer choices to fit each question.  We reinforce pivotal words that could change the entire meaning of the reading material, so you don’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 section along with answers and explanations.

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 start to find your 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 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 start writing.   Several examples of prompts along with possible responses are included for your evaluation, followed by practice prompts for you to practice your writing.

The math section reviews many different concepts.  Each concept has a dedicated 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.

The SAT can be a daunting test to prepare for if you don’t have the right materials to study with.  If you choose the Nova Press SAT Prep Course, you will have all of the SAT prep materials that you need.
