EZ Solutions: Leaders in Test Prep & Tutoring Solutions!

Most of the other test-prep books suggest that your exam only tests your ability to take the test, and it does not test any actual content knowledge. In other words, they claim that your test is all about knowing the test-taking strategies, and it has very little to do with the actual knowledge of content; others claim that your test is all about knowing a few most commonly tested topics. While we have great respect for these books and the people who write or publish them, all these books have one thing in common: they all want to give their readers a quick shortcut to success. They actually want their readers to believe that just by learning a few strategies and memorizing some key formulas, they’ll be able to ace their test. We are not sure if it’s the fault of the people who write these books or the people who use them; but someone is definitely trying to fool someone – either those test-prep books for making the readers believe it, or the readers for actually believing it (no pun intended).

With a test as vast as this, it’s simply not possible to cover the entire content in just a few pages. We all wish; however, in life, there really aren’t any shortcuts to success, and your test is no exception to this rule. Nothing comes easy in life, and that is also precisely the case with your test. You have to do it the hard way by working your way through. Unfortunately, there is no magic potion, which we can give you to succeed in math! Therefore, if you want to do well on your test – be mentally, physically, and psychologically prepared to do some hard work. In this case, efforts and results are directly proportional, that is, greater the efforts you make, better your results are going to be.

While most test-preparation books present materials that stand very little resemblance to the actual tests, EZ’s publication series present tests that accurately depict the official tests in both, degree of difficulty and types of questions.

Our EZ books are like no other books you have ever seen or even heard of. We have a completely different concept, and our books are structured using a totally different model. We have re-defined the way test-prep books should be.
 

What we have done in our modules is, separated the actual content-knowledge from the test-taking strategies. We truly believe that a test-prep program should be more than just a cheat-sheet of tricks, tips, and traps. The test you are preparing for is not a simple game that you can master by learning these quick tactics. What you really need to do well on your test is a program that builds true understanding and knowledge of the content.
 

In our modules, we’ve tried our best to present a truly unique equilibrium between two competing and challenging skills: test-taking strategies and comprehensive content-knowledge. We have blended the two most important ingredients that are essential for your success on your test. We have enhanced the old traditional approach to some of the most advanced forms of test-taking strategies. To top all this, we have refined our solved examples with detailed explanations to give you hands-on experience to real test-like questions before you take your actual test.

Other Books: Most of the other test-prep books primarily concentrate on teaching their readers how to “guess” and “use the process of elimination,” and they get so obsessed with the tactics that in the process they completely ignore the actual content. Majority of the content of these books consists of pages of guessing techniques.

EZ Books: With our EZ Content-Knowledge Modules, you’ll find 100% pure content that has a highly organized and structured approach to all the content areas, which actually teaches you the content you need to know to do well on your test. Therefore, if you are looking to learn more than just “guessing by process of elimination” and if you are serious about developing your skills and confidence level for your exam, then our highly organized and structured test-prep modules are the solution. By studying our books, you’ll learn a systematic approach to any question that you may see on your test, and acquire the tools that will help you get there.

EZ Solutions’ publications are packed with important information, sophisticated strategies, useful tips, and extensive practice that the experts know will help you do your best on your test.

You should use whichever concept, fact, or tip from that section that you think is appropriate to answer the question correctly in the least possible time. If you’ve mastered the material in our review modules and strategy modules, you should be able to answer almost all (99.99%) of the questions.
 

Learn Backwards and Move Forward: Smart students are the ones who make an honest attempt to learn what they read, and also learn from their mistakes, but at the same time, who moves ahead. Therefore, you should learn backwards, that is, learn from your past experiences, and move forward, that is, keep moving ahead without looking back!
 

Our books often give you a choice of multiple methods of answering the same question – you can pick the method that seems easiest to you. Our goal is not to prescribe any hard-and-fast method for taking the test, but instead, to give you the flexibility and tools you can use to approach your test with confidence and optimism.
 

Strategies or Content?

In order to do well on your test, it is absolutely essential that you have a pretty good grasp of all the concepts laid out in our review modules. Our review modules contain everything you need to know, or must know to crack your test. They cover everything from basic arithmetic to logical reasoning, and everything in between. Nonetheless, that’s not enough. You should be able to use these concepts in ways that may not be so familiar or well known to you. This is where our EZ Strategies kick in.


Content versus Strategies:

There is a succinct difference between knowing the math content and knowing the math strategies.

Hypothetically speaking, let’s assume there is a student named Alex, who learns only the test-taking strategies; and there is another student named Andria, who learns only the math-content. Now when the test time comes, Andria who learns only the math-content is extremely likely to do a lot better than Alex, who learns only the test-taking strategies.

The truth is that someone who has the knowledge of all the math content, but doesn’t know anything about the strategies, will almost always do better on the test than someone who knows all the strategies but doesn’t know the content properly.

Now let’s assume there is another student named Alexandria, who learns both, the test-taking strategies and the math-content. Yes, now we are talking! This student, Alexandria, who knows both the strategies and the content, is guaranteed to do a lot better than Alex, who only knows the strategies, or Andria who only knows the content.

This brings us to our conclusion on this topic: don’t just study the strategies, or just the content; you need to know both simultaneously – the strategies and the content, in order to do well on your test. How quickly and accurately you can answer the math questions will depend on your knowledge of the content and the strategies, and that will have an overall effect on your success on the test.

Hence, the equation to succeed on your test is: Strategies + Content = Success!

We are confident that if you study our books on test-taking strategies along with our books on content-knowledge, you’ll have everything you possibly need to know in order to do well on your test, in fact, to ace your test, and come out with flying colors!

The good thing is that you made the smart decision to buy this book, or if you are reading this online, or in a bookstore, or in a library, you are going to buy one soon!
 

Thorough In-Depth Review:

Most other test-prep books briefly touch upon some of the concepts sporadically. On the other hand, our books start from the basics, but unlike other books, they do not end there – we go deep inside, beyond just touching up the surface – all the way from fundamental skills to some of the most advanced content that many other prep books choose to ignore. Each concept is first explained in detail, and then analyzed for most effective understanding – each and every concept is covered, and we haven’t left any stone unturned. Overall, our program is more challenging – you simply get the best-of-the-best, and you get more of everything!


Comprehensive Review:

Our Content-Knowledge Review Modules provide the most comprehensive and complete review of all the concepts, which you need to know to excel in your test. Each module is devoted to one of the main subject areas so that you can focus on the most relevant material.

The ideal way to review our modules is to go through each and every topic thoroughly, understand all the solved examples, and work out all of the practice exercises. You must not rush it; instead give yourself enough time to review everything.

If you are not able to spend enough time, you may not have the time to review each topic, understand every solved example, and work out all of the practice exercises. In this case, you may skip over the topics that you’re already familiar with or good at. Just glimpse through a section. If you feel comfortable with it, move on to something else that may potentially give you more trouble. If you feel uncomfortable with it, review that topic more thoroughly.

Moreover, if you carefully work through our review, you will probably find some topics that you already know, but you may also find some topics that you need to review more closely. You should have a good sense of areas with which you are most comfortable, and in which areas you feel you have a deficiency.  Work on any weaknesses you believe you have in those areas. This should help you organize your review more efficiently. Try to give yourself plenty of time and make sure to review the skills and master the concepts that you are required and expected to know to do well on your test. Of course, the more time you invest preparing for your test and more familiar you are with these fundamental principles, the better you will do on your test.

While doing your review, it may be worthwhile to keep the following in mind:

(A) Extensive Content: There is a whole lot of content reviewed in these modules. Although the amount of material presented in our books may appear to be overwhelming, it’s the most complete review to get prepared for your test. To some of you, this may seem like a great deal of information to assimilate; however, when you start reviewing, you’ll probably realize that you are already comfortable with many concepts discussed in our review modules. We also suggest that you spread your use of our modules over several weeks, and study different modules at your own pace.

Even if you are sure you know the basic concepts, our review will help to warm you up so that you can go into your test with crisp and sharp skills. Hence, we strongly suggest that you at least touch up on each and every concept. However, depending on your strengths and weaknesses, you may be able to move quickly through some areas, and focus more on the others that seem to be troublesome to you. You should develop a plan of attack for your review of the wide range of content.

(B) Using EZ Test-Taking Strategies: In our content review modules, there may be some instances when the test-taking strategies will come into play. So get comfortable using our EZ strategies to the fullest. Work on your weaknesses, and be ready to take advantage of your strengths.

Nevertheless, our main objective in the content review modules is to refresh your knowledge of key concepts on the test and we attempt to keep things as concrete and concise as possible.

Labeling Answer Choices: On the real test, the answer choices are not labeled A, B, C, D, and E, and these letters never appear on the screen. Instead, each answer choice will simply be preceded by a blank oval. In all of the examples and practice exercises in our books, we constantly use the letters to identify the answer choices. The five answer choices are labeled A, B, C, D, and E, and these letters are also used in the answer keys and the explanations.
