I did not review Nova's list, but it looks to be very similiar to Barrons. Anyways, I believe i just need some advice on how to master the quants section because i have to admit it was difficult. It felt a lot more difficult than verbal.

Hi grekiller!
For the quantitative section, it's easier if you master mathematical principles and rules eg pythagoras theorem which you can apply to the questions asked. The GRE Math review provided at the ETS website
http://ets.org/Media/Tests/GRE/pdf/GREmathPractice.pdf has some useful info, however I find it does not have some formulas/ tricks that are needed to answer the quantitative sections. I'll try and find a site that has more comprehensive quantitative review tips and post it here. Meanwhile, I can share any math review tips that I have already collected by posting them here.
When do you plan on retaking the GRE? Btw what's BME?
