<p>I was just wondering how hard this test actually is and what are the best books to prepare for it.</p>
<p>So poetry is the killer... How does the rest of it compare to the AP English language and composition multiple choice?</p>
<p>Okay so I just took the AP lang and comp and the sat II lit. The AP lang was difficul, but it was how I thought it would be. A few passages were confusing but if you take any practice test you'll see this. I practiced all year both in school and at home. I felt really prepared yet it was still difficult. For the AP the essays were okay but i thought they would all be on literary techniques while only one out of the three was on that. Also I spent a lot of time learning lit terms and although it was helpful it only helped a few times and not throughout the whole test. Also I found the time to not be an issue.</p>
<p>for the sat II the time was an issue. It took me the full hour and I wish I had more time to check answers over. Some q's were easier then the AP but most seemed more vague. Also there was a lot of poetry which i personally found difficult. Maybe since it was shorter it seemed easier then the AP but the material was very similar(besides the poetry). Hope this helps a little and good luck!</p>
<p>Also I would take practice tests and not worry about your score but just do it to become familiar with the test format and the time limit. </p>
