<p>Whats the best SAT 2 Literature book?</p>
<p>Princeton Review is good. My only gripes with them are that there are only three practice tests and while the questions are well-written, the passages tend to be on the easy side. I just ordered the Kaplan Literature so I'll let you know how the Kaplan works out.</p>
<p>The most important thing is to take as many practice tests as you can get your hands in, regardless of what book they're from. I used both Princeton Review and Barron's (which has quite a few practice tests, as I remember) and my score ended up increasing ~150 points from my first practice test. Practice makes perfect :)</p>
<p>What was your final score on the literature test, anomaly?</p>
<p>I ended up with a 760.</p>
<p>Impressive! This is very embarassing, but I got a 530 on the Lit test last June. When I first took it, I had never seen a literature question on the SAT before in my life, had no idea about the difficulty, and just signed up for it just so I can take it for the hell of it. I'm not a bad reader though (got a 740 on CR). I just took my first practice test in lit yesterday (PR), and scored a 670. Do you think with many more practice test until January 27 that I can at least reach a 720 on the lit test? Thanks.</p>
<p>I just went to the local book store and skimmed the poetry section of the PR book for my studying. ^^;</p>
<p>Really, the reading comprehension is pretty much just like all other reading tests you've taken. The only thing that's normally difficult on the SAT II Lit is poetry and I thought PR gave pretty good suggestions on how to think through those prompts.</p>
<p>page06~ a 720 sounds more than attainable! Just be sure to pinpoint where your mistakes are coming from so you can pay extra attention to those spots. Good luck!</p>
<p>Do you notice if the Princeton Review tests are harder or easier than CB's lit tests? I thought that the passages were easier (until I took test no.3 today!), but I took the PR test and got a 600. :( I got a 710 on the real test last time. I hope to get a 750+ but taking all the PR and Kaplan tests.</p>
