SAT II Literature: American Literature Background?

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I was wondering how imperative having studied American literature is towards preparing for this exam. I went from English 2 to AP Literature, therefore I have a good background in analyzation and whatnot, but English 3 would have been primarily focused on American Literature. Thus, I missed out on some of it. The CB says its a considerable portion of the exam, but what exactly should you know regarding it?</p>
