I am going to take the SAT English Literature subject test but for now, I only have AP books. Can I use these AP Literature and AP lang books to study for my SAT Literature test? Are the content similar? Also, what’s the difference between AP Lang and AP Lit?
I do have 1 SAT Literature book (Kaplan 2015-2016) but I just don’t want my AP books to go to waste.
Books I have for AP Literature and AP Language
-Barron’s AP English Literature
-Kaplan’s 2006 AP English Language
-Kaplan’s 2006 AP English Literature
-AP English Literature & Composition (REA)
Can I use these AP books to study for my SAT Literature?
My daughter did those AP classes and took the SAT lit test. She scored 750. She got the SAT lit study guide, but I don’t think she felt it was critical. A&P Lang is more focussed on writing skills of our language. AP Lit is focussed on analyzing literature. My daughter took AP Language as a junior, and AP Lit as a senior, so that class had no effect on her test score. She did get 5’s on both AP tests. If you do a lot of reading and are good at understanding classical poetry and literature, you will probably be fine.
If you already have the study guides for all, why wouldn’t you use them all? You said you have the SAT lit study guide for 15-16. That’s current. You have enough materials.
I’ve never taken any AP classes as my school doesn’t offer AP. Also, my teacher’s never recommend the Kaplan (2015-2016) and instead they recommend the Barron’s but I only have the AP Literature and not the SAT Literature
“I do have 1 SAT Literature book (Kaplan 2015-2016)…” Do you or don’t you have this book? If you don’t want to use it, buy the Barron’s. If you trust your teacher, buy the Barron’s. Not sure what you want to know now. You have five books. I would not use the 2006 books, as they are quite old. If you have not yet taken an AP Lang or Lit course, you might find the SAT Lit test tough.
I do have the Kaplan lit book but they’re all practice tests. It’s going to take a while for my Barron’s books to arrive so I was wondering if I could just depend on my AP literature books to study for my SAT literature for now. I’ve never taken an AP course, I self-study everything.
