<p>If I'm doing this, which book is best? And when should I start preparing?</p>
<p>Cliffs is the best. Start prepping now; start getting used to the format and the types of questions that the test will have. The Cliffs review book has lots of practice questions and a glossary of literary terms.</p>
<p>I agree with getting Cliffs book. I didn’t really learn anything in my class so you should probably be fine with self studying it. Just practice doing the readings and MC throughout the year and write a practice essay every week or two and you should be fine.</p>
