Self-studying SAT II Literature and prep books?

Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm currently a junior planning to take the SAT II Literature test in January, 2014(so in about three months?). And I wanted to ask the people here whether it would be possible for me to score above 750.. hopefully 770 or above?..:(</p>

<p>I get 800's on CR and WMC sections of SAT I consistently, actually for about the last six mock tests I took. I did hear that SAT Lit is more difficult than SAT I CR and has poetry, but I really want to take the test.
btw I'm not a native speaker of English, but I've lived in the States before for four years. </p>

<p>If I really put in the time to take mock tests and do intensive reading for the next three months, would it be possible for me to score high on the test in January?? </p>

<p>And what are some of the prep books you would recommend?
I've seen some threads recommending Cliffs AP Lit books or the Bluebook itself. I would like the ones that are harder than the actual test or pretty much the same difficulty level, not the ones like PR and Kaplan(which I have heard are far easier than the actual one). </p>

<p>Thank you!!</p>

<p>I didn’t use a prep book when I took the test and I got a 790. If I were you, I’d brush up on poetry and drama because those seem to be the harder sections for most people. If you are in an advanced English course at school (AP/IB) and you actually read the texts the teacher gives you, then you should already be on track. Your SAT CR score is impressive, and it indicates that you must be a proficient reader already. I mean, CR is my worst section and I got a 790 so it’s hard to say what will help you most. You seem to be on the right path though to achieving a 750+</p>
