Editorial Review: Product Description: The GRE subject tests are among the most difficult standardized exams. Rather than testing general problem-solving skills, they require highly specialized knowledge. The experts at The Princeton Review have thoroughly research each subject test to provide students with the most thorough, up-to-date information available. Students don’t need to relearn the entire histories of their fields—just what they need to know to earn high scores on the exams. Each guide includes one full-length practice exam, complete with comprehensive explanations for every solution. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Useful for a plan of attack....I must admit that I was intially skeptical about how much a Literature GRE prep book could help me; it seems almost common sense to think you cannot possibly study for such a broad topic. The book dispells this myth right away, and uses a convincing argument: the fact that literature in English covers such a broad area is something to the test maker's detriment, not the test taker's. It is the GRE subject test maker's responsibility to create a test that is multiculturaly sound; one that needs a ... Read More Rating: - Excellent resource for how to take the testIf you are looking for a last minute study session, this is not the place to turn. They give you excellent advice on how the test is scored and methods of marking answers but there are few passages in it. They do provide an excellent list of authors you should know and quick overviews of some classic literature but nothing extreamely specific. I used this book in conjunction with my own study program and found the book really worth my while. It's a little light on Lit theory though, so you may want ...

But after taking the exam, I feel much less confident in the spot-on accuracy of this study guide than I did about the *Verbal Workout* guide by Princeton Review for the GRE General Exam. Of course there's just much more ... Read More Rating:  - Great book!This book is great! It has wonderful strategy tips that really helped me on managing my time. The mythology chart and the historical chronology of literary periods are also excellent. The explanations of the practice test answers also explain what all the wrong answers are so you can better reference where to look up these authors and titles. I only wish that there was more than one practice test and that the book was longer. Buy this book for your test! Rating: - This book relieves the pressure...When I took the GRE in lit three years ago, I didn't know about this book. I wish I would have. Studying literature isn't like studying math; you can't just learn the formulas to be successful. And with such an anbundance of literature from which to choose, you may get the feeling very early on in your course of study for this exam that you have no idea where to start. Now I'm taking the exam again and this book helps. This book more than helps. Let the experts guide you. They've studied the GRE exams ... Read More
