SAT Subject Test Literature (Kaplan Test Prep)

I used this book only for the practice tests, but I found that was all I needed. The test questions were comprehensive and very similar to the question types on the actual test, and the answer explanations were clear (unlike ambiguous explanations offered by some other practice books). Overall, a great purchase. Will definitely be going with Kaplan if I decide to take another subject.

This book was super helpful. Loved the answer explanations and the lessons in the front of the book. Do all the practice tests for the best result! I used this for two weeks before the test and felt super confident going into it.

Kaplan completely missed the mark with this prep book. The SAT Literature test barely had anything about rhyme scheme or iambic pentameter or anything like that. Most of the questions had to do with mood and theme, not the technicalities of writing. VERY disappointed with my score and with this company. I would encourage buying a different book!!

Fabulous resource!

This book is identical to the earlier edition - not sure why they are claiming a difference

I just took the ap English exam so I thought that I wouldn't have to do much review. And OMG this book. I took a diagnostic, and the questions are so frustratingly subjective, or too easy. I'm going to take the official test tomorrow so I will update my review. But so far this book makes the sat lit subject test seem like the DUMBEST thing in the world. I HATE THIS. I don't feel as though it's going to help me at all.

A couple months ago, I took a practice test from this book and got a 500. Three days ago, I took an official practice test and got a 640. I looked over what I did wrong and think I noticed an issue with my approach, and yesterday I took the test for real. I'll update this with my score once I get it.Around 25% of the questions in the practice tests are on things like poetic meters and other extremely obscure technical terms that aren't even on the actual test. On the actual test, 90% of the questions are the same stuff you'd see on the reading section of the SAT itself, and the other 10% just ask about things like metaphors and personification, not freaking iambic pentameters and heroic couplets.And for the other 75% of the practice test questions, many of the "correct" answers are mediocre interpretations and/or poorly worded.e: 610. To be fair, I didn't get any sleep the night before due to being nervous about Chemistry, which I ended up only getting 650 on. And I only got 670 on Math II. Looks like I'm gonna have to retake everything :/

Perfect text book, helped my daughter to easily study.
