Cracking the GRE Literature in English Subject Test, 6th Edition (Graduate School Test Preparation)

This book is indisputably the MOST IMPORTANT BOOK you will read if you are planning on taking this test. I read and re-read, worked and re-worked this book religiously. Obviously, they change the test each time it is taken, but I can say in all honestly that at least half of what the writers of this book said would most likely be on this test WAS on this test. When I took it, I thought to myself "Thank goodness I read that book, or I would be on the brink of a panic attack." Do yourself a favor if you're taking this test: buy this book. Read this book before you embark on any list of things you should or shouldn't read for this test. Do absolutely everything the book says. THEN, and only then, plug your knowledge with the works it highlights as being important (for me, this was most having to review Shakespeare, because they are not kidding when they tell you in this book that Shakespeare will be all over this test). I would have paid double for this book--it is absolutely worth the advice it gives and the piece of mind you will have when you walk into that test, confident that you have thoroughly reviewed everything to the best of your ability.

A must have for subject GRE in Literature!

I haven't taken the GRE. But this book helped me clear the MPhil English entrance exam of a reputed university of India. It helps you develop the analystical skills required in English Literature. Though I am not the right person to comment about its credibility in the context of GRE, since I have not taken that exam. But overall it's a good book. Worth buying.

This book is pretty good if you want to study for the GRE Literature in English Subject test. The most helpful part of this book is that it gives 'A', 'B' and 'C' lists of material that is likely to show up on the exam. It also summarizes some of the more important works. The book basically acts as a study guide as well as a strategy guide for the test. Not only does it talk about the works and authors one should know, it also gives tips on how to answer questions on the test that one doesn't know. Along with this book, you MUST get certain books in the Norton Anthology series (Middle Ages, Romantic Age, Victorian Age and Modern Age). Even the book recommends that you do this. Other helpful books for the GRE Literature in English Subject test include Longman Guide to Shakespeare's Characters: A Who's Who of Shakespeare , Literature: A Portable Anthology and Literature: A Pocket Anthology (4th Edition)

Excellent product. Excellent service.
