I bought this for my son who browsed it only briefly before passing the test with 5 (highest possible). The practice tests are helpful, but a good AP class will prepare your student adequately. The exam is designed to assess knowledge and understanding of the rich meaning of limited body of high school literature. That understanding is best gained by reading the original works and practicing the art of critical thinking and writing.
My daughter used an earlier version of this book to study and pass the English Lit. & Comp. test in 8th grade! Having now studied for many other tests using a variety of expensive books, she's learned to start with Princeton Review, as their books are consistently accurate and much more helpful than any other publisher's study guides.
