As an English person, I still found the SAT subject test in literature extremely difficult.
I don't know whether it was because of how the passages, questions, and answer choices could be interpreted in so many different ways, or if it's because I am mediocre at analyzing poetry, but this test proved way harder than the Critical Reading portion of the SAT I or the AP Language multiple choice section.
However, this book helped out quite a bit. I started out by taking the diagnostic test, in which I got around a 620, then took around four or five of the practice tests in the book later on (after reviewing the sections with strategies.) I wish I had planned my time better so that I could have taken all of the practice tests, but my score managed to gradually improve as I took each one.
The brief sections on how to deal with each type of passage that would show up on the test were concise and well-written. The practice MC questions and the practice tests were comparable to those that showed up on the actual exam.
Using this book, I got a 730 on the SAT subject test in literature. While not super happy about my score, I am content enough to not retake it. I definitely contribute some of my success to this book.
