Not the greatest in question types,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: GRE Literature in English (Graduate Record Examination Series, Gre-11) (Plastic Comb)
As someone who has already sat for this test and is studying to do better, I can honestly say that this book's questions do not even match the format of the real test questions. I even came across a question asking anatomical questions regarding voice. This is not a biology test! Another favorite in this book is a statement with answer options such as 1&2, 1&2&3, 3&4, etc. These questions are hardly ever (if at all) on the test. In addition, so far the authors/books mentioned are for the most part really obscure and don't really make an appearance on the exam. I have purchased every single test prep title (including out of print ones) for this test and sat for the real one. This book by far is way out there in content. And as someone who already has a MA in english and has taught on university faculty, I can honestly say that this book mentions a lot of obscure writers while ignoring the more important ones (and the ones that appear on the test most). In addition, this book doesn't really cover the new emphasis on literary theory and postcolonial writers. All this being said, there is a real shortage in Test Prep materials for this exam and I would recommend anyone who is seriously studying to buy this book anyway for the 25% good questions. You'll need all the help you can get!
