Summary

The Princeton Review realizes that acing the SAT II: Writing & Literature exam is very different from getting straight As in school. They don't try to teach students everything there is to know about writing and literature--only what they'll need to score higher on the exam.There's a big difference. InCracking the SAT II: Writing & Literature, The Princeton Review will teach test takers how to think like the test makers and: * Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool test takers * Ace the writing test by mastering the most important grammar rules * Earn more points by learning to quickly identify sentence errors * Write better essays by knowing in advance what the graders want to see * Score higher on the literature test by more effectively analyzing prose, poetry, and drama *** This book includes 5 full-length simulated SAT II exams (three writing and two literature). All of the sample test questions are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual exam. Contents Include: I Overview The Route to College Approaching the SAT II: Writing & Literature Tests II The SAT II: Writing Test Cracking the Writing Test Grammar, Grammar, Grammar Identifying Sentence Errors Improving Sentences Improving Paragraphs The Essay The Final Word in the Writing Test III Answer Key to Drills IV The Princeton Review SAT II: Writing Test V The SAT II: Literature Test Cracking the Literature Test Literary Terms Analyzing Poetry Analyzing Prose Analyzing Drama The Final Word on the Literature Test VI Answer Key to Drills VII The Princeton Review SAT II: Literature Test
