AP english grammar or lit and SATsub Literature

[Martha]

can the btdt crowd recommend study materials?
is the college board SATsub book worth purchasing?

TIA!

but my daughter plans to take Eng. lit. subj., Eng. lang. AP, and Eng. lit. AP this next year. We've been advised that the Princeton materials - Cracking the Eng. lit/lang AP exam books are helpful for this.
Also, the Barron's book for the Eng. lit. subj. test.
Can't speak from experience on either test yet, but those are what we plan to use. My daughter is a serious and successful test-taker and likes to get what other serious students/instructors suggest, so, if that helps you in your decision making at all.......

thanks! it's a start!

My dd did AP English language and SAT English Lit. She has requested that I not post her scores publicly but she did very well using Princeton Review for each test. She then did LOTS of practice tests, as many actual previous tests as she could find.

My standard advice (I didn't make it up, probably stole it from Gwen in VA ;)) is to take your student to a bookstore and have them spend some time looking through all the study guides, and determine which one(s) work best for your student.
