This was an OK product. I actually took the Literature test cold once before I started using Barron's to study. I actually received a lower score when I studied with Barron's. Not to say that it is Barron's fault (I completed all the practice tests) but for those already at a high level in verbal reasoning, this book will not help you improve any more.
Barron's Literature is harder than the actual SAT II, but its scaling is similar. At times, I found the explanations to the multiple choice sparse and unsatisfying. The main utility of this book was the fact it had so many practice tests. The actual chapters that tried to build your comprehension ability with "exercises" were not as helpful as Barron's envisioned.
Thus, I RECOMMEND this book if you need lots of extra practice, and aren't that good. I do NOT RECOMMEND this book if you're already scoring high on SAT verbal reasoning; find another book.
 Great Help! July 5, 2009

This book was so helpful to me when I studied for the SAT Literature subject test. Each chapter breaks down a different aspect of the test, whether it be prose or poetry. Each chapter also provides sample questions that are very similar to what is on the test, and explanations for the questions. This helped me improve so much because it explained why I got some questions wrong, which helped me to not make those mistakes on the test. The back of the book also includes full practice tests, which really helped me get acquainted with pacing and time for the real test. Overall, this book was such a great help to me when I was studying for the subject test!
