[Need Some GRE Lit Advice (any past test takers?)]

Hi Everyone!

 

I'm looking for some advice on the GRE Lit Exam.  (I'm posting it here and not on the GRE board, since I figured Lit folks are the only ones taking it. But, just let me know if it should go elsewhere.)

 

So, I'm signed up for the September Exam and I'm a kind of worried.  Looking through the practice exam in the back of the Princeton Review guide, I was shaken by how esoteric some of the questions were.  But, trolling around the forums (I think on here), I saw some people note that the Princeton Review guide is actually out of date as far as the test is concerned. And that leads me to wondering - did anyone on here take the exam in the last year or so?  If you did, is the Princeton Review on target with what we should be studying?  (I'm also supplementing with a few websites I found, but am still trying to find a bit more guidance rather than 'study everything', lol.)

 

I've been reviewing for about 1.5 months and in all honesty, I'm really trying to decide if it's worth it for me to continue dedicating time to studying for this beast of a test, or if I should just turn my attention to the applications themselves.  Only one school I'm applying to requires the GRE Lit exam (and it's not my top choice).  Decisions, decisions...

 

Really appreciate your advice guys!!

Hello to all the other folks applying for Fall 2016! 

 

I'll be applying to UChicago, Ohio State U, UOregon, CUNY, Columbia, UFlorida, and maybe Duke. (It looks like a few of us are applying to some of the same schools – cool!)

 

I've got my BA and MA in English Lit and am looking to do Comic Studies, probably with a slant toward ‘identity studies’.
