I'd appreciate if you could send me a PM! I'm interested in hearing about as many people's experiences as possible.
I don't have the PR book - where I live none of the bookshops stock any GRE prep material and I never bothered ordering it online. Perhaps I should've, but it doesn't seem worth it at this juncture! I've been mostly going through the Vade Mecum and Hapax Legomena websites, Wikipedia, the Nortons, etc. I have a fairly good knowledge of British literature from Spenser to the modernists because my departments's requirements, but I have absolutely zero Old or Middle English. They're not too bad to study for, though, cause the exam probably isn't going to ask anything too indepth about, say, Piers Plowman. I've also been reviewing prosody and rhetorical terms, etc, as a lot of that seems to have come up in recent years.
It's very irritating not knowing what format the test is going to be. I remember reading panicked people on this forum when they sat the first of English subject test that was more about reading long comprehension passages than identifying authors. To be honest, I'd prefer more identification questions - not sure how to prep for reading comprehensions! As an English major I'd like to think I'm fairly good at quickly parsing passages, but it's hard to gauge!
