What should I study for the GRE Literature in English Subject Test this year?

[absurd]

Hey all.

I'm taking the Subject Test on November 7th, and am a bit freaked out. I spent a great deal of time studying for the GRE General Test, and did v. well, but I'm totally lost on this one. To make matters worse, it seems like the Princeton Review 'Cracking' series is obsolete now?

So, what would be a good index of stuff to study for the 2009 test, for those who just took it? I'd really appreciate the advice.

Good luck with your grad school process!!

Definitely study Theory and the names associated with the movements - there were a lot of questions like that (i.e.: which did Jacques Lacan write).

Major Theory movements (it's worth it because most of these questions are give-aways if you are just superficially familiar with the big names and terminology). Mine test also had lots of grammar questions for some reason (or at least much more than what was reflected on practice materials)which surprised me. Lots of poetry by white men. One Langston Hughes question and one Emily Dickinson identify question, lol.

This person's website is pretty comprehensive and helpful:
