Having just spoken with my daughter about such things, there are a series of
books that help juniors and seniors in high school prepare for advanced
placement exams. For instance, my daughter is in AP psychology and AP lit
this year. Books that would help students prepare for such exams would be
wonderful. They're advertised on www.collegeboard.com, I think.

Lisa and list,
RFBD has GRE preparation books and I believe NLS does also. It's been ten
years since I took the GRE and I used a study guide--just don't remember the
source. Also, try an internet search for study material. I only took the
general so didn't do research on subject-specific exams.
