Praxis II Test

Praxis II -- Subject Assessment in English. I will be helping my sister study for this test this weekend. I'm looking for hints/tips/methods for helping someone study for a standardized exam. General advice welcome, but if you have information specific to this exam, even better.
She has previously failed this exam and if she doesn't pass this time, she will lose her job. Obviously, test anxiety will be a factor. Specific test info here.

My impression is that a lot of people do badly on this exam when they see that they'll be tested on identifying works of literature that they may or may not have read, and then they collapse when they see a few of these questions in the test. Generally, these questions are both rare and tend to focus on MAJOR works, so just go into the exam knowing that it's much more about reading comprehension than anything else. That ought to help at least a little.
