Hello,

For entrance test every university or college syllabus varies so know your complete syllabus then start studying.

• you should focus on History of English. Starting from Ancient period to Contemporary period.
• You should have basic knowledge of socio-politi all and economic background of all ages. That you are going to cover.
• Highlighting all the important literary events and movements associated with the particular ages.
• During MA English Entrance preparation, you should also gather all the authentic facts. That will help you in dealing with factual questions.

So read all the books written in each era,there writing style and then go for it and If you have done BA English from regular college, then it won't be a problem.
