For literary terms, I would focus on aspects such as symbolism, theme, characterization, tone (for the short readings they give you), and point of view.

For example, if writing about The Great Gatsby, remember that Nick is the narrator-- how reliable is he?  What point in time is he even narrating from?  Look at how HE characterizes Tom, Daisy, and Gatsby... there is certain bias there.
