<p>I got a 4 on the AP Lit test...600 on the Literature SAT II. Don't know why the SAT II wasn't higher...<em>shrugs</em> what do i do!?!?</p>
<p>can you guys who scored 750+ on the list test give us some advices?</p>
<p>Do real tests. Here are two older CB tests that you want to get: K2-30AC and EGAC. Plus, ensure you do the one in the blue book. PM me, and I can tell you how to find the older ones. Also, do PR tests.</p>
<p>Me :)...back in June.</p>
<p>But I don't really have any advice on it...as people say, it's hard to study for...and I'm just good with literature and a good standardized test taker in general. </p>
<p>But good luck to anyone who's taking it soon!</p>
<p>hm... do you just read it and then answer it? or do you go straight to the questions? or do u only skim the passage? I mean what's your approach?</p>
<p>bump bump bump it up</p>
<p>bump.... I need some advice!</p>
<p>Last year my friend got a perfect score on the lit test. And then she got a 2 on the AP test. She was p*****d.</p>
<p>i got a 730 on CR and 750 on lit. i actually made a 3 on the AP test last year though. i'm just a bad writer. i'm one of those math/science people. buuut i didn't study or anything, although studying might help. it was more AP style questions, nothing like the reasoning test. if you really want to do well i think the only thing you can do is buy a study book.</p>
<p>I got an 800 on this month's test, as well as an 800 on the SAT CR (my sophomore spring). I think they're fairly similar tests. There's really no good way to study for either one. Read a lot of books and take a lot of practice tests. Get a study book and make sure you know the vocabulary. There isn't a ton of specialized vocab, but there is some.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I got a 5 on the AP Lang exam and I just took the 10 practice questions on collegeboard and got every question correct...I hope this is a good sign for the Lit test??</p>
<p>marissa, for some reason I can't PM you... can you tell me how I can find those practice test?</p>
<p>It depends on the person and the day of the test. D did well on SAT I Math test(800) but did not do nearly as well in Math SAT subject test(low 700). On the contrary, she did not do as well in SAT I Reading(low 700) but did very well on Lit SAT subject test(near 800). She read "How to Read Literature Like a Professor" by Thomas C. Foster.</p>
<p>Disclaimer: D is strong in literature and not in math.</p>
<p>I got a 790 with no prep. It's hard to prep for the SAT lit because it depends upon you having a strong literary foundation that comes from lots and lots of reading of classical literature. So it's not something you can necessarily study in 2 weeks (although, you can study certain rhetorical devices / methods).</p>
<p>I have two friends that managed an 800 on the Literature test, as well as 800 CR. I myself had an 800 CR and a 760 Lit, which I am more than pleased with -- my biggest problem, I believe, came from the poetry. All my background is with prose, and I prepared the same way for the Lit test as I did for the AP Language test (which I scored a 5 on), so my exposure to the poetry is limited. And I agree that it is a test that is difficult to study for, you merely must be accustomed to a wide range of literary works. I maintain that poetry from the 1500s is crazy ass-backwards English, but I am sure that there are others on this board who would beg to differ with me.</p>
<p>one of my close friends got an 800 on the june test.</p>
<p>i was surprised to see i got a 790 on the november test, with no prep. it was definitely a super hard test! i've heard otherwise but, personally, i think the sat CR and literature tests are very different. i don't think there's TOO much you can do because you never know what kinds of passages you're gonna get and what kind of analysis you'll be asked to do..</p>
<p>maybe look over some general hints in an SAT book but i don't think it'll help too much.</p>
<p>I got a 750 on CR and a 760 on Lit. . .not much difference. It made me feel bad, though, since I've been in a Creative Writing Honors class for four years, and have a LOT of background in reading, esp. poetry. . .800 SAT writing, however :]</p>
<p>Oh--I got a prep book for Lit, it went on for 200 pages about sonnet forms, basically, so I was like, screw this, and went into the Lit more or less cold. . .it wasn't horrible, though I was actually surprised I scored that high</p>
