<p>I think usually, it's like missing 3-5 is still 800...but if everyone agrees that the test was unusually difficult, it's probably going to be more lenient. Just for the record, I started panicking during the May lit test because I couldn't make any sense of the first THREE passages and came out it thinking I failed (predicted 650 or so), but it turns out I got an 800. All is not lost. c:</p>
<p>Are we allowed to start discussing? It seems like the other threads are...</p>
<p>I didn't think it was bad....</p>
<p>I liked the prose sections, but that poetry BLEW!</p>
<p>I thought it was crazy! But, I thought it was just as difficult as all the practice ones I took, and I was kind of hoping the REAL thing would have been a bit easier. Uh, and I omitted like 19.</p>
<p>Can we discuss questions now?</p>
<p>Not sure...I just got back from testing, and I'm in TX. People are still taking their third test here.</p>
<p>that test was ridiculous, but it was as hard as the other practice tests i'd taken. i actually thought about changing lit to mathematics I since i was prepared to take II anyway. but then i just decided to bs it.</p>
<p>it was gay.</p>
<p>how many did you guys skip?</p>
<p>i skipped around 5 or 6, but all the rest i doubt.</p>
<p>I'm planning to take it next year. lol</p>
<p>so, let's start up with those specifics. </p>
<p>wth was the poem where he was dreaming about roaring high streets over what once was the calm sea, or however it was worded?</p>
<p>i dont get the calm sea one either...remember any of the questions? remember the grief one, the monument represents all but....?</p>
<p>It was about how earth changes geologically in the first two stanzas, but in the third the poet related it in some way to his life. It was something to the effect that he doesn't want change, but realizes that it is inevitable. At least I hope...</p>
<p>What about the poem about grief? That one confused the crap out of me.</p>
<p>what was the form of the grief poem?</p>
<p>The poem about sea, etc. was from In Memoriam, by Tennyson.</p>
<p>Basically, I think, it was about the transience of the physical world -- and although the narrator knows it to be true, his dream is that it would not be, that the world would be stable -- he can't bring himself to truly say goodbye to that which is changing. Something like that.</p>
<p>On the grief one, was that an except question, really? I totally missed that. Are you talking about the question with the cracked-marble and crumbling-grief answers?</p>
<p>Also, I said the grief poem was iambic tetrameter.</p>
<p>darn, i said iambic hexameter.</p>
<p>The form of grief one was Heroic Couplets (AA, BB) rhyme scheme... I screwed up the one about which did not deal with men (I put coxcomb, it was pit-something...)</p>
<p>was there a ? on the grief poem's meter? I thought the question about the rhyme scheme/ meter was for the women writers poem... and I put heroic couplets (probably wrong).</p>
<p>Oh, yeah, that's right, it was on the woman one.</p>
<p>And tetrameter is four. Which is why it couldn't be heroic couplets. Heroic couplets are ALWAYS in iambic pentameter. The woman poem had four feet to a line, which is tetrameter. NOT a heroic couplet.</p>
