Literature and Critical Reading correlation?ANYONE WHO TOOK BOTH!

<p>800 CR
800 Lit</p>

<p>Didn't prep for either, so as someone who took them both cold, I would say I thought Literature was harder. More questions that require knowledge of literary terms and devices. And interpreting poems, things like that. I think taking AP Lang and Comp will help; I took it and I found that a lot of what is on the AP test is on the SAT Literature test.</p>

<p>CR: 800 Lit: 660</p>

<p>Pwned.</p>

<p>CR: 750 Lit: 700</p>

<p>i scored 660 in Cr and 720 in Lit.. i found lit easy though :o</p>

<p>The first time I took CR I got 750 with no prep. The second time, I got an 800. The first time for Lit, with some prep, 700. I took it once more, just cold, and got 750. Lit's harder, but if you're like me and read pretty much all the time, you'll pull off good scores fairly easily.</p>

<p>i got 730s on both, but i think CR is generally easier in terms of the actual reading comprehension (i get all my points off in the vocab sections.. UGH)</p>

<p>I got an 800 CR, 700 lit..</p>

<p>Did AP Lang/Comp last year, found that helped a lot with CR, but otherwise didn't prepare in any way. Lit has a lot of poetry and prose that is harder to understand...I think it is a harder exam overall.</p>

<p>These are all on my first try:</p>

<p>CR: 800
Lit: 710
Lang: 5</p>

<p>I didn't study at all for any of them.</p>

<p>CR: 710
Lit: 770</p>

<p>CR: 780 Lit: 800</p>

<p>Did some random questions out of the PR book for CR, and no prep for the lit test...</p>

<p>For me it was pretty intuitive...plus I really like literature XD</p>

<p>Ok so I went ahead and did some statistics on the data here. I threw out multiple testers and some other data that could have skewed the results:</p>

<p>Mean CR: 752.57
Mean Lit: 745.71
The equation for the line is: Lit score = 459.66 + .38(CR Score)
The correlation between the data is .4
n = 35</p>

<p>I got 780s on both.</p>

<p>CR- 740
Literature - 780</p>

<p>I honestly attribute those scores to the crazy amounts of reading I have been doing since I was like... 5 years old...</p>

<p>I am also an outlier:</p>

<p>690-Critical Reading
700-Literature</p>

<p>Robbed!? Possibly. Hahaha</p>

<p>I did no prep on either one, though, which is probably why I did not break 700 on CR.</p>

<p>I am kind of screwed for the Subject Tests. I am not taking any of those courses this year, basically. Lit was one of my only options. I'm hoping for a 650. Lit is one of my weakest subjects.</p>

<p>lol 700 CR, 790 LIT. (yup, im retaking sats for that section. i did way better in junior high...)</p>
