Literature...oh god

<p>yeup...lit definitely screwed me over. what did u guys think?</p>

<p>IMPOSSIBLE. This girl sitting next to me was taking it the same time I was, and halfway through the test she put her pencil down and said "I can't do this", and cancelled her score. I think I did really bad. :(</p>

<p>have u taken it before though?<br>
iono but do ppl usually come out of lit feeling they bombed it and actually do pretty well?..which is what i'm really hoping for. and WHY is the curve so bad?? like on the collegeboard book, to get an 800 u can onli miss like 4. is it because not a lot of ppl take it or ppl just tend to do really well on it?</p>

<p>^possible. It's generally acknowledged that lit is one of the harder tests, so unless you're completely insensible or incredibly confident, you wouldn't take it unless you thought you had a decent chance of doing well on it (which is the case for most of these tests, I hope). And actually, lit has a slightly lower nat'l average than the other subject tests (not by a whole lot, but still). Iono...maybe it's just a harsh curve because it is. =/</p>

<p>yahh i was pretty confident about lit since english is my strong point.....but i guess not anymore...
also i was really pushed for time so couldn't reread the passages</p>

<p>yeah, english is one of my stronger subjects but that test destroyed me.</p>

<p>what in particular was so hard about it? I'm thinking of taking it next year.</p>

<p>can you guys be more specific? I really love lit...</p>

<p>Lit in general is not so bad. Yes, it is known as one of the harder ones, but colleges know this. If you're a really strong math student, you're kind of expected to make 800 on IIc. But even if English is your strength, a high 700s Lit score is still seen as great.</p>

<p>I took it last year, and it was not bad at all. I actually scored 800, and several of my friends scored 700+. If Lit is your strong point, definitely go for it. It is very similar to the AP English Lit, which we take in Jr year at my school, so that may have helped. But if you have a strong English background, whether in AP Lit or not, you should be fine.</p>

<p>What do you guys think you scored?</p>

<p>I took the test in May and got an 800, so you never know. I thought it was hard and that I didn't do too well, but you may be suprised.</p>
