<p>if u have taken it, what did you get on the Lit. test/CR of the sat 1. what's the correlation between SAT 1 CR scores and Lit scores</p>
<p>Very, very little.
The Literature SAT II revolves around prose and poetry, whereas the SAT I CR covers art/science passages, minority passages, and other straightforward stuff.</p>
<p>Both tests require you to understand what's presented to you and choose the right answer.</p>
<p>The SAT II is far more difficult. Expect to do up to 100 points worse than how you did on the SAT I.</p>
<p>Do you suggest a reading list for me to take SAT II Literature.
I'm not American student, and I don't have a textbook.</p>
<p>bump bump... could anyone else post their results on the CR and Literature SAT 2. Thank you</p>
<p>I had a 130 point difference between CR and Lit SAT 2 (CR was the higher of the two) There are a number of poems (I think maybe 1/2 the passages were poems? Might be overestimating though) for the Lit SAT 2 (or there were when I wrote in Dec)...I'm not a huge fan of poems so... :P</p>
<p>I'm normally pretty good at reading comprehension type tests so I really didn't prepare at all for the Lit test, which was a bad idea (only skimmed through the review sections of the Kaplan book the night before)</p>
<p>I know a friend who scored 800 on CR and 700 on Lit.
Generally, in my opinion, it's a bad idea to take the Lit.
If you want to show off your comprehension and writing skills, take the AP English Literature: it's much, much easier.</p>
<p>thanks, any one else have results to share?</p>
<p>800 on both.
But that's not very helpful...mostly I'm just being obnoxious.</p>
<p>Seriously, though, Lit is harder and has a rough curve. I wouldn't recommend taking it unless you did very well in the SAT I CR.</p>
<p>Obviously it's a good idea to take sat ii lit if you really are good at it because, like you said, a lot of people who are generally good at reading comprehension can't handle higher level stuff and poetry analysis (which is what sat ii lit is)</p>
<p>770 on CR, 800 on Lit. But I don't think they are anything alike. Lit is harder. (I know my scores don't agree with that statement, but it's true.) But a good way to find out for yourself is to look at the Lit prep books, take some practice tests and see how you do.</p>
<p>700 on CR, 700 on Lit. I just kinda suck</p>
<p>I don't think two 700s suck! I got a 630 in math!</p>
<p>haven't taken sats yet, but got a 69 on psat CR.. and then a 740 on literature sat 2 with no studying. i didn't think the lit sat 2 was all that difficult, but i do remember having a lot of time left over and changing a lot of my answers.</p>
<p>800 CR, 670 Lit</p>
<p>Lit is significantly different. The poetry was what killed me.</p>
<p>760 CR, 790 Lit.
Pretty sure I got massively lucky on Lit though.</p>
<p>No correlation. My daughter did better in Lit test than CR. I think she was unlucky with the CR subject on the SAT I test day. She scored nearly 800 for Lit. She loves poem, literature so it's probably natural for her to do well.</p>
<p>Could anyone recommend a lit II prep book?</p>
<p>Try this. I don't know if it helps my daughter, but I got D this book because someone from this forum who got 800 suggested it.</p>

<p>D had 790 on CR and on SAT II Lit.</p>
<p>I got 800 in both CR/Lit...but Lit does have a rough curve. I don't know anyone who got higher than 740 on Lit even though they had 780+ CR.</p>
