<p>Hi guys. I v registered Dec. lit test but right now I know nothing about the test. I was wondering if this test will be harder then CR in SAT1?</p>
<p>tomzhang, SAT CR is a breeze compared to the Lit test. SAT lit is even harder than AP lit.</p>
<p>Diana Oh, really? But the average score of lit is even higher than CR.</p>
<p>I haven’t even had a chance to read the last passage. I was pretty sure there would be 6 passages, but it was a shock to have a seventh one. What do you think, what must be the raw score to get at least 700?</p>
<p>yeah, what is the curve on the lit?</p>
<p>According to the Blue book;</p>
<p>If you get a raw score of about 59, you’ll get an 800.
52 is 750.
46 is 700.
40 is 650.
34 is 600.</p>
<p>So you can leave some six blank and then get six wrong and end up with a 700.</p>
<p>Not cool…</p>
<p>tomzhang - SAT2 Lit is SAT1 Critical Reading on Red Bull, Steroids and marijuana</p>
<p>Has anybody here used Barron’s to prepare for the test? What was the harder, this test or Barron’s practice tests?</p>
<p>what prep books did you use and did they prepare you well for the test?</p>
<p>tomzhang, you gotta consider the kind of kids who are taking sat II literature (the ones who are good at it) compared to the ones who take CR (which is just about everyone)</p>
<p>I kinda remembered I got quite a few answer Cs for the test, esp. the first part. any one can second this??</p>
<p>@ ownage, yes I got a bunch of c’s in the first column.</p>
<p>@tomzhang, you just shouldn’t underestimate this. Just because the average Lit score is higher than the SAT CR doesn’t really mean anything. Everyone has to take SAT, so that could be a possible reason that the SAT CR is really low. And SAT II Lit is not required for everyone, so only a certain amount of people actually take it xD and get owned. badly. T.T</p>
<p>I prepared to Literature using Barron’s. Actually, I thought Barron’s is the hardest to prepare for the test. But it isn’t. The real one was much harder, i think, because there were 7 passeges instead of usual 6 as in Barron’s.</p>
<p>You can only miss one to get an 800. That’s ridiculous. I thought the test was very hard. I hope the curve is much generous. I’m hoping for at least a 650 though. Is there a consensus on the given answers so far?</p>
<p>@ratboy haha i agreee</p>
<p>@ malfunction
man, i left about 6 blank. lets hope i got less than 6 wrong…hah…hah…T<em>T O</em>O</p>
<p>maybe i should just keep my first score of 690 and cancel this one…what do you guys think?</p>
<p>Lol, I took it practically cold - turned out to be a lot harder than I expected!</p>
<p>I had enough time, but only because I rushed a lot of the questions. :(</p>
<p>same here python, i went really fast cuz i didnt want to run out of time but then when i finished i went back and started changing answers lol</p>
<p>I skipped the play right away…and worked on the blues singer first.Then I never had time to continue back to read the play anymore,sigh.It was a total disaster.</p>
<p>LOL this test seems like a total disaster.</p>
<p>Yes, to answer someone’s question back a while - this test really is always this hard. Perfects on SAT I Reading and Writing, perfects on ACT Reading and Writing (one sitting for both tests). 720 first time taking Lit, no prep, 750 second time taking Lit, no prep, this time hoping for slightly above a 750 (no real prep because I didn’t take them seriously anymore, this was just for fun), but I rushed just like all of you (which I did on the first test and not the second; does not bode well) on the last poem. Rest of the test was similar to prior test experiences. SAT Literature is wholly different from SAT I and ACT reading/writing. Those test for comprehension - this tests for analysis. The literature is also real literature - that stuff is crap drawn from contemporary pieces of nonfiction/fiction, this is made from people who lived hundreds of years ago and spoke in strange tongues.</p>
<p>It’s a great test, really - you really start to enjoy it and appreciate the literature. It gets easier with each taking, too, I now realize in hindsight.</p>
