Test Preparation SAT Subject Test Preparation
21

<p>5 wrong, 2 omitted: ~750</p>

22

<p>Can you just link to the curve BillyMc?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure I did horrendously, 3 omitted and around 10 wrong…</p>

23

<p>I don’t have the curve, I’m just using the table of the previously administered one in the practice book, hence “about” and “~” and my explanation of that earlier.</p>

24

<p>Just finished the test today. Found it pretty reasonable actually :D</p>

25

<p>I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY RECYCLE TESTS. That’s ridiculous.</p>

26

<p>^ Sad but true :/</p>

27

<p>my ex took this test last may. har har har >< too bad I had no idea until I looked through CC.</p>

28

<p>"I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY RECYCLE TESTS. That’s ridiculous. "
I agree.
But really, reading those posts can’t have too much use. No one knows the answers</p>

29

<p>Any idea what the Lit curve is like? I don’t have my subject test blue book with me right now…</p>

30

<p>In my Kaplan book it has -20 raw as 700 and -6 raw as 800.</p>

31

<p>^ Oh that seems generous…</p>

32

<p>Reading those posts gives you every complete reading, a ton of the questions, a ton of the answers whether they be right or wrong, etc. The simple fact that one person could have familiarized one’s self with the test beforehand makes it unfair to everyone else taking the test.</p>

33

<p>anyone know the curve for this test since it was previously administered? Personally, I thought it was harder than the practice tests, and the passages were SO boring and uninteresting. Kinda lost my focus.</p>

34

<p>So is there any pattern to what they repeat? That would make it really easy. Like, go back 1 year three months or something.</p>

35

<p>

They wouldn’t make it that easy, it would destroy the validity of the test.</p>

36

<p>… I was blown away by this test…
Was this test considered extra hard this time??
Or am I hallucinating</p>

37

<p>Nope…that’s just lit for ya.</p>

38

<p>How much did you guys study to take the lit test? Did you go through a whole book in order to prepare?</p>

39

<p>

Looked over a list of literary terms the day before and took a few practice tests, with about an hour devoted to examples/drills. It was pretty helpful (I used the official CollegeBoard Subject Tests book and Princeton Review SAT Literature book).</p>

<p>I did absolutely nothing. It worked for me for the SAT reasoning, so why not? Haha.</p>
