**** OFFICIAL June SAT II English Literature Exam ****

<p>Hey everyone I created this thread so we can discuss our study resources and techniques we're going to use to score as high as possible. If you've taken the test before please leave a comment on how you studied and whether or not it worked and any other advice you may have. Also if you know where any official released tests can be found or any other effective practice tests please put links below. If there is any correlation in between SAT I Reading test scores and SAT II Literature scores please let us know, and post the correlation for you. Furthermore are the questions really similar to past AP English Literature exams or no? Thanks.</p>

<p>I’ll be taking it for the first time, too. I’m also wondering how it is like compared to the AP English Language and Composition? I haven’t taken AP Lit (I am next year).</p>

<p>@Lunakiitty‌ Make sure to take the twenty something questions the college board has on their official website since those are as accurate as they’re going to get. From what I understand it’s mainly analyzing and understanding archaic poetry and literature, I took AP Lang last year and I believe the questions this year in Lit were a bit more complicated and required a bit more analysis but that’s AP Lit not SAT Lit. I’m sure we’ll be fine if we study but we have to find the resources in order to study effectively.</p>

<p>Nevermind. :/</p>

<p>Well this is coming up awfully fast… Any last day study tips for tomorrow I can devote the entire day to it.</p>

<p>So how did everyone else find that test? I thought it was manageable, got caught up on a couple questions but that’s to be expected i guess</p>

<p>@ocomea15‌ Agreed, I was a bit pressed for time though but I finished.</p>

<p>I didn’t get to 3 questions, but I feel okay about the rest. I had the most trouble on the passage about women being better writers than men.</p>

<p>What the hell was that? I’ve taken the Lit test 3 times and none were as brutal as that. I didn’t feel confident in hardly any of my answers, they were so multi-interpretable (my new word).</p>

<p>Did you guys put a satire written by a woman for that women one?</p>

<p>What’s the curve like on this test? I found that one pretty doable but some of the poems really took a few reads</p>

<p>I did… I was unsure but none of the other choices made sense (traditional play by a woman?).</p>

<p>How about the passage about the step sisters? What did you put for the tone of their conversation in the first 10 or so lines? I was between “guarded and friendly” and something like very friendly (don’t remember the exact words but it was more extreme).</p>

<p>I put warm and friendly</p>

<p>Also, in one of the poems, the speaker was saying that she missed her lover but didn’t want him to visit at the same time. One of the questions asked what she meant in one line, and I was between that she can’t do anything while he’s gone and that she can’t do anything without thinking about his next visit. What did you guys put?</p>

<p>@RoseOak3918 Almost positive on satire by woman for women, fairly confident on friendly but guarded, pretty sure on can’t do anything without thinking about him.</p>

<p>Ok @ckoepp127‌ thanks! I put all of those answers</p>

<p>No problem! Yeah that women’s poetry passage was pretty killer in my opinion.</p>

<p>I’m not sure it was written by women because while I agree it was satire it opened with two lines about overhearing a women’s comedy and then launched into the satirical part. Therefore I thought it was melodrama by men. </p>

<p>@ckoepp127‌ I also put friendly but guarded.</p>

<p>@ehrenbm She didn’t overhear a woman’s comedy, she overheard someone lamenting the fact that the world was a “woman’s comedy.” The point of the poem was saying that this was a dumb belief.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember any of the questions from the last passage?</p>
