<p>Woot! I'm taking this one as well. I've been getting upper 400's and lower 500's on the practice tests. I don't know why it's so hard. Hopefully, it'll be like SAT CR or something; especially when everyone told me Lit was going to be the easiest.</p>

<p>wow the lit test RAPED me today. :[</p>

16

<p>haha yeah..</p>

17

<p>could somebody provide a curve from a random lit. test?</p>

<p>eh I don't know what's wrong with me.. but I absolutely LOVED literature, esp compared to Math IIC. It was definitely more critical reading-ish than I thought. I studied Barron's which was so hard I got about half wrong each time... but I think it really prepared me for the lit test, which was easier in comparison.
Favorite passage: Women bashing men.. haha LOVE IT</p>

19

<p>haha i think i disliked that passage the most...well, i didn't like dream song whatever either [life bores me]. i loved the poem on grief and the rest were alright.</p>

<p>greenbay - just got your message...
let's see, questions I remember:</p>

<p>passage about the black couple going up north:
the city was companionable and affectionate.
the "homey" additions in food were sympathetic toward the people (because the cook smuggled them into the dishes for the colored section)
passage about the poem on shifting landscapes:
first question answer: geographic transformations
something about fluidity of transformations in another question..
ack.. I don't remember any more specifics..</p>
