<p>^Same here. I have an 800 CR but this test was impossible.</p>
<p>i am praying for a very generous curve!!!!</p>
<p>The subject was Sun not fog.</p>
<p>Yeah, i got that the subject was Sun too. I honestly didn't think the test was THAT hard, I almost enjoyed taking it...COMPARED TO THE FRENCH ONE, OMG! lol</p>
<p>Did anyone think that this test was a lot like the AP Lit test?</p>
<p>yeah i thought it was hard...didnt finish the last three questions and didnt get a chance to check ne of my others but so far ive got most of the answers that have been posted here...hopefully a great curve...</p>
<p>and yeah it was similar to the stuff we practice in AP English class, but ive heard tht SAT Lit is SUPPOSED to be easier than AP English Lit</p>
<p>btw i put Sun as well</p>
<p>Gas looming through the fog in divers places in the streets, much as the sun may, from the spongey fields, be seen to loom by husbandman and ploughboy. </p>
<p>here's the exact line. okay you guys are right...it's the sun.</p>
<p>were the geese a confirmation of the appropriateness or a sign of future success?</p>
<p>the 'thing' suggests all except? I put breath - the other options were hills, earth, sun, dream I think</p>
<p>and if the main topic of the satire was berating men who are contemptuous of women writers, wouldn't it make sense if the other question on 'copy' was produce characters in a play, instead of women actually adopting the mannerisms?</p>
<p>on the 'my friends', I said it was going against convention instead of an unscrupulous preacher.</p>
<p>Ehh... what would missing 7ish and skipping 10ish approximate to on curve?</p>
<p>This is me being generous to myself, too...lol.</p>
<p>it's the sun...there's no debate over that one</p>
<p>^ that's like the only one I was like sure about, lol....</p>
<p>I didn't read the one passage about the City or something like that....I just guessed. what are the answers?</p>
<p>curve probably?</p>
<p>cows on a stick...I took the lit test after the spanish one and i almost cried, it was so easy (at least comparatively). Spanish completely pwned me to the last man but I Swned lit and my only regret is that I didn't take lit before spanish, cause if I did I probably would have gotten a full score. As it is, I left a minimum of one third of the spanish blank, while I was shaky as *@&# on the rest of it. I ended up with a 560 in spanish and a 750 in lit. I was so happy that lit was pretty much a more interesting version of critical reading, which I'm pretty good at (800)...the gods smiled on me that day, I guess. I took it in DC, which very nearly sunk me, cause I caffeinated pretty hard beforehand and they made us wait outside until almost 10 AM (two hours late). All of the extra focus-age/energy went right out the window. I was really counting on that to see me through spanish, but that obviously didn't work. Again, really lucky that lit was easy.</p>
<p>"Ehh... what would missing 7ish and skipping 10ish approximate to on curve?</p>
<p>This is me being generous to myself, too...lol."</p>
<p>I want to know this too!</p>
<p>but, hey lets say missing 10..just for teh hell of it!</p>
<p>taggint this thread</p>
<p>how many passages were there?</p>
<p>around 5-6</p>
<p>I did so badly I'm not even going to talk about it although I usually love to talk about tests. :(</p>
<p>how many passages exactly, though?</p>
<p>I think the hard part about the Lit tests are that the answers are so subjective because literature can be interpreted in so many ways. Some of the questions the tests asks are confusing and I'm sure we could debate about them for days and days and never know who's right.</p>
<p>WOW. I thought that was incredibly harder than the June one. The poetry, especially the life bores me and the grief one made little to no sense. I'm considering that I cancel and stick to my previous 670.</p>
<p>Did anybody else get:</p>
<p>Heroic couplets</p>
<p>For the extra food, I put optimism for the City since the question asked the reader had to look at the WHOLE context so I didn't put sympathy</p>
<p>And I can't think of anything else...</p>
<p>For everyone: add questions/answers/corrections if you remember. Hope this will help people out.</p>

<p>Alfred Lord Tennyson Poem! (Loved this one)
1. thing is NOT referring to what? (I said spirit) heres the poem
There rolls the deep where grew the tree.
O earth, what changes hast thou seen!
There where the long street roars, hath been
The stillness of the central sea.
The hills are shadows, and they flow
From form to form, and nothing stands;
They melt like mist, the solid lands,
Like clouds they shape themselves and go.
But in my spirit will I dwell,
And dream my dream, and hold it true;
For tho my lips may breathe adieu,
I cannot think the thing farewell
2. line 3-4 reverses the elements in line 1
3. fluidity of change by using words like melt, go, etc.
4. a roman numeral question: the first lines compare what things (past and future, serenity and disorder)
5. geographic transformations</p>

7.</p>
<p>Almost all those are right, For the Geese one, I dont think it was telling him how to begin his journey, I believe it was about having purpose or something (i forget the wording). For the 1st question in that geese passage, the 1st line was contrary to all his actions or whatever that phrasing was....</p>
