<p>This was a really hard test. The first passage (old school poem about death and children and love) was especially difficult to understand, and I think I spent way too much time on it. I was hoping I would do well enough to make up for my critical reading score on the actual SAT, so hopefully there will be an extremely generous curve--any guesses as to what that may be?
Also, what do you all think of retaking the SAT subject tests? Including this one?</p>

43

<p>i'm actually considering canceling... i've probably missed somewhere around 8 questions and i'm aiming for a 750... should i do it?</p>

44

<p>i'm just going to retake in november since yesterday was my first time taking. i thought this test wasn't too bad; for some reason, i was expecting much harder. however, i know i missed 8 or so (probably even more).
i understood the first poem (yeah i have no clue how), but the charles poem i had so much trouble with. kind of sad. i think the 1st poem was the only passage i totally understood. okay, REALLY sad.</p>

<p>hmm -8 is around low 700s. the curve's pretty harsh. so it's up to you if you want to cancel or not. in my opinion, anything above 700 is pretty good already.</p>

45

<p>i think the first poem was easy to understand only because in english 3 ap we went over a lot of puritan poems and that was kind of similar to them... but the charles poem definitely went completely over my head!</p>

<p>@an0nym0us: I say just re-take them. It'd be a waste of money just to cancel them and the university will take your highest scores. Besides, you might do better than you think you did.</p>
