<p>i'm considering taking this in the fall and would like to hear from people who have taken it, how hard you found it to be, etc. how does it compare to the critical reading section of the sat I? i got a 770 on that...should i expect something in the low 700s for the sat II, then? just would like to hear your general impression.</p>
<p>I got an 800 on the CR and a 780 on the SATII, but I think they're connected only to a certain extent. CR was basic standardized test fare, SATII was a lot of poems and reading between the lines, like the AP Lit test a notch down. I thought it was horrible, because I had never analyzed sonnets like that before, but since the rest of the country struggled my score was high (that's my theory). So, it was hard, but it was also kind of fun, because you weren't just bubbling in the same tired questions.</p>
<p>I got a 720 on CR and 650 on SATII. I agree with everything tkm said.. it's definitely not as easy and straightforward as critical reading, and almost every other passage was poetry, which is really hard for me. Flip through a prep book or something and you'll get a general idea of what the test is like.</p>
<p>I got a 660 on SAT2 it. I got a 660 on CR. </p>
<p>I guess a better comparison was the fact that I got 3 wrong in CR when I took the SAT, and well ... SAT2 was not as easy as I had hoped.</p>
<p>I got a 770 on Lit and a 750 on CR. I felt like I'd done horribly on Lit, but the scale must be pretty good. Lit is definitely more complex, but it doesn't matter as much if you make a couple of silly mistakes.</p>
<p>I almost took the SAT II. opened the prep book and said "wow i never learned ANY of this crap in school," and then opted to take the physics SAT II instead. :P</p>
<p>I don't think you can compare CR to the SAT II because the Literature test asks you to interpret usage and recognize literary devices..CR doesn't do that.</p>
<p>It took it after taking AP English Language and Composition and got a 720.</p>
<p>**I got a 660 on SAT2 it. I got a 660 on CR. </p>
<p>I guess a better comparison was the fact that I got 3 wrong in CR when I took the SAT, and well ... SAT2 was not as easy as I had hoped.**</p>
<p>Eh? There is NO WAY that 3 wrong on CR is a 660... lol... not even with the new tougher sat scale.</p>
<p>Sons of Liberty, I got ruined in the vocabulary. I just checked it was a 630 on the Verbal. When I got it in the mail, I was sad. Oh well.</p>
<p>I got a 560 on the CR and 610 on SAT II. But I didn't have any prep for the CR and I read the Kaplan book for literature the night before SAT II.</p>
<p>I'm going to prep harder this time around and hopefully do better.</p>
<p>And I liked the SAT II. I am HORRIBLE with vocabulary.</p>
<p>How vocab intense is it?</p>
<p>And is it more lieterary term vocab, or standard SAT vocab?</p>
<p>It's mroe literary term vocab...I did some practice questions from the Kaplan book, and the Collegeboard SAT II book..didn't really score all that great..around mid 600s..kind of scared to take the Lit. test, now..maybe I should take the Math IC, instead?</p>
<p>S got 670 on Lit with no prep and 700 on CR.</p>
