SAT 2 Literature

<p>Hi.. I'm planning on taking the SAT 2 Lit. test in November. Anyone who took them know how hard it is and how many you can get wrong & still get 800??</p>

<p>According to the scale in the Kaplan book, you can get like 4 or 5 wrong to get an 800.</p>

<p>I didn't think it was hard at all, but I appear to be in the minority.</p>

<p>Okay thanks you guys... I bought the Kaplan book to study~ I really like lit. so i'm gonna cross my fingers and hope for the best!</p>

<p>I know that understanding different literary terms is really key, from what friends have told me. There's a list here of ones to get familiar with: <a href="http://www.livejournal.com/community/sat_help/3271.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.livejournal.com/community/sat_help/3271.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I thought it was fairly difficult, but I scored pretty well annyway (770). If you've got a strong background in prose and poetry analysis and you review your terms, you should be fine.</p>

<p>It was really easy there were ZERO questions on the test about definitions (male vs. female rhyme, obscure types of poetry etc). There was only ONE question about meter. I flipped through the Barrons book the night before and got an 800 on a test that resembled a CR test</p>

<p>i didn't study and got a 760 which is ok for taking it cold turkey. it's mostly dependent on the test itself.</p>
