<p>My friend is taking the Lit test this Saturday, and she needs a 700+. Any tips or suggestions from people who have taken it before? </p>
<p>I took it and got an 800, but I just told her to memorize some lit terms. The test was easy for me, because I am an avid reader. However, I think it will be much more difficult for someone who is not a reader. </p>
<p>What tricks can I tell her to use for someone who is not that much of a reader?</p>
<p>I'd like to know....lol</p>
<p>Tell her to take many practice tests to simulate the 60 minute time limit. And she should familiarize herself with the types of literature she is most uncomfortable with (i.e poetry, prose, plays, etc). </p>
<p>Incidentally, Lady_Leonella07, how many wrongs did you get for that 800? I'm retaking the SAT II Lit this Saturday, and want to know how the curve is. Also, does anyone know if the Kaplan conversion chart in any way resembles past tests?</p>
<p>Tips on poetry? Sometimes I feel as if I understand something completely, and I get everything wrong in effect.</p>
<p>A BIG suggestion (which may be kind of obvious) is to always FIRST look at what dates the poems or proses was written in, and start off with the eras you are most comfortable with; you can usually tell right off the bat just based on the language, but generally it really helps put a peice into perspective.</p>
<p>I wanna know the curve/conversion of this too from raw score to 200-800 scale.. anyone know where we can find one online?</p>
<p>This is from the Princeton Review SAT II Literature Prep Book, 2005-2006 edition:</p>
<p>800 = raw score of 56 to 61
750-790 = raw score of 50 to 55
700-750 = raw score of 45 to 59
650-690 = raw score of 39 to 43
600-640 = raw score of 33 to 38
550-590 = raw score of 28 to 32
500-540 = raw score of 23 to 27
400-490 = raw score of 11 to 22
300-390 = raw score of -1 to 10</p>
<p>So, you can miss as many as 4 questions, and still get an 800. Not the easiest curve of the Subject Tests, but still pretty good!</p>
<p>What if you miss like 1 or 2 question on each passage, what is the raw score, and the equivalent score?</p>
<p>Thanks everyone... </p>
<p>I got two wrong, and got an 800.</p>
<p>Just do practice tests I would say...but ofcourse, I did bad...real bad. PM for how bad, its embarrassing</p>
<p>Do you think with a 550 CR it's possible to get likte 700 on the Lit?</p>
<p>probably not since lit is 10x as hard</p>
<p>650, or am I getting to hopeful?</p>
<p>god, i am getting so frustrated with literature now.</p>
<p>i'm not finishing the test in time.</p>
<p>when i read through the passages or poems one time through, i can't really seem to grasp the main ideas on some of them.</p>
<p>ya...me either</p>
<p>any poetic genius?</p>
<p>gosh i did SO bad on the CR of the sat... i got like 800s in the other two but cr i got like a 500 something. which means im gonna do horrible in lit since im gonna study last minute at barnesandnoble tonight -___-;;</p>
<p>lol then dont take lit cause its alot harder than cr</p>
<p>isn't it too late? and can i like, not send it to my colleges or watever?</p>
<p>where can I get a pratice test for the lit....besides a book. lol i'm taking it tomorrow and i just started studying, but i just finished a short fiction intensive class today. so that helps. any ideas? online tests?</p>
