<p>So who's taking the Lit subject test tomorrow?</p>
<p>Just got back. I took it for the second time today, and I definitely think I did worse 
I should’ve just stuck with my first score. Going lower is going to look really bad.</p>
<p>Just took it too…
it was harder than i expected! people were saying the barron’s practice tests were harder than the actual one but i thought the actual test was just as hard :/</p>
<p>nne718: but you can choose what score to send in, can’t you? i thought for subject tests, colleges can’t see the scores you don’t send in?</p>
<p>newmercy - with subject tests, you can choose which subjects you send, but they will send all test dates in that subject. So if you take Lit twice and want to send a Lit score, you will send both scores. But if you take lit, Physics, and Math, you can choose which of those subjects to send.</p>
<p>Unless of course the college insists on seeing all scores, which some of the more selective schools do.</p>
<p>pinotnoir: i see… what exactly are we talking about by these ‘more selective schools’? thanks</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>you can go to college board - they have a list of each college and what their score reporting policy is.</p>
<p>Several of the passages (Prosody 101, the Indian one, Miss Blouse, censorship) were from the October test, but the others were not.</p>
<p>For the book censorship passage, why was the usage of dragon’s teeth fitting?</p>
<p>yeah I had no clue about the dragon teeth one. I probably should’ve just left it blank.</p>
<p>Also a clarification on score choice- I thought you can only prevent schools from seeing a particular test date, not a particular subject.</p>
<p>Edit: Never mind, I just looked it up. It’s by subject. That makes me feel a lot better.</p>
<p>Here is the link to the October 2010 thread (which also had the same passages and questions for Prosody 101, Jasmine, Books, and Miss Blouse): </p>

<p>THAT test was a repeat of the December 2007 test, the thread of which has many answers, though I cannot personally endorse every one:</p>

<p>The dragon’s teeth is from Roman mythology, in which Cadmus put dragon’s teeth into the ground and men popped up and started fighting each other. The point is that life can come from unliving things (like how life came from the ideas of the book) I think.</p>
<p>@Billymc I took Literature on October 2010 and I was so upset that the passages were the same. I did badly on those passages, and I basically had to stumble over the same passages -_- Not all of the questions were the same, however.</p>
<p>
I concur.</p>
<p>Dammit I put life and then changed my answer last second.</p>
<p>
Really? It seemed to me like all the questions of those passages were the same.</p>
<p>What raw score do you guys think would constitute a 700?</p>
<p>skipped the dragon one too…lol
is the lit curve usually lenient?</p>
<p>
The one released one I know of is -2=800, -8/-9=750, -15=700. So two wrong was 800, seven wrong was 750, and twelve wrong was 700. This is the released test in the official SAT Subject Test book.</p>
<p>I didn’t manage my time well… I had to practically fly though the last ten questions, I only had 5 minutes to read and answer the questions for the last passage :(</p>
<p>I wish I would’ve looked over past threads, it seems like they re-used a lot of questions. I scored a 770 on my last Kaplan practice test but it did not go well today… hopefully the curve is a little bit nice to me,</p>
