<p>Did anyone take it? Any opinions?</p>
<p>It seemed, erm, easier than the January test. I'm trying to figure out whether it really was or if it was just my being used to it that made it seem easier.</p>
<p>Now I know why most people don’t take this test…</p>
<p>I didn’t think it was too bad either, dont worry haha</p>
<p>I actually think it’s a fun challenge to tackle…but most probably don’t agree.</p>
<p>Does anyone have any idea about the answer to the last question in the Lady Blount passage? It was something like “The author uses all of the following pastoral related techniques EXCEPT”…</p>
<p>Yeah, wow that test was absolutely ridiculous. I didn’t have time to answer the last 4, and I omitted another 3. Got AT LEAST like 6 or 7 wrong. </p>
<p>The Indian marriage passage was just like ***ff? I wasted so much time on it.</p>
<p>Anyone know anything about the curves for this test? I never hear anything about Lit.
I’ll be lucky with a 650+</p>
<p>I hated the city vs country passage also. I felt like this was so much harder than the Kaplan practice tests.</p>

<p>I feel horrible about it too, and so did the one other person in the room that took it, that being said there were only three people taking the subject tests, including me. The appearances one got me, along with almost all of the other ones. What was it even talking about? The only one I feel confident about is the Indian one… but I think that one was vaguely interesting to me so it was easier to read.</p>
<p>The city vs country passage will probably be the one to kill me. It made me run out of time on the last two passages. I feel like discussing it will be useless since many of the questions were so ambiguous, haha. Profoundly disappointed :/</p>
<p>That said, I did enjoy reading the excerpts and poems. It’s why I chose this subject test over others :3</p>
<p>I didn’t like the one about appearances and did you guys understand the about books and why their important</p>

<p>I feel like I did really badly too (600?) but there is no reason we have to report the scores, is there? If we take it again, or take a different test we can report one score from this testing and another score from another test, correct? And it isn’t frowned upon by the school, or if I was to take it again and did much better it would reflect something positive about me if I reported both scores?</p>
<p>I feel like good grades in classes are delegitamitized to a certain extent by doing badly on one or more of these tests. Whereas I feel that the SAT and GPA are more independent of one another.</p>
<p>Do you find this to be true?</p>
<p>for books I put very cautious censorship… does this seem right?</p>
<p>I don’t even remember that option.
I thought the only censorship options given were too extreme for the viewpoint offered, but the answer I chose (absolute free press) was also too extreme. Now that I think about it, I probably didn’t read carefully enough.
aaaaaaaa, kill me</p>
<p>Was the author of the passage saying that books are a good thing or a bad thing? At first he seemed to say that they were bad, and then he said something that made me think he thought they weren’t that bad, and then he said something about a dragon… at which point I gave up. :/</p>
<p>Haha, that test was hard!</p>
<p>But I put that he advocated moderate censorship.</p>
<p>Yeah I didn’t get the dragon one at all… What about city vs country or joy vs sadness?</p>
<p>it was city vs country because the poet person said that Miss Blount left the town and towards the end he said something that let you know that he was int he city and how much he didn’t like it. Then he said something about how both he and miss Blount were unhappy because they were in the wrong settings or something.</p>
<p>at least that’s what I got</p>
<p>City vs. country? All of the other questions had something about that… but maybe they were trying to trick me.</p>
<p>About the books one, it should be cautious censorship. Also, he thought that books could cause conflict and men to rise up. That’s why he wanted the censorship. He advocated the Churches views on books but also recognized their importance to an extent, which is why he wanted censorship to be cautious.</p>
<p>And yes, it was City vs. Countryside. It was about Lady Blount and the narrator. The former was in the countryside and dreaming of the city while for the latter it was vice-versa.</p>
<p>Some of the questions were extremely easy, and some were just so subjective I just had no idea what to put. I was spitballing on at least 10 of the questions I answered.</p>
<p>Joy v. Happiness seems like a good choice, though. It was a central comparison throughout the passage.</p>
<p>And the books poem/passage (forget which) I’m almost 100% sure was “limited censorship” - the very first sentence said the writer “does not deny that the Church needs to be vigilant when it comes to books” or something to that extent.</p>
<p>the question about the dragon’s teeth…umm</p>
