I will be taking the Math Level 2 and Chemistry subject tests soon and I was wondering if I should take Literature too. I currently take AP Lang. Would I be prepared enough to take the Lit subject test?
If you’re doing well in your class, you could go for it. How did you do on the reading section of the SAT? SAT Lit is supposedly a lot harder, although part of it is luck and the curve. (I got 720 on the SAT Reading but 770 on SAT 2 Lit, first try). It’s supposed to be one of the harder SAT 2s, with an average of 620. Above 700 is considered an excellent score.
@thetsaria Ayyee, I got a 720 in SAT reading too! Thanks for the advice.
@swim1128 Hey, we’re in the same boat! You’ll probably do great, best of luck. I took the SAT 1 at the beginning of junior year and the SAT 2 Lit at the end of the year. I think what made the difference for me was having a fantastic AP Eng Lit teacher throughout the year. Actually, one of the plays we studied in class – Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead – appeared in the test!
@thetsaria Thanks so much! I took the SAT in February, and I plan to take my subject tests before the end of this school year (I’m a junior). Hope you’re doing well! (I’m guessing you’re a senior lol)
@swim1128 Thanks, yeah, I just got into Columbia so I’m super excited! Best of luck to you!
@thetsaria Ooooh an Ivy! That’s awesome, congratulations! And thanks 
@swim1128 Thank you! Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions about any of the other tests, or admissions in general, I’d be happy to pass on my knowledge
@thetsaria thank you so much, I really appreciate you offering!
Hi guys, I just bought the PR book for the literature subject test. I am hoping to get a 800 and was wondering whether the PR book is good enough to prepare me for such a score. I have read a lot of stuff on the internet about the PR book with some negative reviews also. My main question is, if I work diligently, is the PR book a good enough resource to help me attain a 800?
I scored an 800 in CR fairly easily, with hardly any preparation, but I could only score 750 in Lit even despite studying a bunch. It’s a pretty difficult test. Good luck.
