<p>I'm taking the Lit subject test this Saturday. Reading/writing are my strongest subjects, but i was wondering if there's really any possible way to prepare for the test, other than the collegeboard practice test?</p>
<p>You could take preparatory companies’ practice tests.</p>
<p>I did the Princeton Review practice test a few nights before I took it and I think it helped. I got a 760.</p>
<p>At this point I wouldn’t worry about it.
How well you do is basically based on how good you are at English, imo.</p>
<p>But you might review a released copy of the test to make sure you understand the format and know the instructions before hand.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>For most standardized English tests, the most studiable (if that’s a word) part is the literary terms, but I doubt there’ll be any on the test you won’t know already.</p></li>
<li><p>Know what kind of content to expect (poetry, prose, maybe even a little drama; expect ye olde english, and some British writings as well as American).</p></li>
<li><p>If you’re going to take any more practice tests and don’t mind being a cheapskate, might as well go to the Barnes and Nobles and mentally practice off of the official Collegeboard blue book (Subject Tests Study Guide). Prep companies’ practice tests are never as good as the real thing.</p></li>
<li><p>Common sense stuff: Get good sleep on both Thursday AND Friday (two nights before actually matters too). Know your own limits (when you should guess, how fast you should pace yourself). Good luck.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Since I’m taking AP English Lit., does that mean there really wouldn’t be any surprizes on the subject test? I’ll prep for the AP anyway… that should cover it right?</p>
