<p>whose taken it before?? how hard is it? how's the curve???</p>
<p>I can't tell you the curve b/c I just took it in May. I can tell you that it is a hard test. For sure you need to be very comfortable with SAT Critical Reading, but it is a lot harder than the CR section. The bad part is that you can't really study for it, the questions ask you a lot of interpretation questions...seems to me you either understand them or you don't. You do need to study some basic lit terms- they were all in the Princeton Review book. I'd say the poetry on the test is the hardest part...just b/c it's poetry. And, you don't get a lot of time for each question and definitely don't have time to actually read the passages- you need to be able to skim them and understand them enough to answer interpretation questions. Hope this helps?!</p>
<p>Yeah once again not much studying can be done. I would review the literary terms and take some practice tests to get comfortable with the format. Other than that it's part luck, part skill. Depends on what passages you get and what not.</p>
<p>I agree with all of the above, except that you "don't have time to actually read the passages." You have time to read them, some of them through twice, and reading them thoroughly is essential to understanding some of the questions, especially the poetry.</p>
<p>How do the prose passages compare to the AP English language and composition passages? I'm taking literature practice tests and the questions seem a lot harder than the AP I took this May.</p>
<p>what are some literary terms??? do you mean like, metonymy and stuff lik ethat?</p>
