tomzhang, SAT CR is a breeze compared to the Lit test. SAT lit is even harder than AP lit.

Diana Oh, really? But the average score of lit is even higher than CR.

I haven't even had a chance to read the last passage. I was pretty sure there would be 6 passages, but it was a shock to have a seventh one. What do you think, what must be the raw score to get at least 700?

According to the Blue book;

If you get a raw score of about 59, you'll get an 800.
52 is 750.
46 is 700.
40 is 650.
34 is 600.

So you can leave some six blank and then get six wrong and end up with a 700.

Not cool...

Has anybody here used Barron's to prepare for the test? What was the harder, this test or Barron's practice tests?

tomzhang, you gotta consider the kind of kids who are taking sat II literature (the ones who are good at it) compared to the ones who take CR (which is just about everyone)

@tomzhang, you just shouldn't underestimate this. Just because the average Lit score is higher than the SAT CR doesn't really mean anything. Everyone has to take SAT, so that could be a possible reason that the SAT CR is really low. And SAT II Lit is not required for everyone, so only a certain amount of people actually take it xD and get owned. badly. T.T

I prepared to Literature using Barron's. Actually, I thought Barron's is the hardest to prepare for the test. But it isn't. The real one was much harder, i think, because there were 7 passeges instead of usual 6 as in Barron's.

You can only miss one to get an 800. That's ridiculous. I thought the test was very hard. I hope the curve is much generous. I'm hoping for at least a 650 though. Is there a consensus on the given answers so far?
