Best Way To Prepare For Lit?

<p>what’s the best way to prepare for the english lit exam with only a week left? I’ve taken the English Language AP which I heard was similar to the Lit SAT II. Also, is the Lit exam similar to the CR on the SAT I?</p>

<p>I am wondering the same thing. In addition to the OP’s last question, is the Lit exam similar to the reading section on the ACT?</p>

<p>The best way to prepare for Lit is:</p>

<ol>
<li>Read literature.</li>
<li>Find SAT Lit review books, preferably Princeton Review, and read review section.</li>
<li>Take practice tests. See what kind of questions you are getting wrong, and review those.</li>
<li>Find more review books, take more practice tests.</li>
<li>Read more literature.</li>
</ol>

<p>Actually, just reading does wonders for a test that tests you on… your reading! I know, pretty weird. But sarcasm aside, reading is your best friend for SAT CR/SAT Lit/AP English.</p>

<p>Make sure you’re able to stay focused for the passages by practicing actively reading, etc. You’re not going to have much time, so try to maximize the time available.</p>

<p>If you did well on the AP Lang MC, you should do fine on this test. A major difference between the two is that the Lit test has poetry, so make sure you’re ready for that.</p>

<p>The SAT I CR is similar in format to Lit, but the latter has more advanced passages and is overall much more difficult. The curve is less harsh though, so you can miss a couple and still get an 800.</p>
