I would suggest you don’t take any practice test for 3-4 weeks. Read literature texts (the sort you think you have trouble in) of good quality. Read chapter by chapter, think, and analyze them. Try to identify the literary techniques used, especially those frequently tested in the sat 2 lit test, and write them down on a piece of paper. Then think how does those convey the theme, or point of view of the author, and how those enhance the overall reading experience. Read each dialogue/line that seems unusual or important and analyze them with respect to the context of the story. I am sure you will gradually become adept at it. And then refer to websites such as sparknotes.com which have very good analysis of good literary texts. See where you are deficient at and work on that area. Then once you think you are confident enough, take two practice tests and see if your score increases or not. If it doesn’t then you will have to seriously think about another subject test. Best of luck.
