<p>[Studying</a> English Literature: Analysis of Sir Philip Sidney?s Loving in Truth (Sonnet No. 1 from Astrophil and Stella)](<a href=“http://freehelpstoenglishliterature.blogspot.com/2007/11/on-sir-philip-sidneys-loving-in-truth.html]Studying”>Analysis of Sir Philip Sidney’s Loving in Truth (Sonnet No. 1 from Astrophil and Stella))</p>

<p>[Still</a> Citizen Sparrow by Richard Wilbur |](<a href=“http://neoenglish.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2010/12/02/still-citizen-sparrow-by-richard-wilbur/]Still”>http://neoenglish.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2010/12/02/still-citizen-sparrow-by-richard-wilbur/)</p>

<p>I ran out of the time and rushed through the citizen sparrow one… definitely did not pick up on some of the ideas. How many can you get wrong to still get 750+??? </p>

<p>Can we go over some of the questions?</p>

<p>That was one of the most difficult lit tests ove ever seen. then again, I’ve only seen the practice test cb gives. Thinnest was a lit harder than cb s practice test. I skipped 7 questions because that last passage was crazy difficult</p>

4

<p>I also thought that was really hard. I’ve taken the official released ones and a few kaplan and a Barron’s and this was definitely top 2 hardest. </p>

<p>Did you guys put parallel examples that emphasize a point on that last one?</p>

<p>Also, some other passages: </p>

<p>[Love</a> Scenes and Scenes of Seduction: Adam Bede](<a href=“http://ncsmodules.unl.edu/loveandseduction/content.php?id=ls.00069]Love”>http://ncsmodules.unl.edu/loveandseduction/content.php?id=ls.00069)
