Hi - I was doing some research into this test for my son last week (I’m a UVA grad/English major). To see what the test was like I took all the practice questions on the collegeboard.org website. Without a single English class under my belt in 25 years I got all the questions correct; from your description of your talents I think you’d do fine. My takeaway was that even more than your ability to interpret passages correctly is that you need to have a very good vocabulary, because the questions used sophisticated words and if you don’t know the meaning of the words you won’t get the right answer. Take the practice questions and see what you think…
