<p>Would British lit like Dickins or some other authors coming out on SAT I?
Honestly, it is ridiculous to read those 19th century British literatures…
It just makes few senses when you think about it… so out of modern
grammatical context… so confuin…</p>
<p>If the college board will continue producing it, why the hell is wrong with them?</p>
<p>No - it comes up on the English Language APs, and I believe the SAT II, but I haven’t ran into what you’re talking about on the SAT - I.</p>
<p>I’m actually not that sure…just recently, though, I did a practice test (I’m almost positive it was from the College Board itself) with a passage from Great Expectations by Dickens. But it wasn’t too hard to understand - it definitely wasn’t one of those vague parts from the book. I think that if they did test British lit on the SAT I, then it would be on sections that aren’t too convoluted.</p>
<p>The october SATI test had a passage from Charlotte Brontes book “Shirley” which is from 1848.
so they do come up.</p>
<p>^ that’s the one that I got also. </p>
<p>It wasn’t a hard passage at all though. In fact, I thought it was easy because they figured students would have trouble “understanding it.”</p>
<p>I know people never write as well on forum posts as they can, but judging from your language in that, I don’t think that it’s the fact it’s ‘British’ that makes literature confusing for you…</p>
<p>I ran into something like that on the SAT. 1800s Victorian type stuff</p>
<p>Didn’t you feel that the Victorian English was absolutely doable?</p>
<p>I got an 800, if that’s what you’re asking</p>
<p>I love when they have the victorian english!
It was great getting a passage from a book I’d read!</p>
