Don’t listen to the incorrect argument of “if you did well on CR and/or writing, for example, you might do well on the Lit SAT II” That’s what I thought too! Well, let’s just say I fully disagree with that statement now



I did well on the SAT CR and that was my precise reason for adding the SAT Literature to my testing schedule. I would agree that classroom instruction in literature is sensible, but not essential. Yes, they are different tests with different (although not diametrically opposed) focuses. But without question, there is positive correlation between one’s SAT CR scores and performance on the SAT Literature.

As for foreign languages, being a native speaker is very useful, but again certainly not essential given each individual’s unique abilities. There are often many who score at the very top even though the language was merely something that they began in high school.
