To Melbourne traveled I by way of road,
To take a CLEP is reason why I strove.
But far as Watermelon city did I get,
And my vehicle went blewy and I set
Upon the road and it would not shift gear,
So I sat for 2 long hours without cheer.
Then he came that man who like an angel,
Took my erring car and me from danger.
Then I waited long again for Dad,
Who came and picked me up and wasn't mad.
So I decided longer would I wait,
And learned the lesson handed me by fate.

Hey guys,
That was my first trip, but I finally got back to the testing center and passed with a 75! Of course I do not have results on the essay section yet.
The above is an example of the A and I Lit test. Okay, maybe the real test is a little more difficult. The main thing is to answer all the questions. I was worried about running out of time, but in the end, I actually had time left over. The A and I Lit is 80 questions in 90 minutes, but my test was actually only 78 questions.
I studied the REA book and took the sample tests. I also took the tests on Peterson's and in the College Board book. Do as many tests as you can, because you can't really study for this test. I do suggest that you write note cards of the different literary devices and their meanings and test yourself. It was hard for me to remember all of them. I mean, synecdoche! Come on! Actually, you don't need to remember all of them. (It would be great if you could). The literary device questions on the test were pretty few and simple. Just brush up on their meanings. You might also brush up on the types of poems, ie. couplets, free verse, etc. I think there was only 1 or 2 of those. And the rest was . . . well . . . analyzing and interpreting literature.
