Took Analyzing & Int Lit Today

[Basket Weaver]

Not too much to be said that already hasn't been. The key to this test (besides taking the practice tests and studying the literature terms) is to read passages once, quickly, and carefully. At first, I found myself re-reading passages and remembered the warnings here about doing just that. I quickly changed my strategy and glanced through the questions/answers first, read the material (the answers usually jump out at you) then answered the questions. This way, I was able to end with 10 minutes to spare. There were two poems that I had great trouble understanding what planet they were from, much less what they were talking about (not a big fan of this crap). The rest were written so you could at least understand the subject matter and get the just of the story's intent. All in all, not a bad test and I would have to say a pass. Still nothing on the other 5 tests I've taken, but word on the street is the base received a bunch in; hopefully I should know something soon. I spent an entire 6 hours preparing for this test using Peterson's practice CLEPS

http://www.petersons.com/testprep/code/prompt.asp?sponsor=8&referer_type=EG&test_id=107 (CODE FL5518)

and Collegeboard's website's practice test (50 questions). Not needed if you do all 3 of the Peterson's tests.

Next on the block is World Population next Thursday. I'll start filling in my scores
once the results come in. Lee
