I'm thinking about taking this test, can't believe it's worth 6 credits! That would take me at a whole year to get in the classroom! (As my institution doesn't offer accelerated literature classes)
I did the sample questions on the CLEP site and thought they were pretty easy. 1st asked me about rhyme schemes, which I didn't understand completely, it seems to be the more something sounds like a rhyme it's an A in the rhyme scheme for something that is away from a rhyme is B and the next one is C. Pretty logical for poetry...I read that definition then got it right.
2nd question was an interpretation question on a stanza. So easy. 3 rd question was "Who wrote this poem?" didn't know that one.
Anybody who took the test, how much would you say is hard facts and how much is literature interpretation? I have the latter down, but only moderately knowledgeable about who wrote what, in what era and the significance. Are these questions indicative of the ones found on the test? Thanks, you guys are helping me gain credit for things I already know.
