This is specifically regarding the "Analyzing / Interpreting Lit" Peterson's test. But I'd welcome feedback from anyone who's taken any of the Peterson's practice tests.
I've only gone through one so far, but I'd like to see if others felt the same way as I do about it.
It seemed to me that the questions were pretty fair, but that many of the *answer choices* were unfairly written. I kept feeling like there were at least two answers that seemed equally correct or very similar. "Hateful and determined" vs. "vile and effective"? "Regret and shame" vs. "pain and lamentation"? OK, so those aren't the best examples, but still. Give me a break.
Does anyone else find the Peterson's test(s) to be a bit tricky with what they ask? Also, I hear people say that Peterson's is supposed to be more difficult than the "real thing", so I'm trying to decide if I should give much thought to a relatively mediocre score. I felt I understood the passages well.
