Just to follow up, they added the class to my ace transcript a few days ago, they had to reset my shmoop password to do so, it seems like there are a few kinks still, but they responded to all my e-mails and took care of things quickly.
In response to the previous post I would just keep in mind you need a 70% overall, some tests I did much better on than others, I wouldn't necessarily let one test discourage you.
Many of the answers I think are not what you would think if you just had to guess on them.
Not sure if this will help, but the last question is always a "read this passage and interpret this quote from it". I feel like I got most of these correct, although there is no way to be sure. I don't think you need any outside material to understand the quote. You may want to do the last question first if you are like me and just want to finish the test and not read a long passage right at the end.
If you have a question with "all of these" as an option, if you know at least two are correct then you know the answer is "all of these". If you know one is wrong, that will at least narrow your choices to two answers.
One more thing, sometimes it was obvious it was not "all of these" because if you picked that, then the answers would contradict each other.
Best of luck.
