Thanks for the helpful responses. It seemed to me that the other study guide was more of a literature one, but it has the sentence structure, word usage type stuff as well which is what confused me. It is about 50-50 in "comp and lit" practice questions.
I have just never been a good one at reading a poem and dissecting and deciphering what an author is "really saying in line 5". It scared me a bit when I saw this in that other comp study guide.
On another note I will say this to anyone who went through the IC eng comp flashcards you need to check out the Peterson's site. Perhaps it is just me but I had zero problems going through the IC one's while Peterson's practice test are definitely giving me a harder time.
Retake points out in an earlier post above that the questions on the real test more resemble the ones on the Peterson test. They are not quite as simple IMO as the IC ones.
Thanks again everyone, I am definitely not stressing now as much.
