I took it tonight and passed with a 70. I didn't even know what the test covered or what it was like.
I thought it was hard. I did not expect to score as well as I did. It was difficult to parse the passages that were written hundreds of years ago. It burned a lot of time parsing the convulated sentence structure in those passages.
You do need to know common literary terms such as simile, conceit, rhetorical question, metaphor, omnomatopoeia, etc.
I ran out of time and rushed through the last two questions. I write professionally and I'm a fast reader. If you're not, maybe you should stay clear of this one.
