hey guys, took my buddy to the testing center today and while i was there i decided to take the analyzing and interpreting literature test. NO study at all and passed with a 50. It is not the best score in the world but a pass is a pass. I already have my BS but maybe this will go towards another one.
this test is not for people afraid of poetry and "older" style English like Shakespeare. This was most of the test. also know what similes, metaphors, paradoxes, allusions and alliteration. it would be also help to learn the other literary devices that I could not remember and/or never heard of. This test is totally doable with no study, I am proof of that.

I guess I am proof of the opposite. Study for about an hour max and then took this one, walked about with a 47. Oh well.
