Any New American Lit info?

[Elinor]

American lit was the last test I took. I passed with a 67!!! It was somewhat harder than the English lit, but still not too bad, and WAY better than I expected.

Mark Twain and Alcott were pretty much the only American authors I'd read before this test. Alcott didn't show up at all, but there were a few questions about Twain. The only work I actually read for the test was The Scarlet Letter, and only that because it seems to be referred to everywhere.

I always go blank at the end of tests, so I have a hard time writing about what was on there. Here's what I remembered though: And the score is… « Reformed TN Girl

I will venture this suggestion: if you have access to the Idiot's Guide for this test, read it! I think it helped me a lot, especially with the newer stuff (Harlem Renaissance and confessional poets, in particular)! The iTunes U lectures were good, but the only questions it helped me on, I think, were a couple about Invisible Man and The Yellow Wallpaper, both of which were covered in the Idiot's Guide.

Good luck with the test!
