SAT 2 Literature Test?

Question

How similar/different is this to the Critical Reading on the SAT Reasoning Test?

I did not score that high on the SAT I, so should I still take it?

It's just that I am doing well in English (English 3 Honors) right now, and am great at analyzing poetry and analytical essays.

Personally, I don't know why I do bad on the critical reading of the SAT I test though.

So far, I have taken the Bio, US History, and Math 2 Subject Test. I got the highest score on Math and the lowest in Bio.

I signed up for the exact same subjects for the June test, and now I'm rethinking should I replace Bio with Lit.

Also, I am taking AP Bio right now (I'm done with it) and I did not do so great during the class.

So, I just need advice/suggestions. Thank you!

Any info or personal experience(s) would be helpful.

Answer 1

It is nothing like Critical Reading. Its more of analyzing poetry, style, literary techniques, etc. You said that you're great at it, so I'd give it a shot. I'm not and I still managed to pull off a 720 with absolutely no effort. I'm took AP English Language, but poetry was not a factor in it and did not help me. Learning the names of rhetorical devices would help though.
