WHY TAKE THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST?

What do you know about the format and questions on the SAT II: Literature Test? If you knew all you needed to know, you probably would not be reading this book Taking a practice test is one way to learn about the test and what it will be like taking it on the real test day You will need to pace yourself so you can answer as many

questions as possible in the 60 minutes Taking the Diagnostic Test

will help you learn how much time you can spend on each item Practice may not make perfect, but you can improve your score with practice The more you learn about your strengths and weak-nesses in test-taking abilities and in analytical skills, and the more you work on strengthening them, the better your score

How should you take this test? Just as though it were the real test, so that means setting aside 60 minutes of uninterrupted, quiet time to take the test, plus the time to score your answers

• Make a photocopy of an answer sheet at the back of this book

• Assemble four number 2 pencils and the answer sheet

• Use a timer or a stopwatch to time yourself

• When you have completed the test, check how many ques-tions you were able to answer This information will help you

in pacing yourself for the other practice tests and for the real test

• Then check the multiple-choice questions against the “Quick-Score Answers,” page 37

• Read the explanation for each answer, even if your answer was correct You might learn something you didn’t know about the content of the question

• Turn to the Practice Plan and design your study plan from

now until test day

LITERATURE

There are two additional questions that you will be asked to answer One is “How many semesters of courses based mainly on English literature have you taken from grade 10 to the present?” The other question lists course content and asks you to mark those statements that apply to the courses you have taken You will be told which ovals to fill in for each question The College Board is collecting statistical information If you choose to answer, you will use the key that is provided and blacken the appropriate ovals in row Q You may also choose not to answer, and that will not affect your grade When everyone has completed filling in this portion of the answer sheet, the supervisor will tell you

to turn the page and begin The answer sheet has 100 numbered ovals, but there are only approxi-mately 60 multiple-choice questions on the test, so be sure to use only ovals 1 to 60 (or however many questions there are) to record your answers

My Heart’s in the Highlands

Line My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here,

My heart’s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer,

A-chasing the wild deer and following the roe–

My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go!

Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,

The birthplace of valor, the country of worth!

Wherever I wander, wherever I rove, The hills of the Highlands forever I love

Farewell to the mountains high cover’d with snow,

Farewell to the straths* and green valleys below,

Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods,

Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods!

My heart’s in the Highlands, my heart is not here,

My heart’s in the Highlands a-chasing the deer,

A-chasing the wild deer and following the roe–

My heart’s in the Highlands, wherever I go!

—Robert Burns

* Wide river valleys.
