The Ivy Lounge SAT II Literature Cheat Sheet

Lit Cheat Sheet Header.png

The SAT II Literature Subject Test is a fantastic choice for you if you’re generally a strong fiction reader. The beauty of this test is that there’s not too much studying to do, other than practice reading poetry and prose fiction passages from various western traditions, from modern times back a few hundred years. (OK, I realize that just sounded stressful. I'm here to help. Keep reading.)

HOWEVER, you will need to understand figurative language concepts and certain poetry analysis terms in order to correctly identify correct answers. Luckily, in addition to my SAT II Literature Subject Test Failproof Study Plan, I’m including a list of some concepts you CAN study. At the VERY least, know these.

Feel free to print this cheat sheet (it's sized for it and everything) and to pass it along to a friend in need!
