Diagnostic Test

The diagnostic test from Peterson's AP English was quite different than I had expected it to be. Originally I assumed (foolishly, apparently) that the questions would be mostly based on the novels that we will be reading with little emphasis on other literary topics. Because of this assumption, I was very surprised to find that all of the questions were based on passages in the test itself and that only one of those passages came from a novel. Other than being taken off-guard by the emphasis on other sources of literature, I did not find the questions themselves to be extremely surprising. Most of the questions were very similar to what I've seen in the past--what type of poem is this, what does this represent/mean, etc. What frustrated me the most about the diagnostic test was how difficult it was for me. This is probably because I haven't taken the class yet, but it was still incredibly irritating to me that I was having so much trouble selecting the best answer. In many cases I felt that either that multiple answers were equally correct, or that none of them were quite fitting for the question being asked.
