Peterson's AP Engligh diagnostic test

Before begininging Peterson's AP English diagnostic test, I was expecting the test to be similar to the english and reading sections on the ACT. As soon as I begun taking the test I was proven wrong. The layout of the literature and of the questions was something I had not prepared for. I didn't find these suprises challenging, but it took me longer to understand what the question was asking. The results of the test were also shocking to me. I ended up with a better score than what I would of predicted during the test. Some questions that I struggled on while taking the test became more obvious as I continued taking the test. I think that on this test the anwser choices are more varied than those seen on the ACT. This choice makes it more difficult if a person is struggling on the question/passage as a whole, but makes the elimination process easier and the anwser choice more obvious for a person who understands what is being asked.
