poetca just joined TestMagic.
I took the subject test on 11.8 and felt like I got my literary butt kicked after months of poring over dreadful Restoration comedies and middle english crap. Sorry- never have been a fan of William Congreve or Chaucer.

Anyway, I'm praying that I score at least in the 50th percentile, which seems to be a common "cutoff." Like most prospective English Ph.D.s, I did very well (96th percentile) on the verbal portion of the general GRE. I have been dreading the subject test for years and now I know why. I had twenty minutes left with forty questions to go. I almost had a panic attack in the poor fifth-grader's desk I was stuffed into.

Anyone with any luck getting scores by phone yet? I realize it's a bit early but the suspense is killing me.
