I got a 28/48, which is a 3. The poem used for questions 16-32 had a strange syntax and style which was a bit confusing and convoluted. Occasionally, I wasn't sure what the authors were trying to covey or didn't catch the symbolism they used. I definitely need to brush up on my vocabulary and literary/poetry terms as well as learn the different poetry rhyming stanza forms. The questions I found the easiest were the ones that you can directly infer from the text and were more straight-foward in what they were asking.
