Prepare for UIL Literary Criticism
The UIL Literary Criticism Contest challenges high school students in literary history, literary terms, close reading, analysis, and the works included on the annual UIL reading list. Strong preparation requires both a broad understanding of literature and regular practice applying literary concepts to contest-style questions.
Hexco offers UIL Literary Criticism study materials and practice tests designed to help students prepare throughout the competition season. Resources include Literary Criticism Study Notes, practice packets, eMentor online practice, FlipCards, and Lit Crit Concepts covering literary history, terminology, essay writing, and major literary awards.
Students and coaches should also review the current UIL Literary Criticism contest information, reading list, handbook, and official study materials for current rules and contest requirements.
