We're supposed to read everything, from notes of the fridge till early ballads and beyond. There were six texts being used by the teachers on our final Literary Analysis exam, the worst exam of all, because you had to "know simply everything there was to learn during the five years in the institute."
The most difficult one was the first page of HP 1. And, believe me, it was difficult. Two of our best students got C marks, working with that text, and I was just lucky - I didn't get it! :D I got a piece from Roald Dahl I haven't read before (we didn't know what text we'll be given), but which was fairly easy.
Also, the favourite words of our interpretaion teacher: "If you're a translator, you have to know everything. If you don't, it your problem, not mine." Then he proceeded, telling us how an atomic reactor works. ;)
