Dec. 2007 Latin SAT II

<p>Any last minute tips for this exam?</p>

<p>Also, what would be considered a "good" score?</p>

<p>A good grasp of English vocabulary--and common sense--is required to do well on the Etymology section, which bugged me quite a bit.</p>

<p>Reading comprehension was very bothersome, and there was a lot of it.
Imagine the Critical Reading section on the SAT I, except that the passage is in Latin...</p>

<p>Still, the examination is very straightforward, and you should walk in confident.</p>

<p>Be careful with haphazard guessing--each incorrect answer on a four choice question will cost you 1/3 of a point as opposed to 1/4.</p>

<p>This isn't an exam you can really study for. Hope you have extremely strong foundations in Latin grammar.</p>

<p>I received a 780 (92nd percentile), much to my disappointment.
For colleges, I'd say anything above a 700 is sweet,
but this is Latin--standards are much higher.</p>

<p>Score - %
800 - 95
790 - 93
780 - 92
770 - 91
760 - 89
750 - 86
740 - 84
730 - 82
720 - 79
710 - 77
700 - 73</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>

<p>Thanks for the response. I certainly hope that my score is just as "disappointing" as yours : )
Congratulations!</p>

<p>Did anyone else take this? How did you do?</p>
