June 2006 Latin

<p>How did you all do! (the maybe half dozen of you that took latin...) How many do you think you got wrong? </p>

<p>I know i got at least 1 wrong (the celerius question...) and i got an 800.</p>

<p><strong><em>bump</em></strong></p>

<p>i wanted to take em but i didnt know if 1 year of latin would cut it</p>

<p>i didnt think it would</p>

<p>yeah, that's probably not enough. At least 3... i took it after 4.</p>

<p>I confused manere and monere, so I got at least one wrong, but I got an 800 too. Whatever. I thought it was really easy.</p>

<p>I did pretty horrible....I seriously think something is wrong though, on the college board real SAT book I got a 690 (that was taken on the train and during conversation), but I did horrible in June, it shudders me to even say the number (560). Ugh. The rest of my II's were good, I honestly have no idea what happened.</p>

<p>Wait until your score report comes in, and if it seems really strange you can get it rescored. I think (think) that you have to get something like 20 questions wrong/blank to get in the 500s. I know on some tests you can get 6 wrong and still get an 800.</p>

<p>750- I understood most of it except one of the passages.</p>

<p>Which passage?</p>

<p>The last one...but it's been a month and I can't remember what it was about.</p>

<p>Was that the one with the lawyer who could inspire anger in a judge or soothe him only using words?</p>

<p>I wonder why LER730 hasn't posted here... he's usually on these Latin threads.</p>

<p>please excuse my absence kwijiborjt, i forgot my college board account password and didn't get my score until today...DCCC...</p>

<p>DCCC... I like your style</p>

<p>Yeah it was the one with the lawyer.</p>

<p>i try my best</p>

<p>The other day I spotted a splendid passive periphrastic in indirect discourse. But really...pleonasm is my favorite literary device. Yeah 800.</p>

<p>From my profile quotes:</p>

<p>"Nothing gets me more excited than a good passive periphrastic phrase!"
~me</p>

<p>i myself prefer aposeopesis and the infinitive of purpose construction such as the one used with diffundere when Vergil describes Venus as a Thracian Harpalyce...</p>

<p>I guess I'm not the only one who thought the test was a joke.</p>
