June 2009 - Latin

<p>Were the Romans in a hopeless situation? Did cum=since? Was morsel from mordeo? I said Flavious fled from the enemy because isn’t that what “transfugat” means? If I think of more I’ll post them…
Can someone explain the “ut non” one to me. Why is it not “ne”?</p>

<p>Oh yeah what was the one about Nero being away from his house? Was quae the subject of accederent (or w/e) or was it acior and gravior or something? Was something dependent on accederent?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes to all (I think)</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Transfugo means to desert. Which means he deserted to the enemy side.</p>

<p>I think I said that quae was the subject, and I don’t remember what I put for the Nero one.</p>

<p>I believe acior and gravior was the subject (something more serious and bitter happened). was leniri an infinitive in the anger one? And did cum mean since or while?</p>

<p>leniri I said was an infinitive; cum I said since.</p>

<p>Don’t remember if I put quae or acior and gravior. hmmm</p>

<p>ok I’m feeling a little better. I thought quae was referring to the acior and gravior as in “acior and gravior disaster, which accederent” (sorry for the half english half latin haha)</p>

<p>Put quae as subject.
fata was nom. plural neuter
Romans were hopeless
tango was latin word
mordeo for morsel</p>

<p>How many years of latin do you think you need to take this test?</p>

<p>have people decided on any series of answers?</p>

<p>I’ll make a tentative list of answers:</p>

<p>Flavius was seen among the enemy
aliquid was the subject
the mother gave the horses so that they would “veherentur” (be brought)
“Ut non” instead of “Ne”
“That you dare”
Tango as a derivative
“You seem”
Your eyes had taken my eyes away
Morsel from “mordeo”
Romans were hopeless
“Fata” was nom. plural neuter</p>

<p>what was the fata question again i forgot.
also what was the aliquid question?</p>

<p>The “Fata” question was from the Medea passage; it asked what case “Fata” was, and it was nominative plural because it was the subject of the plural verb “(they) drag.”</p>

<p>I can’t remember exactly what the aliquid question - I know it was asking “What determines the case of…”</p>

<p>where’s the scale online?</p>

<p>Idk but last year a 52 was a 700 I believe.</p>

<p>Woah, if that’s true this year, it means that 12+ questions missed can still be a 700+</p>

<p>crazy</p>

<p>Does anyone know how many people take the Latin test annually?</p>

<p>was the fill in the blank section hard for you guys? I found it really confusing…</p>

<p>I didn’t think it was that bad, although I think it was somewhat harder than the AP latin exam. I’m hoping that a 51/70 is a 700, I think I got a 49-55/70. For an SAT subject test, is a 700 a good score? or is the standard different than the regular SAT?</p>

<p>what do you guys think the scale is going to be</p>

<p>750+ good score, 700 ok, 800 :D</p>

<p>When’s the next time one can sit the Latin? is it Ocotober? or December? Because I messed up the June one REALLY BADLY (ran out of time, started to panic etc) and know I’ve not done too well :(</p>
