June Latin SAT2

<p>“pervenire” means to arrive. The answer was “tertio die” because They arrived ON THE THIRD DAY and not FOR THREE DAYS (accusative)</p>

<p>Yeah, I confused the meaning of “pervinire” as “to come through.” I had “tertio die” but changed it. Oh well. </p>

<p>Anyone remember what they they got for the question with “Pueri” and then a passive/deponent?</p>

<p>I don’t remember that one… do remember anything else about it?</p>

<p>I know three of the four passages. I can’t find the last one about the war against corinth, but the other three are:</p>

<p>Passage 1 was from Pliny.
Passage 2 was from Cornelius Nepos.
Passage 3 was from Ovid’s Heroides. </p>

<p>Don’t really remember the derivatives. I remember the one about the itinerant travelers or something, I think that was from “iter.” Don’t really remember the rest of them but I felt confident in those answers.</p>

<p>All in all I thought the hardest sections were the first passage and the “complete-the-sentence” section. What about you?</p>

<p>What did you guys use to study? Is the only Latin book the REA one?</p>

<p>I just did one released exam from Collegeboard</p>

<p>I know that in the official SAT Subject Test book from College Board there is one exam. There’s also the one online, and the two from REA. Otherwise, I don’t know of any others. That’s one of the reasons why the Latin test is so difficult: there are no practice tests available for it!</p>

<p>I felt like I did alright on the Latin, although I always hate the questions that ask for the meaning of a sentence.</p>

<p>The first passage was definitely the most annoying one, the writer kept thanking and admiring the recipient for the entire letter until the last sentence, which, as it figures, was the only sentence that I couldn’t translate closely. </p>

<p>Also, am I the only one who thought the “which sentence rewritten has the closest meaning” section was extremely difficult? I thought that section was the hardest, I had trouble with all of them except the one about the purpose clause.</p>

<p>I didn’t study much, just looked over the practice questions on college board…</p>

<p>I didn’t think that the “which sentence rewritten has the closest meaning” section was that difficult. I always found the “complete-the-sentence” section to be the most difficult of the grammar-related sections.</p>

<p>I struggled with the rewriting the sentence and keeping the meaning. It occurred to me several times that if I were to rewrite this sentence, I would never have written it any of these ways.</p>

<p>But when it boiled down to checking and correcting my answers, only two of them stood out as vague. I believe it was the 1st and the 4th ones?</p>

<p>Yeah maybe you’re right, although I can’t remember specific ones I had trouble with, this test is fading more from my memory with each passing day. I’m just glad I was able to get to the end, I usually have trouble getting to every question on a subject test, much less checking my answers.</p>

<p>Also, I tried to find where the fourth passage from was from, but I failed to find it… all I could remember was that the general they were talking about was named Conon, I don’t know if anyone else will have better luck or even if anyone cares anymore.</p>

<p>How did people do/is anyone retaking? I got a 750…better than I expected (I had a really tough week and didn’t study much) but I’m not ecstatic. I want to major in Classics, and I think I did really well on the AP, so I’m worried this’ll look a little weak comparatively. Anyone have ideas in terms of whether or not to retake?</p>
