<p>Could someone who has already taken or is familiar with the Latin SAT II, tell me how hard it is, and what prep books are the best to study with.</p>
<p>There's only one Latin prepbook out there. I can't remember the name, but I heard it has some errors in it. I wouldn't bother.</p>
<p>I took the test in June with only one year behind me (CB recommends 2-4). Got a 700. It isn't too bad. You could probably do better.</p>
<p>One of the reasons it's relatively easy is that <em>most</em> of the questions are based on grammar. You don't need to have gigantic vocabulary. The derivatives test pretty basic words-- I wouldn't stress over them. You might have some difficulty comprehending the short reading passages. But, like I said, most of the questions test grammar. You don't necessarily need to know the meaning of words in a sentence to guess their cases, numbers, moods, etc. Just be sure that you can recognize patterns and have memorized the paradigms. You'll be fine.</p>
