<p>Does anyone know of any suitable materials to prepare for the SAT Latin Subject test</p>
<p>I've been looking myself, and haven't found a good one...</p>
<p>should a year of latin be enough?</p>
<p>I doubt that a year of Latin would do it. If you prepped the heck out of it you might be okay. But I haven't seen any materials that would allow you to prep the heck out of it, so probably not.</p>
<p>I saw a book on Amazon.com. It says this book will be released in February 2006. . .</p>
<p>Latin is the least popular subject test. Thus few made prep books for it. </p>
<p>But I really adore this language. :)</p>
<p>Wow, that'd be really cool. I'll look for it. Hope it's good.</p>
<p>Yay Latin!!! :)</p>
<p>Oh my god, the book released today! </p>
<p>"SAT Subject Test: Latin (REA)"</p>
<p>I think Latin is the most melodious language in the world. =)</p>
<p>Ugh, I hate Latin. I've taken it way to long (4 years in high school, 2 in middle) and I probaly still will do mediocre on the test. Thanks for pointing out that practice book as well. </p>
<p>Anyone know how difficult it is?</p>
<p>can anyone tell me how hard the SAT II in latin is? i am planning on taking it next year, my junior year. by then i will have taken honors latin 3 and 4, and am planning on taking ap latin 5 my senior year. would it be better to wait until senior year to take it or should i take it at the end of junior year because i want to take as many SAT IIs as reasonably possible. i am currently getting an a- in honors 3</p>
<p>haha, i would reccomend shooting a pm to Salve!, he seems to be our resident latin expert around here!</p>
<p>i don’t think you should take it as there seems to be no regular vocab list. if there’s a word you don’t know, it’s too bad.</p>
<p>Has anyone taken the test and has some words of advice? I’m taking it in June and have no idea what to do.</p>
<p>I took the latin AP after level IV latin (Vergil), and i found it very easy. </p>
<p>I don’t remember the contents exactly. There were a few short passages (10-15 lines) to translate and answer some grammar/content questions. If you know your grammar very well (declensions, verb endings, how to form adverbs and adjectives, pronouns, whatnot), and you have a reasonable vocabulary and good high school level translation skills, you should be fine. Idk exact details about the curve, but i remember from a practice test that my hs teacher had (which is now from many years ago), you could get about 6 questions wrong and still get an 800, which i think is fairly generous. I was a good student in my hs latin classes, but didn’t have particularly exceptional skills, and i found it rather easy to get an 800. Know your grammar well and you should be fine. </p>
<p>You should be able to find a practice test on the college board website or in the big book of practice SAT II exams (one from each subject). </p>
<p>But really, if you’ve been a good latin student for 4 years, i think some grammar review on more obscure topics (comparative adverbs, future perfect, things you might not remember) should be preparation enough. I would recommend taking the test after your fourth or fifth year of latin, although for a very good student 3 might be enough (depending on the level of translation your school does in the third year).</p>
