<p>It was not really hard but not easy too... Some questions were almost the same as in the REA book so really good book to study for the Latin subject. The last passage was kinda hard and there was a lot of questions about the case of the nouns and that was cool. I missed 2-3 questions, one about the scansion I didn't study about it since it's just one question and I didn't even try to answer it --> lost of time for me.
I finished 5 minutes earlier so I just read everything again and I think I made some silly mistakes like one was Fulvia placuit quam beata esset. I know we translate quam by how but I put "as" I dont know why :(</p>
<p>I took it. I thought it was alright. I got a 690 in June and I am fairly confident I got in 700s this time (just because I don’t remember how I felt coming out of June.)</p>
<p>-Scansion, if I remember, was D-D-S-D?
-How do you translate the Fulvia placuit quam beata esset one? I don’t even remember what I guessed, do you remember the choices?
-Just an interesting tidbit, I’m almost positive that “The Death of Caesar” passage was on the June SAT. Not sure if the questions were the same, but the passages were nearly identical.</p>
<p>Also, I know that according to the REA book, a raw score of 64/71 is an 800, but yesterday’s exam had 73 questions, so are we just not going to know what the curve is?</p>
<p>Can I ask you how many questions wrong you got for the 690 just to see the curve…
Now that I am thinking about the test I’m sure I did 4-5 mistakes in the first part A–>E and then for the passages I just hope I understood them well. Do you remember something about “recepti”, they asked the case and Hispaniae I put dative because it was with praeerat.
Verb with a preposition always needs a dative…
The first question was a little tricky because “animal” is like “mare” so the ablative is like the dative so “animali”.
I also remember a question about imitator and that is equal to or it can surpass or something like that, if you remember… There was another question like we had to put num because it was a question…</p>
<p>for the curve I just looked at the official test in the book and there were 74 questions and the curve was 66/74 but I think this test was harder than the one in the book, even the first questions were hard…lol
We’ll see but I hope I get over 700…</p>
<p>You don’t find out how many questions you get right or wrong on the subject tests, so I’m not sure. The REA Book has a 690 to be 51/71, but this test had 73 questions.</p>
<p>I don’t remember what cases I put for recepti or Hispaniae, sorry.
Animal in the ablative is animali
The imitator question was something about how you can never equal the imitator (or something along those lines.)</p>
<p>I took the Latin Subject Test as well and thought it was alright.</p>
<p>I didn’t study Latin since I got my Latinum in 2008 and therefore I was kinda unsure about how much of the contents I would remember on the test. Actually I thought especially the first grammar parts were pretty easy but maybe that’s just a feeling and I messed them. But the translation parts were also okay although I couldn’t remember all the grammar rules in particular questions and guessed a lot ^^</p>
<p>I hope for something 700ish as well… But maybe I’m too optimistic since I didn’t study at all. ^^</p>
<p>As I said before, the practice test has a curve of 66/74 for a 800 but I thought the test was a little harder than the practice test, especially for the translation part(half of the test) so maybe around in the worst case but really really worst I think it could be 760 but I’m sure it will never happen because that’s too harsh and maximum 790 but more than likely around 770-780 I think…</p>
