<p>god in preparing for the SATII Latin and the AP Latin...ive found that there is absolutely no test prep ANYWHERE....</p>
<p>i understand that us latin kids are the vast vast vast minority...but come on a few practice tests somewhere would have been nice</p>
<p>anyone find anything....anywhere???</p>
<p>A new book on SAT II will be published by College Board in August. It will include a practice test on Latin. </p>
<p>Check amazon.com or bn.com for ISBN 0874477565.</p>
<p>There's really not much to it. You study the grammar and vocabulary and practice literature. For the AP, you read Catullus/Ovid/Horace/Cicero/Vergil and get old tests from the College Board. There shouldn't be a need for test prep books.</p>
<p>AP wasnt that difficult...the college board has released a few tests but the SATII is really unconventional</p>
<p>haha just expressing some frustration</p>
<p>The good thing is that there aren't many native latin speakers killing the curve.</p>
<p>you can't kill a curve...curve is determined before administration based on test difficulty</p>
<p>wait wait wait... there is a Latin SAT 2?? <em>runs to college board</em><br>
whooooah... that is so awesome! I am taking that!!!</p>
<p>does anyone have the conversion chart for the SAT II Latin? i want to know how many questions you can miss and still get a good score...</p>
<p>For one particular test, it was </p>
<p>800 800 800 800 800 800 800 800 790 780 770 760 750 740 740 730 720 710 710 700 690 etc.</p>
<p>wow...that is a really nice scale... I'm definately taking latin now...</p>
<p>what sort of stuff is on the test? like reading comp or what?</p>
<p>lets see...i just took it
theres derivatives
sentence completion
which of these changes the meaning of the sentence a least
reading comp questions (like on the AP test)
and plain translation stuff</p>
<p>Does anyone know how difficult it is, say, in comparason to the NLE??</p>
<p>i thought it was alittle harder....but keep in mind that the curve for this is fairly large whereas the NLE you only get a gold for around a 38ish out of 40</p>
<p>Latin scholar s advises taking it at junior year end rather than sophomore. If you took it in soph year, take it again and do a lot better.</p>
<p>haha, I am a senior now,so, no worries there...</p>
<p>I am trying to decide whether I should take the latin or german...
saying that I got maxima on the NLE, aprox. what score range can I hope for on the latin SAT2</p>
<p>"you can't kill a curve...curve is determined before administration based on test difficulty"</p>
<p>I'm talking about the percentile curve. There won't be any cases where getting 800s would land you in the 60th percentile.</p>
<p>Hmm, clearly you've never taken the chinese SAT II</p>
