C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 If I want my son to try the National Latin Exam level 1 next year, where should he be with his Latin by then? If he's done Latin for Children C, would that cover most of the material? Or do I really need to get him in a high school book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in GA Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Did you know that you can go to the website and download this and last year's tests? I had a friend send me a test she didn't need and it was a great way to see where my ds was. Here's the link: National Latin Exam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Thanks, it's very interesting but it does not help me in planning. I don't currently own Latin for Children C, and am not sure what it covers. I want to get to where my son needs to be for the exam next year. I get the feeling LfC C might be enough for the Latin part, but not necessarily for the Roman life part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 woah, I'm learning there are SIX levels??? I'm assuming the sixth isn't really high school level, now would it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Silly me. I printed the 2007 exam (Intro and level 1) but I can't find the answers online! Help!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readwithem Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 If you scroll down past all the exams, the answers to all the exams should be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 Call me an idiot, if you will, but I really can't find them! :crying: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Yes, there are a lot of levels; however, some students start Latin in Middle School or at a young age. My teen started Latin I (outside the home) in 8th grade. This year, as an 11th grader, she'll be taking the Latin 4 exam.

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 The 2006 exam has the key at the end, but I must be blind, or the 2007 exam simply doesn't have the key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readwithem Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 The 2006 exam has the key at the end, but I must be blind, or the 2007 exam simply doesn't have the key. I just checked and you're right! I think they must have been somewhere online because we used all the previous exams for practice. I wonder if they moved them once they posted the 2008 questions and answers...

C_l_e_0..Q_c Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 thanks for confirming I'm not going crazy.. (or crazier) Based on my home made key, my son just scored 37/40 on the Intro exam, and 31/40 on Latin I. We're in good shape! :D On Latin I, three errors were on Roman Life. There's one question that I don't know how to correct. It says: Cūr, ____________, irātus es? Vexantne tē puellae? A) Antōniō B) Antōnī C) Antōniōs D) Antōnius Wouldn't this be the Vocative Antōnie? It's not one of the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readwithem Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 We haven't gotten the results from this year, but the one question my dd missed from last year was about Roman life. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on that, it's impossible to know every possibility :) Both years we've spent a few weeks doing practice tests - that's been her Latin for those two weeks or so. Then she would take the test and return to her regular Latin schedule. If your ds has done that well "cold", he should ace it next year with just a little practice :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
