crazyforlatin Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 https://www.shmoop.com/test-prep/ Has anyone tried it yet for any of the tests? I can't tell without a subscription if schmoop has the original College Board SAT 2 tests or AP exams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnMyOwn Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 We tried it for extra practice for the Latin SAT subject test. It gave us two additional practice tests. Neither were College Board tests. My dd only wound up using one of the tests due to time constraints and found it significantly harder than the CB tests. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Board does put out one test contained in the huge subject test book with all the subjects. I called the board and confirmed that there is no other official test we can purchase.

I called the board and confirmed that there is no other official test we can purchase. Yes, I bought that big book with all the SAT subject tests. Kathy in Richmond also recommended using old National Latin Exams and the Excelability book from Bolchazy to prepare. For some of the SAT subject tests, the CB does put out an additional book. The Math subject test is one of those. Though, out of the two extra tests we got from that, one was the same as the one in the big book. Also, for some of the AP tests, you can sometimes find old ones online posted for practice by teachers for their students. I'm not sure why it is so hard to get CB practice tests. My dd had access to a ton of them through the teacher she had at PAHS for English Lang last year, so why shouldn't anyone studying for the exam get that same access? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumto2 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 There is an REA book for the Latin Subject Exam also. Dd used it and thought it was very good. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyforlatin Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 I have Excelability and already ordered REA, so I think that should do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedClams Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 We tried Schmoop and it was a huge fail. Too "let's be funny" and very, very little meat. The test prep stuff was hard to sift through and not well presented. My rising junior was taking an sat subject test, act and sat and found that none of the prep stuff they had was worth the subscription. I was planning on using it for bio for a kid this year, but dumped that idea and suffered the financial loss. We used Prep Scholar for ACT - well worth it, and Barons/Princeton books for the SAT tests. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
