Beth in SW WA Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 UW in Seattle requires SAT II for homeschoolers to validate foreign language grades. Any of your dc take this test? We'll also do a bit of Spanish w/ Rosetta Stone. I'm curious how tough these SAT II tests are. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathy in Richmond Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I've had two kids take the SAT II test in Latin. Even after several years of Latin study, this test was not terribly easy. It covers all of Latin grammar and also tests reading ability with several passages. The best (well, only) review book we found was the REA guide. That's your best bet for seeing what the test covers. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had wondered if something had happened to my son's sixteen year old brain or if the test was really that hard! Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwen in VA Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 My dd got a 5 on the AP Latin Virgil exam yet her lowest SAT2 score was in Latin. She thought the Latin SAT2 exam was HARD HARD HARD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in Richmond Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Same exact story for my dd, Gwen! She is contemplating a retake in June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 My teen also took the SAT 2 Latin test after taking AP Latin (in her case AP Latin Literature). She did quite well (740, I believe). She spent some time with the REA SAT Subject Test in Latin book. She also used a book that her Latin instructor recommended: Excelability in Advanced Latin by Marianthe Colakis. Good luck to the test takers! Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I just asked my daughter what she found most helpful as regards this test. She said taking the sample test in The Official Study Guide for all SAT Subject Tests was quite helpful in showing her what was expected.
