Latin SACs?

(1/3) > >>

eeps:
I thought I'd give this board some life... has anyone done any SACs for Latin yet? I've got my first Latin SAC this Wednesday; it's a 40-minute unseen translation. I'm curious to see what other schools do for Latin...

werdna:
Our first Latin SAC will be a grammar test.. Latin's a huge killer this year! I can now see why it's so darn competitive. :P

binders:
how is it a killer?

werdna:
I just feel that the level of difficulty has been raised by a huge notch - much harder translations, heaps of grammar to learn and all that. Really time consuming stuff too, it's the only subject I'm behind in at the moment.

binders:
The only really tricky grammar you'll have to handle will be the sequence of tenses, and subordinate clauses - syntax in other words. and i think they won't be until unit 4.
the rest (morphology) will succumb to drills.  harder translations is actually a good thing, as even if you don't get them right, you will get exposed to the structures you need.  I'd encourage you to look for help, ask questions, compare translations. even if you're a 45+ student, you can still learn something.

you must have it harder than i did though, i didn't notice much difference between year 11 & year 12 in terms of difficulty. selections from livy, caesar and the odd bit of ovid.
