Opis

This collection
of tests provides practice for students preparing to take the new Latin
language examinations at the WJEC examination board Levels 1 and 2. It also
includes tests similar to those used in the OCR examination board GCSE
examinations. The book is divided into five sections, each devoted to a
different format or level of tests. Words that are not expected to be known at
each level are glossed. The range of grammatical and syntactical features is
similar to that found in the public examinations. The tests are designed to
cover translation and comprehension of specially constructed stories in Latin.
Users are not expected to have familiarity with any particular course book, and
the stories may also be used simply as a graduated Latin reader, if desired.Also available: Latin Language Tests: Mark Schemes
