Latin Placement and Exam Diagnostic
Instructions:
A. Keep in mind that you are not being graded on this exercise. The department
uses it to determine what level of Latin course you should take and, what is
equally important, what kind of review you will need.
B. This diagnostic exercise will not exempt you from the Language
Requirement,
but you must take it if you want to take a Latin exemption exam once you are
on campus.
C. Translate as accurately as you can both Latin passages and answer the grammar
questions appended to each. Do not use a dictionary or any grammatical help
other than what is provided in the vocabulary lists. Guess at words you do
not know. Spend about 1/2 hour on each passage. If you can’t answer a
grammar question immediately, quickly move on to the next question or passage.
You may go back and check your work.
D. When you are done, click on the SUBMIT button at the end of the page. Alternatively,
you can download this test as a PDF file here, and mail your completed test
