Practice the Beginning Reading level · Timed practice set

How this exam is different

• Questions come from the passages. There is no separate grammar drill.
• Culture, history, and mythology appear only when they connect to the story.
• The reading level adds future tense for first and second conjugation, hic and ille, participles, and simple indirect statement, still in the service of reading.

Roman world in context

• The same Beginning map, legends, and city life can show up if the passage touches them.
• Examples include Pompeii and Vesuvius, the early heroes, and Roman houses and meals.
