[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone feel that taking Latin as a foreign language made a difference on the verbal score? [/quote] Once upon a time, when the test was heavily vocabulary and analogies, it might have. But the verbal section now is so different; have you looked at it? I was dispirited to see that many of the reading comprehension passages are not literature but science narratives using data analysis (ie, "Two arctic researchers are studying ice eels and discover that after the eels reproduce their young have three flippers...."). Latin is great and all, but I would only advise taking it for its own sake. Would recommend encouraging your child to read a lot, and read for pleasure. That helps.[/quote]
