Don't forget, the multiple choice is 40% of the test, so use the ETS's multiple-choice sections also.
The version of books 10-12 by Campania Publications, Oxford, Ohio, has many study questions. I recommend using the text of books 1-6 edited by Clyde Pharr, and the new version of the material in books 10-12 edited by Barbara Boyd. The Boyd has study questions. These are available from Bolchazy-Carducci publishers in Wauconda IL. Focus Publishing, New Hampshire, offers two commentaries on the Aeneid, one by Williams of all 12 books (reprint of a British 1960s edition) and the other of Book I only. I forget the editor of the latter. The new teacher may be able to find the Austin commentaries on a few books published by Oxford University Press, but they may be out of print. === Don Buck Packer Collegiate Institute Brooklyn NY __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
