Here are some of the topics we've studied since the first test (things to watch out for in parentheses:
Sum and Possum (Remember that the imperfect of sum uses -a [eram, eras, erat...], and the future of sum uses -i [ero, eris, erit].)
Complementary Infinitive (We have a tendency to confuse infinitives with imperatives. Nothing is an infinitive that does not end in -re [We will learn passive voice infinitives and past tense infinitives later, but for now they all end in -re]).
Third declension nouns (These are the words for which it is most important to learn the vocabulary entry: rex, regis, m.)
Third conjugation (Do not put b's in the future forms of these verbs.)
Demonstratives (hic, ille, iste) and adjectives with -ius genitive forms (These are the words that make it really important to get comfortable with the idea of substantive adjectives, adjectives with 'implied nouns': 'man' for adjectives with masculine endings, 'woman' for feminine, 'thing' for neuter.)
General suggestions:
Review vocabulary, and however you go about it, make sure you mix up the order of the words if possible. This enables your brain to form a stronger connection.
Learn both the meaning of the word and which declension or conjugation it is in.
