Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Cantabria PAU Greek II (Griego II) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In Classical Attic Greek, what is the genitive singular form of the first-declension feminine noun σοφία ('wisdom')?
A.σοφίας
B.σοφίης
C.σοφίᾳ
D.σοφιῶν
Explanation: In Attic Greek, first-declension feminine nouns ending in alpha pure (preceded by ε, ι, or ρ) retain α throughout the singular declension, yielding genitive singular σοφίας. The vowel η appears instead in Ionic dialect forms.
2What is the nominative/accusative plural form of the second-declension neuter noun δῶρον ('gift')?
A.δῶροι
B.δῶρα
C.δώρους
D.δώρων
Explanation: Second-declension neuter nouns end in -ον in the nominative singular and take the ending -α in the nominative, accusative, and vocative plural (δῶρα).
3What is the genitive singular form of the third-declension dental-stem noun παῖς ('child', stem παιδ-)?
A.παιδί
B.παῖδα
C.παιδός
D.παίδων
Explanation: Nouns of the third declension add the ending -ος to the stem in the genitive singular. For the dental stem παιδ-, the genitive singular is παιδός.
4Which form represents the 3rd person plural present active indicative of the thematic verb λύω ('to unbind')?
A.λύεις
B.λύει
C.λύομεν
D.λύουσι(ν)
Explanation: The 3rd person plural present active indicative ending for thematic (-ω) verbs in Attic Greek is -ουσι(ν) (derived from *-οντι), producing λύουσι(ν).
5What type of augment is applied to form the imperfect indicative of initial-consonant verbs like λύω (imperfect ἔλυον)?
A.Syllabic augment (ἐ-)
B.Temporal augment (vowel lengthening)
C.Reduplication
D.Zero augment
Explanation: Verbs beginning with a consonant add a prefixing syllabic augment ἐ- in past indicative tenses (e.g., λύω → ἔλυον). Verbs beginning with a vowel undergo temporal augment (vowel lengthening).
6Which of the following forms is the nominative singular contract form of the second-declension noun νόος ('mind') in Attic Greek?
A.νόημα
B.νοῦς
C.νόον
D.νόος
Explanation: In Attic Greek, second-declension stems in -ο- undergo contraction when preceded by ο or ε, contracting -οος to -οῦς (νόος → νοῦς).
7Which form represents the nominative plural of the first-person personal pronoun ('we') in Classical Greek?
A.ἐγώ
B.ὑμεῖς
C.ἡμεῖς
D.σφεῖς
Explanation: The first-person nominative plural pronoun ('we') is ἡμεῖς. In contrast, ὑμεῖς means 'you all' (2nd person plural).
8What is the dative plural form of the third-declension liquid stem noun ῥήτωρ ('orator', stem ῥητορ-)?
A.ῥητόροις
B.ῥητόρων
C.ῥήτορας
D.ῥήτορσι(ν)
Explanation: Third-declension liquid stems form the dative plural by adding -σι(ν) directly to the stem (ῥητορ- + -σι → ῥήτορσι(ν)).
9What is the first person singular future active indicative of the labial-stem verb γράφω ('to write')?
A.γράψω
B.γράσω
C.γραφήσω
D.ἔγραψα
Explanation: The sigmatic future adds -σ- to the verb stem. When a labial consonant (π, β, φ) combines with -σ-, it produces the double consonant ψ (γράφ- + -σω → γράψω).
10Which form represents the 3rd person singular weak (first) aorist active indicative of πέμπω ('to send')?
A.ἔπεμπον
B.ἔπεμψε(ν)
C.πεπόμφει
D.πέμψει
Explanation: The first (weak) aorist active incorporates an augment (ἐ-), tense suffix -σα- (labial π + σ → ψ), and person ending -ε(ν) in the 3rd person singular, yielding ἔπεμψε(ν).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this practice bank in the same format as the real Cantabria PAU exam?

No, and it is important to know the difference. The official Cantabria PAU paper, organised by the University of Cantabria (UNICAN), is a 90-minute examination sat in Spanish (or in the target language for foreign-language papers) and built around open and semi-constructed written tasks that must be answered and justified in full. Under Real Decreto 534/2024, open and semi-constructed responses must account for at least 70% of every paper, so the real exam is not a multiple-choice test. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of the official 2º Bachillerato syllabus — not an official translation, not a past paper, and not a simulation of the exam format. Use it to drill the underlying knowledge and reasoning quickly, then practise the official written, oral, graphic, practical, or performance tasks separately, because that is what the examiners actually mark.

What is the fee for taking the PAU exam in Cantabria (UNICAN 2026)?

The base registration fee for the PAU Access Phase is EUR 71.09, as set by the University of Cantabria (UNICAN) PAU Organising Commission.

What passing score is required on the PAU Greek II exam in Cantabria?

The exam is marked on a 0–10 scale. A minimum score of 4.0 is required in the Access Phase to combine with the Bachillerato GPA.

What is the duration of the PAU Griego II exam?

The examination duration is 90 minutes.

Which university administers the PAU in Cantabria?

The examination is organized by the University of Cantabria (UNICAN) PAU Organising Commission.
