It seems ridiculous that its that high. Is it because generally latin stduents are high-achivers (or public school kids that have been studying latin since they were zygotes)? Or is that a stupid assumption to make?

Yeah lol thats pretty much right.
However, even at these grade boundaries 40%+ of applicants get an A*
Plus, the mark scheme is very nice eg allowing pretty much everything for background, the very kind language score system...

40%+...
No one in our school has ever got an A* since it was even introduced. But saying that there was only 6 of us taking it this year and it's a fairly ****** school.

Still sort of hoping for a B/A though...
Yeah its a lot - its 70 odd that get As and above.
My school doesnt get anywhere near that but gets a few *s....unlike most its not private.
For an A you need 75% ish i believe so you should have a good chance
Hopefully ill get * but doubt it, some of the virgil, 1 q on background and some language was bad.
I ran out of time on the Prose and the Language could have gone a lot better. The Virgil went splendidly though. I'm hoping I'll get an A - I'd be overjoyed with that - don't think it's gonna happen sadly.
Mhm. Funnily enough I was really happy with the Prose and Literature, but they were my strongest two. Language was mediocre (fell for that 'veho' trap like a lot of people), and Roman Life was abysmal, bordering on laughable. the humilation of that exam was only made bearable by the thought that I would never have to do Latin again.
Ha, oh well. Only the 27th of August will tell. Still wish I'd done R.E. instead though.
how do you run out of time! Being part of a well established public school i myself have never found time a problem and am predicted a 9 easily, people at my school took the exam a year early and got 97%-100%
