Re: GCSE OCR Latin LiteratureI noticed the mistake, and pointed it out, then our latin teacher was called in, who then phoned the exam board. I keep hearing about all these mistakes in exam papers this year, it was pretty cool to experience one...though it didn't effect me too much!

Re: GCSE OCR Latin LiteratureYou'll be fine. If you're doing HT Latin, you'll probably get at least an A, maybe a B(Original post by sarah-marsbars)

I did section B, but because I never really had time to check my paper thoroughly, I was worried I may have missed something.
Is there a section A and B for tomorrow too? -

Re: GCSE OCR Latin LiteratureI did Latin GCSE a few years ago. I didn't do any revision at all, especially for this paper. In fact, one question asked why Baucus and Philemon stopped walking at the end of the path, my answer was 'they ran out of batteries?'. And on a long answer response to Why was Horace's work amusing I just put 'It isn't.'.
Needless to say I did pretty badly, don't follow my lead kiddies ;-) -

why are they timed so awkwardly!? I thought exams were at 9 or 1.30, and that was it :L
That just seems so unfair^^ -

Re: GCSE OCR Latin LiteratureThey're both at 1:15 so they clash. People doing history and latin have a 5 minute 'isolated' break after latin before history so that your friends who have already sat the history exam can't tell you the questions.(Original post by EllHv1)

Re: GCSE OCR Latin LiteratureOh I see. I think that's really stupid on the exam boards' part as latin lit and history are two very intense exams really; lots of writing!(Original post by gcsejitters)
