Official OCR GCSE Latin Language June 2013

Not too worried about it, to be honest. A401 was fine.

Agreed, the only thing that threw me was 'In capite' - which I said was 'on his head'.

That's right, as it's ablative.

I hadn't realised there were different vocab lists for A401 and 2 - words I knew were glossed, can't complain!

Woop latin! this is the harder language paper if I am right, with the last one regarding the apples and Atlas??? Anyone got any tips for the harder one on wednesday? I dont want to revise too much as I have biology the same day so what are the grammar points worth learning? Also who is doing Pliny, Apuleius and Virgil for literature?

Yeah, I thinks there is a total of 620 words all together. Also are you studying thelyphron for your prose literature?

Yes indeed (I know - classy username, eh?).

I'm not really bothering with meticulous revision of all the grammatical constructions before Wednesday, just doing a couple of hard translations. How about you guys?

Hey everyone, I'm taking this as well. Where are you finding these 'hard texts' to translate? I've got a book full of practice passages but they don't come with the english translations so, although I can see what sort of stuff to expect, I can't actually properly check my answers.

If you go on the OCR website, and look at their past papers for a402h, you can translate the texts and then just use the mark schemes. Also you can then work out the similarities between the exams.

For Virgil, and Plini there are no past papers so there is no point looking for them. You might as well try to make up your own, such as for the ten markers and the eight markers.

Ah, cheers! (can't believe I didn't think of that)

Man, I need to start learning my latin literature at some point... >.>

anyone got any quick and easy ways to learn noun endings?

You just have to learn them... I always look at the tables just before the exam and the first thing I do, before I've even glanced at the rest of the paper, is write them out.

Good luck!
