Yeah, I just think that since we're the first year taking the new exam format they haven't really got any examples for us to use for anything. No one's done any practice questions set by the board so I can't find any of them. Got the same problem as you........

How are you guys revising language? I find it so hard, can anyone give advice?
And any predictions on the 10 markers for druids / Aeneid??

For language, my teacher is using extracts from the John Taylor latin book new version. It is so useful for grammar and translations. Meanwhile, concerning practice paper questions, strangely my teacher got our class to make up our own papers, which we have given each other to do so. Hope that helps.

Does anyone have any analysis for Aeneid Book 6 and also the Druides/Boudicca text.

I heard that you dont need much analysis for the prose for the exams, I dont have any language analysis anyways, only some meaning analysis.

Does anyone know what the grade boundaries would look like for 9-1?

No idea concerning grade boundaries. For analysis, look up the zigzag booklet. We have them at our school and are so useful for notes

At my school it was 88% for a 9, not sure the rest of the boundaries, but last year the boundaries were around 90% for an A* :s-smilie:

so I'd say 9 is probably 95%. Ugh

My school used 95% for grade 9 as well.
