Anyone taking OCR Latin? EMERGENCY

I have a big problem - For the latin Prose exam, I've been taught:

"Calpurnia"
"Sagae Thessalae"

I've now heard that Virgil's "Aeniad" (spelling?) is also going to be on the exam and I haven't been taught this! Is this going to be on the exam or not? I need to know as soon as possible please because I have not been taught it and I need to nag my teacher if it turns out it's on the exam.

The information I have about my exam is that it has some kind of code: "1942HC - 1942/24" and is Higher tear. Is this the same exam as those who are also doing Virgil? Help!

I'm having a biggggg panic now! Someone help A.S.A.P please!

99% sure that it won't be. I'm doing that exam and we've only learnt Calpurnia and Sagae Thessalae. Don't worry!

Phew. I reallly hope that that's correct. I'm having a hard enough time learning them as it is - I don't need another unfamiliar one on top of that.

Don't worry, I just posted this on the other Latin thread - you only answer on the one you've been taught :smile:

For higher tier, there are 5 papers of which we must do 4. These are:

-Paper 1 (Easier unseen) 30%
-Paper 2 (Verse lit. eg. Aeneid VI) 30%
-Paper 3 (Harder unseen) 20%
-Paper 4 (Prose lit. eg. Sagae Thessalae) 20%
-Paper 5 (Roman Life) 20%

I'm doing 1,2,3 and 4.

Ahhh - So does that mean you're doing the Aeneid instead of about 8 shorter poems? And not as part of the prose paper?

I'm doing:
- 23/05/06 - Verse exam - "Otium", "Fons Bandusia" etc
- 07/06/06 - Prose exam - "Calpurnia", "Sagae Thessalae"
+ Roman life paper

Does that mean you're doing:
- 23/05/06(or different) - Verse exam - "Aeneid VI"
- 07/06/06 - Prose exam - "Calpurnia", "Sagae Thessalae"
+ Roman life / Harder translation

?

I know I'm being difficult, but I'm still not 100% sure what you mean. So "Aeneid" is a verse piece, not a prose piece? And you're doing that instead of little poems?
