Hi,

Does anyone know what the grade boundary (raw mark) would approximately be for an A* in Latin, as OCR very helpfully does not publish them!

Thanks

Don't know. It may vary slightly depending on overall results. I received a double B last year with 83 and 78, so not generous. Try not to worry about it. It is in the lap of the gods now. Yo could try praying to Jupiter but miss out the animal sacrifice. One beer would be OK.

You can't get an A* unless you meet all criteria. You need above 90 UMS in A2 modules as well as above 90 UMS at AS. You need 320/400 to get an A and you must be over 360 and gain 90% at A2 to get an A*

Hi,

I was wondering if everyone is memorising the whole of the Virgil word for word or just doing a general overview of the Latin? I have 5 sections left and don't know whether to bother or just read over them and then focus on vocab for Ovid.

You need an A overall, not an A* at A2 AND an A at AS.

If you get 90 at A2, you will be awarded an A* even if you have 70 at AS.

Ah yes, I understand all the UMS etc. I meant the raw marks, as all OCR tell you is the boundary for A which last year was 69/100 and seems low. So I was just wondering if anyone had an idea of what the raw mark boundary would be for A*

We can't know that yet - it's decided towards the end of marking the scripts and is released the day before results.

It's been pretty low historically though...

How did you find the OCR Latin Verse exam today?
I thought it was awful, really hard.

I thought it was nice! The literature was nice, langauge was a little difficult x

I agree, the literature was good but I found the language really hard (didn't help that I ran out time also).....
I just hope the grade boundaries are low

My classmates think they'll be around the same as last year! We can only hope that we've done well!

Well, everyone found it quite hard at my school (though there are only three of us!)
How did other students find it at your school?
