im assuming you did your exam 2 years or more ago? thing is, the set texts rotate every 2 years, so this year and in 07 everyone either did Aenid or Baucis, town mouse etc. but before then, i dont have a clue what people did ^_^ lol

I learnt Pliny quite thoroughly.

Especially the start. I have the 24th August, fast boats, war ships, Rectina, pumice, ash, heavy breathing, inflamed lungs, and his death was compared to that of sleeping lodged in my brain.

Sempronia and Clodia will hopefully be easy to learn. I have completely forgotten about Clodia.

OCR could be really sneaky and put the two small ones in. Very unlikely obviously.

Isn't there always an extract from Pliny? Or is that assumed just because there usually is?
Luckily there's a nice big gap between my Eng. Lit. exam on Tuesday morning and the Latin in the afternoon, so I can cram then!
When's the Lang. 2 paper?

Ouch that sucks. You should really have asked your exams officer to reschedule some for the next day. I had Eng Lit., Latin 3 and Prose, Maths 4H, and 3 hours of French AS (listening and writing). I got it rescheduled so Maths and Eng. Lit. are on the 21st now.

Yay

my latin prose clashes with my ICT. which is a bit of a joke, ICT is a half gcse and counts for absolutely nothing in the real world. they're letting us sit latin first though, so we're fresh for it :biggrin:

That's exactly the same with me.
ICT is pointless. I hate it. I don't think I'm going to bother revising.
And latin, I'm worried about it a lot. especially roman life.

RE: roman life,
are there any sites which have some of the notes on it?
cause i kind of lost 99% of mine...
i'm really nervous!
virgil was fine though, & i think i did ok with paper 1
fingers crossed.

I think Roman life is worse than the translation.
I'm so worried about it all.
Pliny is awful to learn but we don't need to know a translation so I'm just learning the basic story line.
I know clodia and sempronia well now.
Ah what a fun week this is going to be

*Gee*

Learn all the texts which although is a nightmare at least you wont be surprised when you see the extracts! how did everyone find the verse?

Yeh I h8 pliny finding it harder to elarn than the verse was.
Background all depends on the questions that come up.

15 mins more of exams and i could have got 2%

No. there's no translation in the prose.
Well that's what I've been told by my teacher anyway.
So it shouldn't be that bad.
