OCR A-level Latin Paper 2 - 2nd June 2025 [Exam Chat]

hey guys!
does anyone who does prose comp know how i should go about answering questions that are phrased like 'how does the writer convey _?' (not sure how else to explain them)
my impulse is to do language analysis but looking at mark schemes it never is
i think most mark schemes just give a list of content points but sometimes there are explanation points too (like 'give 3 points' but its a 6 mark question?)
generally they just confuse me bc it's so simple but i can't figure it out so kind of praying there isnt one on monday but there probably will be 😭
ik its a bit last minute but worth a try asking
wishing everybody luck on monday though ))

fr they are pretty confusing paper 3 on tuesday civilisation

how did everyone find it? I did the comprehension thought it was quite tricky (as usual)

I thought the comprehension was alright, it wasn’t as good as the past papers but it definitely could have been a lot worse.
I feel like grammar was the hardest part of it, I could figure out what it meant but I had no clue how to piece some of the bits together.

Do you remember who the author of the passage was? And what text the passage was from

omg i did the comprehension, does anyone remember if any questions required interpreting the writer's text, like what sallust conveyed etc? i didn't read the questions thoroughly and just kinda translated the sections of questions in each answer(((

no thankfully there weren't 🙏 (unless i misread anything)

thanks so much, i hope you found it okay well done on getting another paper done!!!

i do prose composition, i thought some parts were pretty mean, like having to use the gerundive, but i just worked my way around them. vocab was solid and it could've been a lot worse i think!

does anyone know how harsh they are with marking - I don't remember exactly what I wrote but it was something like the plan of the wicked men put the city into to great danger instead of the literal translation that the city came into great danger by the plan of the men - would this difference be penalised
