Course summary

How you'll be assessed

Latin is not the easiest subject a student can choose in that there aren’t too many convenient shortcuts. It does require a good power of recall and loads of discipline as grammar and vocabulary are committed to memory. There will be regular exercises to test this – think Hermione Granger! Further, students will practice the type of questions they will face in each of the units; where appropriate, such questions will be assessed according to the guidelines laid down by A-level subject examiners.
