Assessment

This is a linear course and all written examinations are taken at the end of year 2, in each of the components listed below. There are formal internal written assessments taken in at the end of year 1, but these do not contribute to the final award. Set texts change every 2 years. Those below will be examined in 2020/21 . UNSEEN TRANSLATION AND COMPREHENSION: 2 written papers worth 150 marks - We work through some exciting authors, such as Livy and Caesar, to prepare for this paper, getting an insight into life in the Roman world. PROSE LITERATURE: 2hr written paper worth 75 marks - We study Cicero’s Phillipic and Apuleius Metamorphoses V. VERSE LITERATURE: 2hr written paper worth 75 marks - Everyone should study Virgil and so Aeneid XI is our first set text, followed by some great poetry from Ovid’s Amores.
