📚 Organize your study materials.

Exam Practice

Review the following tips and tricks and practice for the AP Latin Exam!

Section 1: Multiple Choice Questions

This section mostly consists of single passages, followed by sets of questions asking about various sections of the passage, such as literary devices 📝, translations in context, and scansion.

Strategies For the Multiple Choice Section 💪

  • Read the questions first before reading the passage.

    • It's especially important to avoid wasting time reading the whole passage and trying to translate it before looking at the questions. Think about it this way: Keep your end goal in mind. On the exam, your end goal is to answer as many questions correctly as you can, rather than rendering a translation of every passage provided on the exam.

  • Understand that you may not be able to translate the entire passsage.

    • And that is absolutely alright! College Board isn't looking to see how good of a translator you are, they're looking to see how well you can pick out certain elements within a given passage.

  • Make ABSOLUTELY sure that you are referring to the correct word in the text (when the question specifies.)

    • If a question asks you to translate a word or words in context, make sure that you are translating the right instance of that word. It's critical to double check, especially when that word is a pronoun, like a form of "qui/quae/quod."

  • For sight 👓 passages, quickly scan the passage after reading the questions to see if there are any phrases that you already know from your syllabus reading.

    • Sight 👓 passages are meant to test your understanding of the full story behind the and the . What they are NOT meant to do, however, is to see how fast you can translate. That is left to the syllabus readings, which you are expected to have read and translated throughout your time in class.

Sample MC Questions

Questions 1-5 refer to the following passage below:

Arma virumque canō, Trōiae quī prīmus ab ōrīs Ītaliam, fātō profugus, Lāvīniaque vēnit lītora, multum ille et terrīs iactātus et altō vī superum saevae memorem Iūnōnis ob īram; multa quoque et bellō passus, dum conderet urbem, inferretque deōs Latiō, genus unde Latīnum, Albānīque patrēs, atque altae moenia Rōmae. Mūsa, mihī causās memorā, quō nūmine laesō, quidve dolēns, rēgīna deum tot volvere cāsūs īnsīgnem pietāte virum, tot adīre labōrēs impulerit. Tantaene animīs caelestibus īrae?

, 1.1-11

  1. Translate vī superum of line 4. A) Of the power of the gods B) With the power of the gods C) The power of the gods D) By the power of the gods

  2. What is the scansion for Albānīque patrēs, atque altae? A) spondee-dactyl-spondee-spondee B) dactyl-spondee-spondee-spondee C) spondee-dactyl-dactyl-spondee D) dactyl-dactyl-dactyl-spondee

  3. Who is the passage about? A) Jupiter B) Aeneas C) Mars D) Ascanius

  4. What is the case of quo in line 8? A) Nominative B) Dative C) Ablative D) Genitive

  5. What figure of speech is Arma in the first line? A) Metonymy B) Chiasmus C) Enjambment D) Tmesis

Answers (Don't peek! 👀)

  1. D

  2. A

  3. B

  4. C

  5. A

Section 2: Free-Response Questions

This section consists of:

  • 2 (1 from and 1 from Virgil), which ask you to translate a passage as literally as possible

  • 1 "Long Essay Question," which asks you to compare 2 passages from the syllabus readings and compare their literary features

  • 2 "," which ask questions similar to the MCQs, but without answer choices.

Since the Short Answer Questions are almost exactly the same as the MCQs, strategies for those also apply here.

Strategies for the 🤨

These can be tough. After answering 50 MCQs, the first 2 questions you're faced with on the FRQ section are these two. However, there are a few tricks to make these questions a bit less daunting.

  • Don't be afraid to leave blanks.

    • It's perfectly fine if you can't translate a certain word/words in a sentence. Leave a space where you think the word/words should go, and come back to it. Sometimes the rest of the sentence will offer some clues as to what those words should be.

  • Don't stress about idiomatic translations.

    • It's especially important, on these , to focus more on producing a translation that accurately captures the grammar and meaning of the words, rather than the idiomatic meanings of certain phrases. For example, it is totally fine to say "to hold in memory" instead of "to remember" when translating "memoria tenere."

Strategies for the Long Essay Question 🖊️

The LEQ is by far the hardest question on the exam. But don't worry! It's definitely not as hard as it looks, and it's certainly not impossible. That being said, here are some strategies to break this essay down.

  • Make sure you're making connections between the passages while you're reading.

    • One of the most important parts of the LEQ is to not only analyze the passages separately, but to look at the two passages together.

  • You MUST use the Latin to support your point in the essay.

    • During your essay, you must use Latin quotes(either direct quotes or line numbers) from both passages, and you MUST either translate or paraphrase the Latin to show that you understand what is being said in the selections you use.

Sample Free Response Questions

1. Translate the following passage as literally as possible.

Interea magno misceri murmure caelum incipit, insequitur commixta grandine nimbus, et Tyrii comites passim et Troiana iuventus Dardaniusque nepos Veneris diversa per agros tecta metu petiere; ruunt de montibus amnes.

4.160-164

2. Translate the following passage as literally as possible.

Subductis navibus concilioque Gallorum Samarobrivae peracto, quod eo anno frumentum in Gallia propter siccitates angustius provenerat, coactus est aliter ac superioribus annis exercitum in hibernis collocare legionesque in plures civitates distribuere. Ex quibus unam in Morinos ducendam Gaio Favio legato dedit,

5.24 1-5

Questions 3-7 refer to the passage below.

sic fatus ualidis ingentem viribus hastam in latus inque feri curvam compagibus alvum contorsit. stetit illa tremens, uteroque recusso insonuere cavae gemitumque dedere cavernae. et, si fata deum, si mens non laeva fuisset, impulerat ferro Argolicas foedare latebras, Troiaque nunc staret, Primique arx alta maneres.

2.50-56

3. Who is the subject of Line 50?

4. According to line 53, what is ONE and ONLY ONE quality of the spear after it hits the horse?

5. Translate "si fata deum" (Line 54) in the context of the passage.

6. What sort of grammatical construction is "uteroque recusso" (Line 52)?

7. Who else warns the Trojans against the horse, but is ignored by the crowd?

Answers! (Don't peek) 👀

3. Laocoon 4. It trembles/the sound reverberates throughout the horse 5. If the gods' fate OR if the fate of the gods 6. Ablative Absolute 7. Cassandra
