Good luck! wow you guys are all really really good! I'm sure latin 2005 will do heaps well :) Especially to yrtherenonames, if you came 3rd and got 94 i can't imagine wot 1st got!!! But yeah just a quick message to say best of luck to everyone on this wednesday's exam! Can you believe its...

hey guys, just out of curiosity what marks did you guys get in your trials? And like maybe what marks you're all looking to get in the hsc? I got 82 in my exam... it'll be interesting to see how we're all going =)

i dunno, it works for me!

remember these pages are pretty spaced out in terms of lines and stuff, so it would probably be about 1.5 normal A4 pages, which is decent in my opinion! i think a lot of the time, you just make up stylistic features to take up space!

wow! you're really lucky!!! gluck with your latin studying, with all that time you should ace it! I had ext today too, i thought it was ok but a bit different to previous years, ah well!

no i dont think so. The people who get 100 are those who came first in the state in the hsc exam, so i guess depending on the difficulty of the exam that could be as high as a 100 or low as a 93? but yeah definitely its just the rank.

I'm sure your latin will be great...i mean you have heaps of time, so it wouldnt make sense why not!!! Do you guys know your rankings yet? Or do you think anyone will get 100 this year in latin after last year?

i dunno how i do it i guess! If you read the core texts extensively and use your own general knowledge its fine. Like i said, i dont have a teacher so i have to make do with what i have

dumdidum, well as i look around, everyone is posting in like every forum except this one!!! why!??? anyways, just because i want to make it look like the latin forum is every bit as cool as any other, i thought i should ask how everyones study has been going? I guess we dont have to talk about...

Just out of curiosity, if we get an 7 or 8 mark question for commentary in the hsc how much would you guys all write? I would probably write about 2.5 hsc booklet papers depending on how much i knew about the passage.

I was thinking about doing the unseens first actually, i'd be interested to know what everyone else thinks about this too. I just tend to run out of time especially in the trials and seeing as though unseens are last, i never get to finish them or make them sound like normal english. I also...

hi guys, I know there have been lots of posts with websites or help with our vocabulary, but i just wanted to know whether people are actually going to go through the HSC prescribed lists and like learn every word? Or are we just going to hope that we know the vocab in the unseens? I'm not...

I do latin at the open high school so i don't have a teacher i see at all, but he mainly told us to use the commentary from the latin texts, like williams etc but we haven't actually been given notes specifically relating to these topic areas. Maybe other schools have though!

I have no idea about translations, but I agree about the meeting aeneas' dad section for commentary and maybe something about Elysium and Tartarus? For Cicero, again no clue about translations but seeing as there's so much to say about Clodia being a "mulier" I think that bit, and maybe...

hey to everyone! its been ages since i last posted but I thought i should wish all the 2005 latin people good luck in our hsc exam! How is everyone's preparation going? I myself am a bit tired of the hsc atm but i can't wait till its over! I was looking back at all my translations and its...

hey guys, well has everyone had or started having their trials yet? I just had mine for latin yesterday, so wishing everyone well!!!!

my teacher made us do both texts at once too. I must say it is really confusing, but good practise in that we have both texts to study for our half yearly, just like the hsc. It means we go heaps slow too...has anyone actually finished any of their prescribed texts? I'm at the open high and up...

there are only 5 people in my HSC class i think, although i don't know them. So we can only get a ranking out of 5. I'm really confused about what even happens. Like how come the marks don't matter? I know the ranks are used for the UAI but yeah shouldn't the mark that we get count coz our hsc...

hey, i was wondering whether any of you know if its a requirement to scale our latin raw marks for the internal assessment. I do latin via open high and i i'm pretty sure they're going to leave the marks as they stand but to me that sounds a bit wierd seeing as though all my other subjects are...

my assessment is basically the same format as the HSC but less being assessed coz i haven't finished translating the entire set texts yet. So thats basically seen text, grammar, unseens and a 10 mark question on the texts in general (an extra feature my teacher wanted to add). But i was thinking...
