    Latin score/rank?

    Hey, I think you would probably need 100 to top it personally. Most of the girls in my class last year got marks over 95, I'm not sure what the highest was but it would have been close. In extension, I got 49 in the assessment and 50 in the external and didnt get in the top list. A girl in my...

    latin - how do you study?

    Very true about the techniques Aeneas, but regarding the vocab list, I'm not sure if I agree, 2 other girls in my class and I sectioned it into three parts and all wrote out the meanings of each word. It was a pretty big waste of time for me, since I was so busy studying for everything else...

    How are you going?
