  • AP Latin – Guide for College Instructors 2012-14 Edition
    AP Latin – Guide for College Instructors 2012-14 Edition This guide is meant to help college instructors better understand incoming undergrads who took AP Latin in high school. Instructors and advisers can use this guide to set placements for incoming students. A large portion of this guide is devoted to promoting teaching strategies especially applicable to AP Latin students. Dygo Tosa, The University of Texas at Austin CollegeBoard and AP are registered trademarks of CollegeBoard. What is the AP Latin exam? High school students take the AP Latin exam, administered by CollegeBoard, at the end of an AP Latin course that prepares them to translate, identify grammar, and understand the context of specific passages from Latin literature. From 2009, the AP Latin Literature exam was dropped to focus only on selections from Vergil’s Aeneid. In 2013, passages from Caesar’s De Bello Gallico were added to the list of required readings. The exam also includes sight passages that requires students to demonstrate their working knowledge of the Latin language. The AP Latin exam is designed to encourage colleges and universities to award credit for upper- division college courses by assessing students on their knowledge and application of Latin grammar, translation, and literature. The 2013 exam is made up of two halves: multiple choice and free-response. The multiple choice section has questions on four readings: a syllabus passage from Vergil, a syllabus passage from Caesar, a sight passage from poetry, and a sight passage from prose. The free-response section has two translation sections from the syllabus readings (Vergil and Caesar), an analytical essay (looking at a common theme in two selected passages, likely one from Vergil and one from Caesar), and two short answer sections from the syllabus readings (Vergil and Caesar).
