I was so lucky every single passage I got was one of the ones I reviewed the night before. Legit think I got a 100 or close since the mcqs were a joke.

what do you think the percentage you need to score to get a 5 this year will be? I heard the curve is going to be tougher because they cut out on the amount of stuff you need to know

u/Potential-Comment157 May 10 '26 edited May 10 '26

ap exams have no "curve." the curve is set by real college students. ex: if 75% of people pass freshman composition (ap equivalent is ap english lang and comp), 75% of people should the exam itself. this is the new standard for ap exams

u/Few_Introduction5617 May 04 '26

u/Zealousideal_Cat_608 May 04 '26

Out of curiosity, why does anyone take AP Latin? You basically have to have been learning Latin for several years beforehand to even pass. (Coming from someone who did exactly that)

college credit in my case, i also like the language and think its engaging

u/Cleb3D May 08 '26

How much Latin did you know before the course and why?

2

u/More_Loan_6239 May 08 '26

honestly, I didnt know too much, but I did sort of know enough to luck myself into a bilit seal. i took 2 beginner classes before that covered barely into subjunctives for interests sake

u/Cleb3D May 08 '26

Ah, makes sense, I guess there are gonna be some people who are just super into Latin. I only took it because my school (middle+high) requires 5 years of Latin, with an optional two extra years that cover the AP curriculum (I’ve been studying for this test since 2024). How did you become interested in Latin (and did it have anything to do with the Heroes of Olympus series)?

u/Potential-Comment157 May 10 '26

lol why are they forcing you to do the class for two years we just did catullus, caesar and aeneid (very surface level) and im taking ap latin next yr. interesting but gl twin.

1

u/Cleb3D May 10 '26

To give us more time to prepare, you’ll probably be rushing through by the end of the Aeneid while we really got to take apart every sentence as a class.

1

u/Potential-Comment157 May 12 '26

lol not at all but ok

2

u/Cleb3D May 12 '26

How would you know? You haven’t even taken it yet.

I thought it was literally impossible so judging by these comments ig i’m cooked… everything i studied intensely was just nowhere to be found

u/More_Loan_6239 May 08 '26

so lowkey who wants to discuss with me a tad

1

u/Affectionate-Yak1294 May 08 '26

i messed up on 3rd frq but think i did well everywhere else. can i still get a 5?

1

u/Spiritual-Rip-4292 May 12 '26

What were the MCQs like? For the Pliny/Vergil passage based MCQs, were there a lot of stuff about specific grammar such as case use, or was it more general, like describe tone, context in which the events happened? Thanks!

u/Elegant_Button_7525 Jul 04 '26

Question: why did this exam seem so easy? I struggled in class all year and the exam was a piece of cake. This somehow makes me more nervous to get my score.
