Book III ~ Assessment & certification

The Book III Course is divided into 8 Stages, or chapters, representing Stages 21 to 28 of the Cambridge Latin Course. Certificated assessment from the University of Cambridge is available at the end of Stages 22, 26 and 28. 

The assessments at the end of Stages 22 and 26 are based entirely on your understanding of the Latin language – you must translate a passage of Latin which is similar in difficulty to that of the stories in those Stages. The assessment at the end of Stage 28 evaluates your understanding of both the language and the civilisation elements of the course. You answer comprehension questions based on a passage of Latin similar in difficulty to that of the stories in Stage 28 and you are also tested on the cultural topics covered in the course.

The assessment test is emailed or posted to you by your e-tutor and we trust you to complete it in exam conditions. Your e-tutor will mark your script and we will send you a certificate if you pass. 

The Cambridge Latin Course leads to GCSE qualification and by the end of the Book III Course you will be about three quarters of the way to GCSE level. For further details of progression to GCSE, please see the Qualifications area of the website.
