The passage of Latin text for each standard will be narrative prose of approximately 130–150 words. It will be based on an authentic Latin text that will be modified appropriately for Curriculum Levels 5 and 6. For further explanation of linguistic and cultural content at these levels, refer to the Teaching and Learning Guide for Latin.
The assessment will be available to candidates in paper or digital format. Further information about digital external assessments can be found on the Digital Assessment: NCEA Online page.
