AP Latin is the most challenging and most rewarding class I have ever taken. It took me almost the entire year to develop a study technique that worked for me, and I wish I had known in September what I know now! What works for one person does not always work for another, but as you navigate the Aeneid and De Bella Gallico, try to do your translations on the weekends. I have a copy of Latin Only, and I break it up into reasonable chunks of 4-5 lines, or where there are natural punctuation breaks in the writing. Then, I have another copy broken up the same way, and then under each Latin line I have the English translation. I print and laminate these, and then begin memorizing. I have a permanent non-smear marker that I use to underline, circle and markup the text, and I have a family member "run lines" with me, or I quiz myself by typing out the translation. I read the summaries of the sections and chapters, and I go through the book notes to find patterns in the grammar for the detail questions. Thankfully, we do get to make test corrections to help with our grade, and most of my points lost are on details. If you have a technique that works for you, please email me to share! I will post on the blog! - Sloane
