European Baccalaureate Latin cheat sheet

Written examinations at the European Baccalaureate are held in June of s7 and are set and marked externally; the L1 written paper is compulsory for every candidate, while the L2 written paper is compulsory for candidates whose L2 is a language taken under the language regime (all candidates take a written examination in L2 unless formally exempted).

The L1 written examination consists of two parts: a language-and-literature paper (analysis/commentary of an unseen or studied text plus a composition or essay task) and, for candidates taking Latin, a separate Latin written paper; timing is set by the examination timetable and answers are written in the target language.

The L2 written examination tests reading comprehension, language awareness (grammar, lexis, register) and written production in the L2; it does not test literature in the same depth as L1 and is marked against level-specific criteria rather than native-speaker norms.

Mathematics is a compulsory written examination for all s7 candidates; the paper is set at the level of the Mathematics course followed (3, 5 or 7 periods per week), with the 5- and 7-period papers carrying greater weight and more demanding content than the 3-period paper.

Written papers are marked on a 0-100 scale and converted into the Baccalaureate weighting; the written examinations together account for a substantial share of the final mark, and a failing mark in a compulsory written examination can trigger the resit/second-session procedure.

For Latin specifically, the written paper tests translation of a prepared or unseen Latin passage into the language of the section, plus comprehension and literary/cultural commentary questions; grammatical accuracy and fidelity to the source text are weighted heavily.

Candidates answer in the language of the section for non-language subjects (Mathematics, Latin) unless the examination instructions state otherwise; Latin translation is normally rendered into L1 or the language of the section as specified on the paper.

Permitted materials are strictly regulated: dictionaries are allowed only where the subject instructions permit (typically for L1/L2 written papers), and calculators are permitted in Mathematics only in the model and under the conditions specified by the examination board.

Every candidate sits an oral examination in L1 and an oral examination in L2; the L2 oral may be replaced by an oral examination in a non-language subject taught through L2 (for example History or Geography in the L2), where the candidate's section offers that option.

The L1 oral examination is conducted by an internal examiner together with an external examiner; the candidate prepares a topic drawn by lot from the s7 L1 programme and defends it before the panel, typically after a short preparation period.

The L2 oral examination assesses interactive spoken competence: comprehension of the examiner's questions, fluency, accuracy, range of vocabulary and pronunciation; it is not a literature examination and is graded against the L2 level descriptors.

When the L2 oral is replaced by a subject taught through L2, the examination tests the content of that subject delivered in L2, and both subject knowledge and the quality of expression in L2 are assessed.

Oral examinations are marked out of 100 by the panel, with the internal and external examiners agreeing a single mark; the mark is then weighted according to the subject's period allocation in the Baccalaureate calculation.

The Latin oral (where taken as an optional or complementary examination) requires the candidate to read a Latin text aloud, translate and comment on it, and answer questions on grammar, metre and cultural context.

A candidate who fails an oral examination may be required to sit it again in the second session; the second-session oral is conducted under the same conditions and marked by a newly constituted panel.

The preliminary mark (note préliminaire / Vorläufige Note) is awarded by the subject teacher on the basis of the candidate's performance across s7 and is submitted before the written and oral examinations are sat.

It combines formative assessment (classwork, homework, participation, projects) and summative assessment (tests, term examinations, practical work) accumulated during the s7 year.

The preliminary mark is expressed on the 0-100 scale used throughout the Baccalaureate and is weighted according to the subject's period allocation (A-mark subjects with more weekly periods carry greater weight).

The preliminary mark counts towards the final Baccalaureate mark alongside the written and oral examination marks; for some subjects the preliminary mark carries a defined percentage of the final subject mark.

A preliminary mark below the pass threshold in a compulsory subject can affect progression and may require the candidate to sit the subject in the second session; the exact rules are set by the Baccalaureate regulations in force for the candidate's cohort.

For Latin, the preliminary mark reflects s7 performance in translation, comprehension, grammar and literary/cultural study, together with any internal assessments set by the Latin teacher during the year.

Teachers must be able to justify the preliminary mark against documented assessments; candidates and parents have the right to see the assessment record and to appeal through the school's internal procedures.

Each written paper is set by the European Schools' examination board and marked anonymously by external examiners where the regulations require it; internal examiners mark only under the board's supervision.

The L1 written paper typically combines a text-based task (commentary, analysis or essay) with a language task; the two parts are marked separately and combined into a single 0-100 mark.

The Mathematics written paper contains structured problems and short-answer items; method marks are awarded for correct reasoning even when the final answer is wrong, so working must be shown.

Latin written papers include a translation passage, a comprehension section and a commentary section; translation is marked for accuracy of meaning, grammar and appropriate style in the target language.

Written papers are graded against published assessment criteria; examiners apply the same criteria across sections to ensure comparability between language sections and schools.

The written examination timetable is published in advance; candidates must sit each paper at the scheduled time and no extra time is granted except under the official special-arrangements procedure.

Results of written examinations are combined with preliminary and oral marks to produce the final subject mark and the overall Baccalaureate percentage.

Oral examinations take place after the written examinations, before a panel composed of at least one internal and one external examiner; the panel agrees a single mark out of 100.

The candidate draws a topic at random from the s7 programme, is given a preparation period, and then presents and defends the topic in the examination language.

Assessment criteria for the L1 oral include command of content, structure of argument, use of evidence and quality of expression in the L1.

Assessment criteria for the L2 oral include comprehension, fluency, accuracy, range and pronunciation; examiners may ask follow-up questions to probe comprehension.

For a subject taught through L2, the panel assesses both subject content and the candidate's ability to explain and discuss it in L2; the mark reflects both dimensions.

The oral examination is recorded and the mark is documented; candidates may request feedback through the school after results are published.

Failure in an oral examination follows the same second-session rules as written examinations; the second-session oral is conducted under identical conditions.

The preliminary mark is calculated from assessments across the whole s7 year, not from a single test; teachers weight formative and summative evidence according to the school's assessment policy.

It is expressed on the 0-100 scale and converted into the Baccalaureate weighting using the subject's period allocation, so a 5-period subject contributes more than a 3-period subject.

The preliminary mark is submitted to the examination board before the written examinations begin and cannot be altered after submission except through the official correction procedure.

In subjects where the preliminary mark forms part of the final mark, the final subject mark is a weighted combination of preliminary, written and oral marks as defined by the Baccalaureate regulations.
