Module 2: 17% of the A Level: Prose Composition or Comprehension This paper (1hr15min) provides a choice between translation of an English prose passage into Latin and comprehension questions on a Latin passage. Module 3: 25% of the A Level: Prose Literature This paper (2hr) consists of a variety of questions on the prose set texts authors which will most likely be Cicero and Tacitus: translation, short questions on the content, stylistic analysis and a broader essay question. Module 4: 25% of the A Level: Verse Literature This paper (2hr) follows the same pattern as module 3 with the set authors most probably being Catullus and Virgil ( Aeneid ).
