Last Time The Exam Changed
The AP Latin exam was changed in 2012, but you can still use books from the older tests if you also study other material on your own.
The Best AP Latin Books for 2018
You need to know the above two texts by heart, and understand different grammatical functions and poetic devices.
You also need to know some irregular verbs and nouns, all 5 declensions, and all 4 conjugations.
It might be necessary to reread the two pieces two, three, or even four times, but it’s worth it because if you understand the Latin in them, and you remember the books, you’re all set for the exam.
Self studying for the AP Latin exam is very tough and not recommended, but if you do decide to do it, here’s what you have to do.
