Sample Bavaria Abitur Latin (eA) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Bavaria Abitur Latin (eA) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In "Caesare duce, milites flumen transierunt", what is "Caesare duce"?
A.An ablative absolute expressing attendant circumstance (with Caesar as leader)
B.An ablative of agent with a/ab omitted
C.A dative of possession agreeing with milites
D.An accusative of extent modifying flumen
Explanation: "Caesare duce" is a classic ablative absolute: noun + noun (or participle) in the ablative, grammatically independent of the main clause. It frames the action: "with Caesar as commander / under Caesar's leadership".
2"Scio te verum dixisse." What construction is "te ... dixisse"?
A.Ablative absolute of completed action
B.Accusativus cum infinitivo (AcI) after a verb of knowing
C.Purpose clause with ut omitted
D.Relative clause of characteristic
Explanation: After scio (and other verbs of saying/thinking/perceiving), Latin uses AcI: subject of the reported content in the accusative (te), verb as infinitive (dixisse). German: "Ich weiß, dass du die Wahrheit gesagt hast."
3Which form is the gerundive (not the gerund) agreeing with a noun?
A.ars scribendi
B.liber legendus
C.legendo discimus
D.ad scribendum
Explanation: Liber legendus shows the gerundive (future passive participle) agreeing with liber: "a book that must/should be read". Ars scribendi and the -ndo forms without agreement are gerund uses.
4In "Hortor te ut venias", what mood and clause type is "venias"?
A.Indicative in a result clause
B.Subjunctive in a jussive noun clause (indirect command) after hortor
C.Infinitive of purpose after a verb of motion
D.Indicative in a causal clause
Explanation: Hortor belongs to the verbs of urging/asking that take ut/ne + subjunctive for the content of the command. Venias is present subjunctive in an indirect command.
5"Romae habitabat" — what case is "Romae" and what does it mean?
A.Locative: "in Rome"
B.Genitive of possession: "of Rome"
C.Dative of direction: "toward Rome"
D.Ablative of separation: "from Rome"
Explanation: City names (and small islands) use the locative without a preposition. Romae (looks like genitive singular of a 1st-declension name) means "in/at Rome".
6Which tense of the infinitive in AcI correctly reports a future action relative to the main verb?
A.Present infinitive (e.g., venire)
B.Perfect infinitive (e.g., venisse)
C.Future infinitive (e.g., venturum esse)
D.Present passive infinitive (e.g., veniri)
Explanation: In AcI, relative time is shown by infinitive tense: present = same time, perfect = earlier, future (venturum esse) = later than the main verb.
7In "Miles fortior quam hostis erat", what degree is "fortior"?
A.Positive degree
B.Comparative degree
C.Superlative degree
D.Absolute ablative form
Explanation: Fortior is the comparative of fortis ("braver/stronger"). The quam-phrase supplies the standard of comparison.
8"Cum Caesar venisset, hostes fugerunt." What kind of cum-clause is this?
A.Cum temporale with indicative
B.Cum historicum (narrativum) with pluperfect subjunctive
C.Cum causale with present indicative
D.Cum concessivum with future indicative
Explanation: When cum introduces a past narrative circumstance and the verb is subjunctive (here pluperfect venisset), it is cum historicum/narrativum: "When/after Caesar had arrived, the enemies fled."
9Identify the construction: "Urbs delenda est."
A.Gerundive of obligation (passive periphrastic)
B.Present active periphrastic
C.Perfect passive with omitted agent
D.Supine with est of purpose
Explanation: Delenda est is the gerundive + sum expressing necessity/obligation: "The city must be destroyed." This is the passive periphrastic conjugation.
10In "Timeo ne veniat", what does the ne-clause express?
A.Negative purpose: "so that he may not come"
B.Fear that something may happen: "I fear that he may come"
C.Negative indirect command after a verb of speaking
D.Result clause after a degree word
Explanation: After verbs of fearing (timeo, metuo, vereor), ne introduces the feared eventuality ("that ... may"), while ut introduces the feared non-occurrence. Timeo ne veniat = "I fear that he may come."

About the Bavaria Abitur Latin (eA) Exam

Latein as Leistungsfach in the Bavarian Abitur (Gymnasium, G9) is governed by LehrplanPLUS at erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau (Jahrgangsstufen 12/13, 5 hours/week). The eA curriculum covers: 12/1 "Philosophandum est" (Cicero; Lukrez, De rerum natura; Seneca, Epistulae morales), 12/2 "Difficile est saturam non scribere" (Catull; Horaz, Satiren; Petron, Satyrica), 13/1 "Imperium sine fine dedi" (Livius, Ab urbe condita; Vergil, Aeneis; Horaz, Ode 4,15), and 13/2 "Res publica res populi" (Cicero, De re publica and De officiis; Augustinus, De civitate Dei), alongside continuous vocabulary, grammar, and methodology work at greater depth and independence than gA. Per the ISB's illustrierende Prüfungsaufgaben, the written eA exam lasts 300 minutes and consists of Teil A (compulsory Übersetzung, ca. 170 Wörter) and Teil B (one chosen task — Prosa or Dichtung — with four hinführende Aufgaben, a 26-BE Interpretationsaufgabe, and three of five weiterführende Aufgaben). The 2026 cohort is the first of the new nine-year Gymnasium; written eA exams outside the core subjects sat on 13.05.2026. This free bank offers 100 original English MCQs for concept, grammar, style, and interpretation practice only; it is not an official translation, not a format simulation, and cannot replace German-language Übersetzung or extended interpretation answers.

Exam sponsor: Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Unterricht und Kultus (KM Bayern); curricula (LehrplanPLUS) and illustrierende Prüfungsaufgaben are published by the Staatsinstitut für Schulqualität und Bildungsforschung (ISB). Latin is not part of the IQB common task pools, so its tasks are Bavaria-specific. Leistungsfach Latein is 5-stündig and a mandatory written or oral Abitur subject.. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Teil B comprises I. four hinführende Aufgaben (4 BE each = 16 BE), II. an Interpretationsaufgabe in coherent prose (26 BE; content/structure, language/style, genre, literary-historical and historical-cultural placement are mandatory aspects), and III. weiterführende Aufgaben (3 of 5, 6 BE each = 18 BE). Teil B totals 60 BE; Teil A : Teil B is weighted 1 : 1.

Bavaria Abitur Latin (eA): Suggested Study Strategy

1Drill high-frequency constructions under time pressure — ablative absolute, AcI, gerund/gerundive, consecutio temporum — until you can name and render each into German in one pass; eA Teil A is longer (ca. 170 Wörter).
2Practice timed Teil A translations at eA length with a fixed routine: clause-structure analysis first, German formulation second, review of tenses and cases last.
3For Teil B, train claim → Latin evidence → function in context; the ISB credits Stilmittel only with their contextual function, never by name alone. Aim for the 26-BE Interpretationsaufgabe depth.
4Build one-page profiles for eA-specific authors: Lukrez (atomism, Epicurean physics), Livius (exempla, Praefatio program), Augustinus (civitas Dei vs. terrena), Horaz Satiren (ethical satire).
5Master operator vocabulary (nennen, beschreiben, analysieren, interpretieren, erörtern, beurteilen) and map each to Anforderungsbereiche I–III.
6Work through the ISB illustrierende Prüfungsaufgaben (eA) in full under 300 minutes; use this MCQ bank for targeted concept, style, and grammar drills only.
