Frequently Asked Questions

What is the format of the official Aragón PAU Latin II exam?

The official PAU Latin II exam in Aragón is a 90-minute written examination in Spanish. It requires translating a classical Latin prose or poetry passage into Spanish, performing morphological and syntactic analysis of specific words/phrases, explaining the phonetic evolution of Latin terms into Spanish, and answering questions on Roman literature and history. These 100 multiple-choice questions serve as an English-language study adaptation to test factual and grammatical mastery.

What passing score is required on the PAU Latin II exam?

The exam is graded on a scale from 0 to 10 points. In the Access Phase (Fase de Acceso), a minimum score of 4.0 out of 10 is mandatory. This mark is combined with the student's 2nd Bachillerato GPA (60% Bachillerato + 40% PAU Access Phase) to calculate the overall university access score, which must equal or exceed 5.0.

Which Latin authors are featured on the Aragón PAU Latin II exam?

The translation and literary commentary sections typically draw from major Classical Latin authors such as Julius Caesar (De Bello Gallico), Marcus Tullius Cicero (Orations, Letters), Sallust, Livy, Virgil (Aeneid), Ovid (Metamorphoses), Catullus, Horace, and Martial.

How are phonetic evolution questions scored on the exam?

Phonetic evolution questions require students to trace Latin words step-by-step into Spanish by applying historical sound change laws, such as short vowel diphthongization (eĔ > ie, oŎ > ue), dropping of final -m, syncope of unstressed vowels, voicing of intervocalic stops (p>b, t>d, c>g), and palatalization of consonant groups (-ct- > -ch-, -li- > -j-).

What Roman historical and cultural topics related to Aragón are tested?

Questions may cover Roman urbanism and history in Hispania Citerior/Tarraconensis, specifically Aragonese Roman cities like Caesaraugusta (modern Zaragoza), Bilbilis (near Calatayud, home of the poet Martial), Osca (Huesca, site of Sertorius' Academy), and Turiaso (Tarazona), along with Roman monuments, roads, and municipal administration.

Are these practice questions identical to the official PAU test format?

No. Official PAU exams in Spain use open-ended translation and written analytical response formats in Spanish. The 100 questions in this question bank are an English-language multiple-choice adaptation designed to help bilingual students, IB candidates, and international learners master key grammatical, phonetic, literary, and historical concepts.
