1In the first declension noun 'puella', which vowel quantity and grammatical case distinction exists between the nominative singular and the ablative singular in classical Latin?
A.The nominative singular ends in long '-ā', whereas the ablative singular ends in short '-ă'
B.The nominative singular ends in short '-ă', whereas the ablative singular ends in long '-ā'
C.Both cases share the identical short vowel '-ă' with no distinction in metrical quantity
D.The ablative singular adds an invariant nasal consonant ending in '-am'
Explanation: In classical Latin first declension nouns, the nominative singular has a short final vowel ('puellă'), while the ablative singular possesses a long vowel ('puellā'). In poetry and scanned hexameters, this quantitative difference determines meter and elision.
2Which ending characterizes the nominative, vocative, and accusative plural of all Latin neuter nouns across both the second and third declensions (such as 'bella', 'exempla', and 'corpora')?
A.-i
B.-a
C.-es
D.-os
Explanation: A universal rule of Indo-European and Latin morphology is that all neuter nouns take the ending '-a' in the nominative, vocative, and accusative plural. For example, 'bellum' becomes 'bella', 'exemplum' becomes 'exempla', and 'corpus' becomes 'corpora'.
3What is the primary morphological criterion for distinguishing third declension consonant-stem nouns from i-stem nouns in the genitive plural?
A.Consonant stems end in '-ium' (e.g., 'regium'), whereas i-stems end in '-orum' (e.g., 'civiorum')
B.Consonant stems end in '-arum', whereas i-stems end in '-uum'
C.Both groups share the invariant ending '-ibus' in the genitive plural
D.Consonant stems end in '-um' (e.g., 'regum'), whereas i-stems end in '-ium' (e.g., 'civium')
Explanation: Third declension consonant stems (such as 'rex, regis' -> 'regum') take '-um' in the genitive plural. By contrast, pure and mixed i-stems (such as parisyllabics like 'civis, civis' -> 'civium', or monosyllables with double stem consonants like 'urbs, urbis' -> 'urbium') take '-ium'.
4Which combination of case endings uniquely identifies a third declension neuter i-stem noun (such as 'mare, maris' or 'animal, animalis') in the ablative singular and nominative plural?
A.Ablative singular in '-e' and nominative plural in '-a'
B.Ablative singular in '-i' and nominative plural in '-ia'
C.Ablative singular in '-o' and nominative plural in '-ora'
D.Ablative singular in '-u' and nominative plural in '-ua'
Explanation: Pure third declension neuter nouns ending in '-e', '-al', or '-ar' (like 'mare' and 'animal') exhibit characteristic i-stem endings: an ablative singular in '-i' ('mari', 'animali') and a neuter nominative/accusative plural in '-ia' ('maria', 'animalia').
5What is the correct parsing of the Latin form 'cornibus' from the fourth declension neuter noun 'cornu, cornus'?
A.Genitive singular or nominative plural
B.Accusative plural or vocative singular
C.Dative or ablative plural
D.Nominative or accusative singular
Explanation: In the fourth declension, the dative and ablative plural suffix is '-ibus' (or archaically '-ubus' in select words like 'tribubus'). Therefore, 'cornibus' functions either as a dative plural ('to/for the horns') or ablative plural ('by/with/from the horns').
6In fifth declension nouns, how do 'dies' and 'res' form their genitive and dative singular?
A.'diei' and 'rei' both ending in '-is'
B.'dii' and 'rii' following the second declension
C.'diae' and 'reae' following the first declension
D.'diei' (with long '-ēī') and 'rei' (with short '-ĕī')
Explanation: Fifth declension nouns form the genitive and dative singular in '-ei'. When a vowel precedes the ending, the 'e' is long (as in 'di-ē-ī'); when a consonant precedes, the 'e' is short (as in 'r-ĕ-ī' and 'fĭd-ĕ-ī').
7What is the correct vocative singular form of the Roman proper name 'Tullius' and the common noun 'filius'?
A.'Tullie' and 'filie'
B.'Tulli' and 'fili'
C.'Tullio' and 'filio'
D.'Tullis' and 'filis'
Explanation: Second declension proper nouns ending in '-ius' (such as 'Tullius', 'Vergilius') and the common noun 'filius' contract the expected vocative '-ie' into a single long '-i', yielding 'Tulli' and 'fili' (as in 'mi fili').
8Which of the following complete case paradigms correctly represents the singular and plural forms of the irregular third declension noun 'vis' (force, power)?
A.Singular: vis, viris, viri; Plural: viri, virorum, viris
B.Singular: vis, vis, vi; Plural: vis, visibus, vium
C.Singular: vis, vim, vi; Plural: vires, virium, viribus
D.Singular: vis, vitem, vite; Plural: vites, vitium, vitibus
Explanation: 'Vis' is a defective irregular noun in the singular (nom. 'vis', acc. 'vim', abl. 'vi'; genitive and dative singular are exceedingly rare or supplied by 'roboris'). In the plural, it derives from the stem 'viri-' to form 'vires, virium, viribus'. This must not be confused with 'vir, viri' (man).
9In the phrase 'Marcus Romae habitat, sed ruri laborat', which grammatical case is represented by the forms 'Romae' and 'ruri'?
A.Genitive
B.Dative
C.Ablative
D.Locative
Explanation: The locative case denotes location without a preposition for names of towns, small islands, and nouns such as 'domus' ('domi'), 'rus' ('ruri'), and 'humus' ('humi'). For first declension singular city names, the locative ending is '-ae' ('Romae' = in Rome).
10The feminine noun 'domus' is a famous heteroclite noun in Latin. Which set of forms correctly displays its alternate second and fourth declension case endings?
A.Ablative singular 'domi', accusative plural 'domibus', genitive plural 'domium'
B.Ablative singular 'domo', accusative plural 'domos', genitive plural 'domuum' or 'domorum'
C.Ablative singular 'doma', accusative plural 'domas', genitive plural 'domarum'
D.Ablative singular 'dome', accusative plural 'domes', genitive plural 'domum'
Explanation: 'Domus' alternates between fourth and second declension inflections. It uses fourth declension endings for the nominative and genitive singular ('domus'), but regularly adopts second declension endings for the ablative singular ('domo'), accusative plural ('domos', though 'domus' also occurs), and genitive plural ('domorum' alongside 'domuum').

Latim A (Prova 732): Suggested Study Strategy

1Master the distinguishing case endings for each declension, especially ambiguous endings such as -ae (genitive/dative singular or nominative plural in 1st declension) and -is (dative/ablative plural in 1st/2nd declensions or genitive singular/accusative plural in 3rd declension).
2Memorize the principal parts of canonical verbs to quickly identify stems for the infectum (present, imperfect, future) and perfectum (perfect, pluperfect, future perfect).
3Practice parsing the ablative absolute by identifying the noun/pronoun in the ablative case coupled with a participle, and translate it with temporal, causal, or concessive clauses.
4Recognize the Accusative and Infinitive (AcI) construction after verbs of saying (dicendi), thinking (sentiendi), and feeling, ensuring the subject is translated as an English subjective clause.
5Review the sequence of tenses (consecutio temporum) for subordinate subjunctive clauses introduced by ut, ne, and cum historicum.
6Familiarize yourself with the key historical eras, social hierarchies (patricians vs. plebeians, pater familias), and canonical texts of Cicero, Caesar, Livy, and Virgil covered in the secondary syllabus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who prepares and grades the exam?

Since the 2025 reorganization (Decreto-Lei n.º 105/2025), exam papers are prepared by EduQA — Instituto de Educação, Qualidade e Avaliação, I. P., which succeeded IAVE. The exams are run in schools and graded under the Júri Nacional de Exames (JNE).

How is the exam structured?

Written exam on the Aprendizagens Essenciais of Latim A for the 10th and 11th grades: translation and analysis of Latin texts, morphology and syntax, Roman culture and the Latin heritage in Portuguese (etymology), including a short version from Portuguese into Latin.

Is there a pass mark?

No single pass mark: the exam is scored 0–200. For internal students it counts for 25% of the final subject grade (CFD = 0.75 × internal grade + 0.25 × exam); for external candidates the exam grade is the subject grade, so at least 95/200 is needed. When used as an admission exam (prova de ingresso), each higher-education institution sets the minimum, never below 95/200.

How much does it cost?

Free for students in compulsory education who register on time and for internal students in the 1st phase; €3 per exam for 2nd-phase grade improvement, for external candidates (autopropostos) outside compulsory education and for external grade improvement; late registration costs €25 plus €3 per exam (JNE/DGES Guia Geral de Exames 2026).

Can I use a dictionary?

Yes. According to the 2026 Informação-Prova materials, Latin–Portuguese/Portuguese–Latin dictionaries may be used; the paper includes translation from Latin and a short version into Latin.
