Regulations for examinations

Classical Tripos, Parts Ia and Ib

(Statutes and Ordinances, pp. 304 and 305)

With effect from 1 October 2015

The General Board have, on the recommendation of the Faculty Board of Classics, approved amendments to the regulations for the Tripos so as to debar candidates who have previously taken the Preliminary Examination to Part Ia of the Classical Tripos from offering the more elementary form of the Latin language paper in Part Ia, and also in Part Ib. Paper 4, ‘Alternative Latin language and texts’ in Part Ia, and Paper 4, ‘Alternative passages for translation from Latin authors’ in Part Ib, may no longer be offered by such candidates.

Part Ia

Regulation 14.

By amending the second sentence of the regulation so as to read:

Paper 2 is intended for candidates who had little or no knowledge of Greek before entry to the University, and Paper 4 is intended for candidates who had little or no knowledge of Latin before doing so and who have not previously taken the Preliminary Examination to Part Ia.

Part Ib

Regulation 18.

By introducing a second sentence to the regulation so as to read:

Paper 2 is intended for candidates who had little or no knowledge of Greek before entry to the University, and Paper 4 is intended for candidates who had little or no knowledge of Latin before doing so and who have not previously taken the Preliminary Examination to Part Ia.

The Faculty Board of Classics are satisfied that no candidate’s preparation for the examination in 2016 will be adversely affected.
