9/10

Classical education up to the age of 13, you see.

Having said that, I was crap at Latin. Got 33% in my Common Entrance exam.

10/10 - but then I did do A level latin.

I was hoping for something a bit more challenging

7/10 That's the product of a comprehensive education and no teaching of latin whatsoever.

Anyone who has studied latin and gets less than 7 should be formally shot

And I got it wrong too. But I think it was more than 33% right, so that's ok.

I actually meant "semper in excretia, solum profundum variat" which means (loosely) "always in the shit, it's just the depth that varies"
