Covers IB Latin SL teachers wanting an AI workflow for Paper-1-unseen-translation + Paper-2-prescribed-author + prescribed-text + Set-Texts + IA-research-based-investigation-grading, parents paying for IB-Latin-SL-prep ($300-$3000 for prep-books + $1000-$5000 for prep-courses + $2000-$8000 for private-tutors + JACT-Classic-Civilisation-enrollment + Cambridge-Latin-Course-enrollment + Oxford-Latin-Course-enrollment + Latin-GRAMMAR-enrollment + Wheelock-Latin-enrollment + Latin-for-Reading-enrollment + Jenney-Latin-enrollment + Ecce-Romani-enrollment + Cambridge-Latin-Textbook-enrollment), IB-World-Schools seeking IB-Latin-SL-internal-assessment-research-based-investigation-rubric alignment, and overseas IB-Diploma-candidates applying to Cambridge + Oxford + UCL + KCL + Durham + St-Andrews + Edinburgh + Exeter + Bristol + Manchester + Glasgow + Trinity-College-Dublin + Harvard + Yale + Princeton + Brown + Dartmouth + Cornell + Columbia + NYU + Georgetown + Notre-Dame + Berkeley + Stanford + Chicago + Penn + Williams + Amherst + Bowdoin + Middlebury + Pomona + Claremont-McKenna + Carleton + Macalester + Oberlin + Swarthmore + Bryn-Mawr + Haverford + Smith + Wellesley + Barnard + Radcliffe + Vassar + Reed + Grinnell admissions.

Hook: IB Latin SL is the IBO-standard pre-university Latin + classical-civilisation + Roman-history + classical-literature qualification for Year-12 + Year-13 candidates at IB-World-Schools targeting top-tier UK + US + EU + Swiss + Singaporean + Hong-Kong + Australian + New-Zealand universities. The prescribed-set-texts + 2-papers + Internal-Assessment-research-based-investigation + IB-Latin-SL-band-descriptors + Latin-grammar-mastery + Latin-syntax-mastery + Latin-vocabulary-mastery + Latin-translation-mastery + Latin-literary-analysis + Latin-verse-scansion + Latin-prose-style + Latin-derivation + English-Latin-derivatives + Romance-language-etymology define the canonical IB-Latin-SL-programme. The 2025 score distribution is selective: score-7 ~12-14 percent, score-6 ~24 percent, score-5 ~28 percent (the score-5+ cumulative rate 64-66 percent is the IB-Diploma + university-readiness benchmark). This playbook gives the 30-week IB Latin SL workflow.

Section 1 — Why IB Latin SL is the IBO-standard pre-university Latin + classical-civilisation + Roman-history + classical-literature qualification for top-tier UK + US + EU + Swiss + Singaporean + Hong-Kong + Australian + New-Zealand university admissions

IB Latin SL is the IBO-standard qualification for Year-12 + Year-13 candidates at IB-World-Schools targeting Cambridge + Oxford + UCL + KCL + Durham + St-Andrews + Edinburgh + Exeter + Bristol + Manchester + Glasgow + Trinity-College-Dublin + Harvard + Yale + Princeton + Brown + Dartmouth + Cornell + Columbia + NYU + Georgetown + Notre-Dame + Berkeley + Stanford + Chicago + Penn + Williams + Amherst + Bowdoin + Middlebury + Pomona + Claremont-McKenna + Carleton + Macalester + Oberlin + Swarthmore + Bryn-Mawr + Haverford + Smith + Wellesley + Barnard + Radcliffe + Vassar + Reed + Grinnell admissions. Unlike AP Latin (non-IB + non-IB-set-texts + non-IB-IA-research-based-investigation + non-IB-command-terms + non-IB-mark-bands + non-IB-prescribed-text + non-IB-prescribed-author), IB Latin SL integrates prescribed-set-texts + 2-papers + Internal-Assessment-research-based-investigation + IB-Latin-SL-band-descriptors + Latin-grammar-mastery + Latin-syntax-mastery + Latin-vocabulary-mastery + Latin-translation-mastery + Latin-literary-analysis + Latin-verse-scansion + Latin-prose-style + Latin-derivation + English-Latin-derivatives + Romance-language-etymology across all 2-papers + IA-research-based-investigation + prescribed-set-texts. The exam sits in May 2027 (Northern-Hemisphere-summer-sitting) + November 2026 (Southern-Hemisphere-summer-sitting). Score-7 = highest honours + first-year-undergraduate-Latin-credit at Cambridge + Oxford + UCL + KCL + Durham + St-Andrews + Edinburgh + Exeter + Bristol + Manchester + Glasgow + Trinity-College-Dublin + Harvard + Yale + Princeton + Brown + Dartmouth + Cornell + Columbia + NYU. Score-6 = strong-applicant benchmark. Score-5 = cohort-wide benchmark for Classics + Ancient-History + Classical-Studies + Classical-Civilisation + Philosophy + Theology + Law + Medicine + Bioethics + History + Literary-Studies + Linguistics + Translation + Comparative-Literature + Medieval-Studies + Renaissance-Studies admissions.
