I just finished up my Latin III course and would like to continue taking Latin. I love the language and I’m a somewhat average translator. I heard that AP Latin Vergil is a very demanding class, more demanding than AP Calculus so I’m not sure if I should take it. It will be my senior year and I will be taking it along with AP Calc AB and AP Stats.

I planned on practicing sight translating this summer so that I would be able to handle the Aeneid. Would it be possible to prepare for AP Latin Vergil in 3 months? I realize we have to translate 1800+ lines and if I got a head start, would that put me a big advantage?
