Candidates, in preparation, may save time by noticing that one Greek and one Latin book only are required. Translations only are required; no questions being asked on the context or the grammar of the passages in the set Books. Greek and Latin Grammar and Latin Prose should be given special attention for the separate papers set on those subjects.[35]
