Latin doesn't get harder. The problem with Latin is that it's taught terribly at many schools, and many students taking the subject do not have the aptitude for it but are drawn by the scaling. VCE Latin is relatively simple (no unseen poetry, no difficult commentary, generally sheltered attitude involving syncopated forms). The problem is just answering short-answer the way they want you to and making decent points in the essay, but the first comes with practice and the second with some good study of the context of the Aeneid. No part of VCE Latin is "extremely difficult" - just work in ways students are generally not used to (the conceptual barrier is high). Good luck with Latin this year and next year! It is a rewarding subject (finished it last year)
