WeSolve+ reads the whole document and writes the questions for you
Upload your PDF, photograph your notebook, or point the camera. WeSolve+ writes questions from that material, explains why each answer is right, reads the chapter back to you as a podcast, and remembers every item you missed until you own it.
The tool below is a small browser-only tool and it is not WeSolve+: paste a few lines and text rules turn them into cards on the spot. The real app, the one that uses AI, is behind the link above.
Unit 1 prose terms, from your own notes
This is a browser-only tool, and that is all it isIt splits the text you paste by rule, and nothing else. WeSolve+ is a different thing entirely: it reads your whole PDF with AI, writes the reasoning behind every question, speaks the chapter back to you, and remembers what you missed so it can return it.

This is a text splitter rather than a tutor. It turns pasted lines into cards by rule, and a gap in the paste is a gap in the deck.
Teacher's Choice is a structural fact, not a footnote
College Board sets the skills for this unit and leaves the texts open, which means two students sitting the same exam will have read different Latin. A commercial guide handles this by covering the named syllabus authors and skipping the rest, so the unit that trains your reading is the unit least served by published material. Building practice from your own passages is not a preference here; it is the only way to practise the actual text.
Prose reading is a word order problem before a vocabulary one
Latin puts the verb where the sentence wants it rather than where English expects it, and comprehension usually breaks at the clause boundary rather than at an unknown word. Latin syntax rewards reading to the end of the clause before deciding what governs what. Vocabulary lists help less than re-reading the same passage until its structure stops surprising you.
The translation task is graded literally
AP Latin asks for a literal translation, which is a narrower target than a good English sentence. Tense, number, case and mood each carry marks, so a fluent paraphrase that loses a subjunctive scores below a clumsier version that keeps it. Practising on your own passages means practising the exact constructions your teacher chose, which is where your marks will come from.
Sight reading is trained here even though it is tested later
Part of the exam presents Latin you have never seen. That skill is not built by memorising set passages; it is built by reading widely at a level slightly below your ceiling. Unit 1 is where the habit starts, and a teacher's choice of accessible prose is usually deliberate for exactly this reason.
What to photograph for Unit 1
The passages your teacher set, your marginal glosses and the grammar notes attached to them. Because those texts are not public, this is the one unit where uploading your own material is the whole method. Next: Unit 2, where the named syllabus of Pliny the Younger begins, and the upload path is photo to quiz.

What does AP Latin Unit 1 cover?
Teacher's Choice Latin prose: the transition from single sentences to longer continuous passages, with texts chosen by your teacher.
Why can't a study guide cover this unit?
Because the texts vary by classroom. A published guide covers the named syllabus authors and cannot list vocabulary for passages it does not know.
How literal should a translation be?
Literal enough that tense, number, case and mood survive. A fluent paraphrase that loses a subjunctive scores below a clumsier version that keeps it.
Does Unit 1 prepare sight reading?
Yes, indirectly. Sight passages are not built by memorising set texts but by reading widely just below your ceiling, and that habit starts here.
What should I upload for this unit?
The passages your teacher set, your marginal glosses and the grammar notes attached to them. They are not public, so nothing else covers them.
Is there an AP Latin Unit 1 practice test on this page?
Nothing pre written. The box above turns whatever Unit 1 material you paste into question and card pairs built only from those lines.
