Yes, that's huge, and part of why I took Latin in high school. Also, I found that my knowledge of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas was very useful on the language sections as well; seriously, there were 3 words that I didn't quite know, but remembered them from G&S lyrics, so I worked the definitions out from context.
