Momling Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 My daughter got the Gold medal for 100% on the exam! :D Perhaps her success will inspire her to try the Latin exam next year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaissezFaire Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 My daughter got hers back today and got the silver (missed the gold by one point!) It's bittersweet though...her twin sister did not do so well and she studied very hard. :( Congratulations to your daughter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athena1277 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Congrats to your dd! What exactly is the National Mythology Exam? It sounds like something good to work towards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted April 28, 2011 Author Share Posted April 28, 2011 http://www.etclassics.org/nme.html The National Mythology Exam is a once-a-year exam that kids 3rd grade and up can take. It's run through the American Classical League's "Excellence through Classics". I think at third grade you only need to do the basic 30 questions (though my daughter also chose to take the additional 10 questions for older grades). There's also an Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid, African myth, American myth and Norse myth option. My daughter laughed at me when I said I was proud of her. She said "Of course I got 100%, I knew my answers were all correct. I was just waiting for my gold medal to arrive." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saille Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 LOL, I'm hoping this will spur my kids to take the Exploratory Latin Exam as well! My ds9 gold medaled. I'm very excited about it, b/c he hates tests. He took the 30, the 10 extra (Ancient Beginnings) and the Odyssey sub-test. When I glanced at it, I figured he'd miss the question about Hermes giving Odysseus moly, but the other answers were sort of silly, so process of elimination was possible. He's very proud. I know he loves the medal. Have any of you done the ELE? They sell so many supplemental prep materials that everything looks like a really big deal. Ds is through the first BBofLL. I'm wondering how he'd do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sebastian (a lady) Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 My daughter got the Gold medal for 100% on the exam! :D Perhaps her success will inspire her to try the Latin exam next year... We got a bronze and a silver at our house, which was quite satisfying, given how chaotic the year was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
