meet me in paris Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 My kids both medaled on the National Mythology Exam this year. :) It was my 3rd grader's first attempt, and my 7th grader missed it by a single question last year. They really prepared for it and I'm super proud of them! :D happy mommy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momling Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Congratulations!!! My daughter enjoyed it too -- it was her first real 'exam' (involving bubbles). The medal is an extra cool bonus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann@thebeach Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Great job! But I have to admit, I don't know what the test is..... ;) Do tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meet me in paris Posted April 30, 2011 Author Share Posted April 30, 2011 thanks for the warm wishes. :) It's just an exam where students can show what they know about mythology. Here's the info for those of you that asked: http://www.etclassics.org/nme.html The National Mythology Exam 2011 will include the following: Grades 3-4 MUST take basic 30-item exam on Greek and Roman mythology and MAY choose to take any other sections Grade 5 MUST take basic 30-item exam PLUS 10 questions on the theme (Ancient Beginnings) and MAY choose to take any other sections Grades 6-9 MUST take basic 30-item exam PLUS 10 questions on the theme (Ancient Beginnings) and at least ONE 10-item literary sub-test of their choice on the following: Iliad Odyssey Aeneid Native American tales African tales Norse Mythology My younger daughter only took the basic 30-question test. My older one did the core test, the Ancient Beginnings, and 3 literary sub-tests. There's a lot more information on the site, and they're pretty good at giving out a bibliography that tells you what to be familiar with. It's a good intro to test taking, since they have to fill in a bubble sheet separate from the test booklet, and it's low-pressure. I don't want either of them to grow up with test anxiety. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
