shukriyya Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Our exam arrived this week for the Feb. 25th start date. We're super excited to participate in this, our first time :D So who else is taking the NME? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 Gulp, I've heard the Medusa exam is really hard. 50 questions and the average is 24 correct answers IIRC. I think we'll wait on that one a bit ;) Good luck on both of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 We are! We just got it yesterday and have done zilch to prepare lol. We are doing the perseus portion too. And we are taking the NLE. ACK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shukriyya Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 We haven't done too much to prepare either because I figured dc's ongoing love of mythology would be sufficient. Roger Lancelyn Green, d'Aulaires and others are fixtures around here. We'll do Perseus as well. Btw, there's a great production on Perseus here It's only about 25 minutes but pretty well done and is part of a series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NittanyJen Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 NME here for one kiddo, NLE (or is it the Latin Exploratory Exam?? I'm confused) for both. Mythology exam is here, Latin exam hasn't arrived yet. Nope, we haven't studied for either one beyond our normal curriculum! Probably Latin will be a disaster! Mythology will be fine-- he'll need to do Perseus and I'm guessing he'll choose Norse Mythology as his final section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I have two kiddos doing the NME (and three others from our local HS group). I had Greek Myths checked out of the library a week or two ago, but it went untouched until I pulled out the audiotapes dd#2 used to listen to all the time. Now, she's listening everyday while following along in the book. Oldest isn't paying any attention, so we'll see which one scores better. ;-) I moved my old boombox into dd#2's room so I wouldn't have to listen to d'Aulaire's tapes. They drive me batty! :leaving: This arrangement works for everyone. :hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhomemaker Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Dd is doing it for the first time this year. She is excited!! Should I be worried if I don't have the test yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 DD's taking it for the first time, along with the ELE. I'm not worried about the NME too much, but I am about the ELE-DD likes reading Latin, but hates memorizing, and has had trouble pulling up words out of context. I guess it's not the worst thing ever if she doesn't do well-maybe she'll learn that you actually have to study! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian (a lady) Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I have three taking the test. First time for one kid, fourth time for the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Count us in. This will be the first time for DS. He chose the African Tales for his subtest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto2Cs Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 First time here! Ds chose Norse myths as his additional subtest. We're both very excited, especially since the exam showed up in yesterday's mail! Not a ton of studying going on, because Greek mythology has been a passion of his for quite some time, so we're just refreshing our memories on a few things, and we're studying the Norse myths as we are less familiar with those.

shukriyya Posted February 15, 2013 Author Share Posted February 15, 2013 Well, I see we are in good company :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NittanyJen Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Still no Latin exam. And oh joy! I found that the picture files on the review disk they sent open just fine...but the vocabulary files crash Acrobat every time. Oh well, we homeschoolers don't believe in teaching to the test anyway, right? LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Our NME packet arrived, but not the Latin packet. I was kind of excited in October, but at this point, I hope we can just do a quick review and take the test. I think the cost of the CDs and paper/ink rankled me, especially given what could be learned from the sources versus what the company was providing. I should have used the money for BtB Spanish, which I really need right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilaclady Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 We are taking it too and it's our first year. We have been going over the materials a ni since Christmas break but this next three weeks are likely to be busy. I just want it done and over with.
