Dmmetler Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Ours aren't here yet. I'm excited to see how my club kids did-I had a 5 yr old sit the exam this year :) 1 Quote
Kerileanne99 Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 Yay! Congratulations! My dd6 took the exam this year for the first time, but we haven't gotten her results yet. (Off to check the mail...) 1 Quote
idnib Posted April 20, 2016 Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Not yet, but I'm excited to hear you got them. I thought it would take until May! And big congrats! Edited April 20, 2016 by idnib 1 Quote
Dmmetler Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 I got a UPS shipping notice-ours should be here Friday...which is also the mythology club meeting. Wouldn't it be awesome if they arrive while the kids are here? 1 Quote
ScoutTN Posted April 21, 2016 Author Posted April 21, 2016 What is NME? Is it mythology? Yes, the National Mythology Exam. Quote

Wouldn't it be awesome if they arrive while the kids are here? That would be fun! You are not too far from here, I am surprised yours aren't there yet. No accounting for the way of UPS.

Dmmetler Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 That would be fun! You are not too far from here, I am surprised yours aren't there yet. No accounting for the way of UPS. I think that it depends on how much stuff they're shipping. I know it does for the test books. Since it's coming UPS ground, I'm hoping that means we have a lot of medals this year. This is probably the last year I'm giving the test-DD has declared herself "done", so I really hope for an awesome showing. 1 Quote
Doodlebug Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 We are in the deep south and received our results this morning!!! DS (4th grade) took the core and theme section, received gold, and is calling all the family right now to make sure they know. :) :) What a great experience! 4 Quote
Acorn Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 Ah, my son... Pretty typical, he (4th) did no preparation for core exam and is thrilled with bronze. I had somewhat hoped that he might have discovered the need to study for exams. 4 Quote
EmseB Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 We got our UPS notification, but we've since moved. I totally forgot about the results being mailed, and DS was really looking forward to seeing how he did. Hopefully the ups address change worked. 1 Quote
Dramorellis Posted April 21, 2016 Posted April 21, 2016 We received ours yesterday and DS got gold! He was so, so excited. This was an exercise in self confidence and following through with something and I'm so glad he saw the results of hard work. First thing he said was, "I'm so proud of myself. I've never won anything in my whole life". 6 Quote
Kerileanne99 Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Dd6 received hers today. She got a gold and was over the moon! 5 Quote
Dmmetler Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Still waiting for ours...come on, UPS. I got an Amazon package while the kids were over and they brought it around, so excited that it was the NME stuff. Unfortunately, it was Advantage 2 for the cats :( 1 Quote
aufan Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) Still waiting here too! Do they come UPS or USPS?? Edited April 22, 2016 by aufan Quote
Dmmetler Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 One 4th, one 5th, and one 6th grader all got gold, including DD who did ALL the subtests this year:). I also had a 6 yr old get 85%-which I think is pretty awesome! 6 Quote
kitten18 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 DDs is supposed to come Monday (we're on the west coast). Quote
Jamee Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 I was just thinking of this! I thought it'd still be early. Off to notify my friend who will receive the results. Quote
idnib Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 Got ours today and DS got a gold medal! He was so excited! I don't think I would have heard of this if not for these boards, so thank you! DD says she'll join in next year, after being hesitant this time. 5 Quote
RootAnn Posted April 27, 2016 Posted April 27, 2016 Wow. Lots of golds this year. We didn't have any golds in the group this year. (We usually have at least one.) We had three silver & three bronze medal winners. Several younger siblings tried for the first time this year and while none of them got high enough for a medal, they mostly didn't do too badly. I loved one little fellow who tried the Odyssey, Illiad, & Aenied subtests. (He got 8 out of 10 on the Odyssey test, but didn't do so hot on the others.) My two were the only two who scored perfectly on the core section. I have a dd who really, really, really wants a gold but it has eluded her by one question several years now! We had one Sophomore in high school who would have earned a silver, but once they get that old, it is Gold or nothing. Congrats to all the kids who earned a gold or other medal!! 3 Quote
