National Latin Exam

<p>Any other Latin scholars on this site? What did you think of the National Latin Exam? I took Latin III Prose and I'm pretty sure I got a perfect paper. People think I'm such a geek for loving Latin and Rome, but I figure I can't be the only one! And where better to find fellow geeks than on CC? So what did you think?</p>

<p>I took Latin V/VI and it wasn't that bad, aside from the fact that I didn't get to finish the last 10 problems....SCORE</p>

<p>I took V/VI too, and I thought it was really easy except for the one subjunctive question, about purpose or whatever. Anyway, I don't think I got a perfect score, but I got 4 gold medals so far, I wouldn't be surprised if this is a fifth.</p>

<p>I got a question about NLE. >P I took it last year as a freshman, and I got a silver medal for it. This year I can't take it because I transferred to a different highschool --;( parents can't afford to pay another tutionf or this highschool). This new high school I went doesn't have any Latin so I'm taking Spanish. Do you think I can take NLE anyway if the school doesn't have it? :/</p>

<p>You could probably make arrangements with a nearby high school, but it would have to be for next year.</p>

<p>Hhhmmm what do you mean make arrangements iwth a nearby high school? Like how do I do that? Does that me I have to go over and learn Latin II over there? Or could I self-teach myself on Latin II and pay for the exam and take it?</p>

<p>You'd have to self-study and pay for the exam yourself I'm guessing. Try <a href="http://www.nle.org%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.nle.org&lt;/a> for more information.</p>

<p>Thank you very much! ^_^</p>

<p>I'm from the netherlands, going to college in the US next year but that's not the point. I have latin too and I think it's great. in a few months I will have to take my nation exam, it's about Vergilius and Ovidius.. how does the national exam work in the us? we have to translate and answer questions about the grammar and the contents of "Dido et Aeneas" and "Metamorphosen"</p>

<p>Hey, I'm in Latin II, but I've missed the NLE two years running. Too bad, because I always do well on the practice tests. Latin is so much cooler than the other languages.</p>
