The Exploratory Latin Exam

The Exploratory Latin Exam 2011-2012 will include the following:

The Classical World has always been a source of amazement
and inspiration for students at the elementary school level. In
order to recognize and celebrate this interest, ETC
(Excellence Through Classics for Elementary and Middle
School Levels) sponsors the Exploratory Latin Exam, an
age-appropriate national evaluation. ETC is making all
attempts to acknowledge the diversity of the existing
exploratory programs throughout the country and to focus
upon common elements rather than to mandate course
content.
The Exploratory Latin Exam will focus upon the topics listed below. While grammatical
forms are not tested, students should be able to recognize vocabulary in grammatical
context. This exam is appropriate for students in Grades 3 through 6, and is not
designed for students qualified to take the National Latin Exam.
Thirty multiple-choice questions over the following topics. Please see the
syllabus for more information.
Students in Grades 5 and 6 must answer ten additional questions from the general
syllabus plus ten questions based upon the theme "Seven Wonders of the Ancient
World." See the Syllabus Addendum for more information of this special topic.
Exams may be administered at any point between October 1, 2011 and April 1, 2012.
Teachers must return completed exams within one week after each administration.
Results from all exams, regardless of administration date, will be sent in May 2012.
All participants will receive ribbons, high scores will receive certificates, and perfect
scores will earn medallions.
A syllabus will be mailed to you upon receipt of your registration.
To register for the Exploratory Latin Exam, use the current ETC Flyer / Order Form.
If you have more questions, contact the Exploratory Latin Exam Chair, Courtney Holman.
Dear Teachers, This is the 10th year of the Exploratory Latin Exam! In the past we
have allowed teachers to recycle old exams for practice, but beginning this year we
will be cycling old exam questions. We ask that you discard your old exams and use
the sample exam on the website for practice with your students. Maximas gratias!
The National Association of Secondary School Principals has
placed this program on the NASSP National Advisory List of
Contests and Activities for 2010-2011
