Description: The five-week National Latin Exam preparatory course is a weekly online class for those students who will be taking the National Latin Exam in Spring 2021 and want to score well on this exam. The NLE not only includes skill-level appropriate Latin grammar, vocabulary, and syntax but also Roman culture and life, mythology, history, geography, oral Latin, derivatives, mottos, reading comprehension, etc. Students will study each subject(s) week by week via use of slideshows and class interaction as well as independent reading, study, and practice exams. Students need to take the exam that best reflects their current level of Latin study. If there are any questions as to which level of the NLE should be taken, students or parents should confer with either their Latin teacher or with Memoria Press.
The NLE renamed its exams this year. Updated levels:
See nle.org for more information.
Memoria Press Recommendations for Starting the NLE:
*These suggestions are for those beginning to take the National Latin Exam. If a student has previously taken an exam, they should continue on to the next level the following year. Contact us if you have concerns due to poor performance in previous years.
Dates: Students will register on their own to take the NLE, either online or proctored by an eligible party. Test administration dates are:
Required Materials: The appropriate NLE Guide by Memoria Press. Students taking NLE Level 3 will use the Level 2 Guide but will also need to purchase To Be A Roman. Students will also need a USB headset microphone (built-in microphones also work).
