National Hellenic Civilzation Exam

The National Hellenic Civilization Exam, or the NHCE, tests the history, culture, literature, and alphabet of Hellenic (and a little pre-Hellenic) Greece. Like the previous tests, it is 50 questions in 45 minutes but is administered in the early Spring. You can see more here: NHCE

National Latin Vovabulary Exam

The NLVE, also known as the National Latin Vocabulary Exam, is, like the rest, 45 minutes long but it holds 70 four choice questions examining all dimensions of Latin vocabulary except grammatical usage and derivatives. The divisions in this exam are not by grade, but by Latin level: ½, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5+. To discover more, look here: NLVE
