We're here to help you study for the National Latin Exam and prepare for Certamen!!!
We have an ever-growing question database and software that will help you quiz yourself.
Our questions are from old NLE's, our own work, and material from the Certamen Question Database.
Contact Karen Karppinen with web page issues (comments, suggestions, errors, future features to add)
and data issues that pertain to NLE or "missing questions" -- things that should be included here but aren't yet.
Contact Melissa Bishop with data issues pertaining to Certamen.
This site is very much under construction... If the quiz page blows up, it's because you've chosen a combination of category and level that has no questions yet (III/IV Poetry and V/VI are very empty!)
Future Features - Coming Soon!
- Create student logins (free, anonymous - just make up a username and password) and create functionality for students to track their progress - add buttons for "right" and "wrong" and track which questions they got right - don't requiz on those until they finish the whole category. Keep track of how many times they've completely cycled through each category.
- Create teacher logins, like Quia, so they can view their students' records and find out how they're doing.
Note: We do not own the rights to the National Latin Exam materials or the Certamen Question Database materials. You can access NLE materials HERE and the Certamen Question Database HERE.

Multas gratias to Jean Miller for sending me the 1978-1987 NLE's (and some other ones I was missing). Thank you!!!
I am not using the 2000-2006 NLE's, because we do those for homework as practice for the test!
