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.



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!)

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 NLE through last year's NLE, because we do those for homework as practice for the test!
