I have mentioned
the US National Latin Examination in a few previous posts:
https://www.nle.org/
https://www.nle.org/previous-exams-and-answer-keys
When I was
learning the language, I used these examinations – which have levels clearly
indicated – as a way of:
[i] understanding progression
i.e. what does the NLE expect a student to know at a certain stage? I also
partly used these as a guide to structuring the posts in the group.
[ii] measuring your
own progress; what can you do and what do you need to review?
This post contains
all the language questions from the 2014 Level II examination; in the next post
– which is lengthy – what is expected is highlighted and I have included
some links to certain aspects which you may want to review.
