APLAT - Week 26 < Week 27 > Week 28
Monday
SALVETE! Happy NLE Week! We are taking the Advanced Latin Poetry Exam on Friday! It will be online, and I will provide your usernames and passwords through private chat messages on Friday morning.
Bottom line: this is a great break from the norm and great review! If you want to win an award, do what I tell you to do in class - that's it! If you want to ensure you earn a gold medal, and you want a Perfect Paper, then I've got a TON of extra resources (see below!).
Here we go!
(1) To get familiar with the types of myth/culture/history questions you'll see on the NLE, we are going to play a new game. Every question you'll have in the game appeared on an NLE at some point between 2011-2020. NOTE: on this year's exam, there won't be questions about authors and their works.
(2) We will take the full 2013 NLE. Award distribution: GOLD = 34-40, SILVER = 31-33, Magna cum laude = 28-30, cum laude = 26-27
(3) With the time we have left, we will look at the 2014 NLE together.
Award Distribution: GOLD = 35-40, SILVER = 32-34, Magna cum laude = 30-31, cum laude = 28-29
Extra Resources:
(1) Use the very helpful NLE Practice App: https://quiz.nle.org/ - be sure to select "Advanced Latin Poetry" and I would focus on a particular skill ("Language" or "Latin in use" or "Culture and Civilization") instead of the "Default Mix." You can also pick the number of questions, and I suggest choosing 20 (the max).
(2) On Buzz, you will find an "NLE Review" folder. Inside are the 1999-2011 NLEs as well as a few other quizzes targeting some traditionally difficult concepts. Take any and all of them. They are all optional. I have put due dates on them only so that they are easier to find.
