This six-week Exploratory Latin Exam preparatory course is a 1.5 hour weekly online class for students who will be taking the Exploratory Latin Exam on March 5th/6th. The Exploratory Latin Exam is a contest aimed at students of Latin in grades 3 and above who are beginning their Latin learning and not yet taking the National Latin Exam.

This class will be a great help for any student wanting to score well as students will need additional study outside of their Latin course to master the extended Latin vocabulary not found in their Latin course. All First and Second Form Latin students are invited to take this course even if they are not taking the exam. 

Study materials will be provided by the Instructor.

The material for this course includes the universal and extended Latin vocabulary sets and the thematic syllabus, Geography of the Ancient Mediterranean: 

Universal Sets of Latin Vocabulary: Animals, Body Parts, Cardinal Numerals, Colors, Commands, Family, Oral Latin Essentials, Mottoes and Expressions, Roman Numerals (fluency with numerals I-X), School, Derivatives

Extended Sets of Latin Vocabulary: Art and Architecture, History and Geography, Mythology (Roman names only), Nature, Ordinal Numerals, Roman Life (clothing, housing, meals), Roman Numerals (fluency with numerals I-C is expected), Time, Roman Entertainment

Recommended for grade 5+ students currently enrolled in First Form Latin  or Second Form Latin. 3rd and 4th grade students wishing to answer the last 20 questions of the exam may also take this course.
