Instructions for National Latin Exam, 2013
Handling the exam prior to administering it
1. The exam will arrive by mail in a packet addressed to the “Proctor” of the exam.
2. Please ensure that the student doesn’t see the exam prior to its administration.
Exam Day Preparations:
Everyone must take the exam on the same day: Monday, March 11, 2013
Take the exam early in the day and mail the answer sheet the same day.
This is a National Latin Exam requirement.
The student must NOT have access to reference materials. The exam is strictly “closedbook”
and the integrity of the student, the proctor, and The Lukeion Project is at stake.
Once the exam begins, the proctor must remain in the room while the student takes the
exam, and must certify that the student has taken the exam fairly (sign and return the
“Proctor Statement” included at the end of this document)
The proctor must ensure that the time limit is strictly observed. The proctor may
inform the student when 5 minutes remain, if he/she so chooses.
1. Checklist prior to beginning:
The proctor should have the packet addressed to him/her
The proctor should have an accurate time piece for timing the exam
The proctor should have this instruction sheet printed out
The student MUST have several #2 pencils for filling out the answer sheet
The student should have an eraser that allows him/her to completely erase any answers
that he/she wishes to change
2. Open the packet. Inside you’ll find:
One copy of the quiz per student
One student answer sheet per student
A stiff piece of card-stock to prevent bending; please retain this and include it when
returning the test materials to The Lukeion Project
A return envelope (postage is not included)
Instructions for Administering the Exam:

sheet

Give the student the exam and have them check the top of page 1 to ensure that they
have received the correct exam
Allow the student to begin and mark the starting time. If you wish, you can give the
student a warning 5 minutes before the end of the timed portion:
a. Start time:
b. End time:
At the end of 40 minutes collect both the answer sheet and the exam sheet – both
must be returned to The Lukeion Project
Returning the exam:
1. Mail the answer sheet back and the exam to The Lukeion Project ON THE DAY THAT YOU
TAKE THE EXAM. If your exam does not arrive in time to be included in the package to the
