FAQ:

• Why would I want to take the National Mythology Exam?
  • This is a standardized proctored exam. That being said, it is a low-key environment on a fun subject matter.  If you’d like to practice your test-taking skills, love mythology, are trying to build your academic resume, or just love a healthy challenge this could be for you!
• Is that the only date available?
  • We are given a short window that the test must be administered, and this is the only Saturday during that window.
• We’re homeschoolers, what grade should I sign up for?
  • You don’t need that information until the day of the test. I would recommend going by age rather than academic level as it is assigned to grade, but it is up to you.  You can always go up a level, but not down.
• Are there study materials, or practice exams?
  • Yes, you can find all study recommendations along with sample exam questions at etclassics.org/National-Mythology -Exam
• Do I “win” anything?
  • Every participant will receive a certificate, and top scorers will receive medals (Gold, Silver, and Bronze) based on their scores. It is possible for every participant to earn a Gold medal, resulting from a score of 100%
• What are the ramifications if I don’t do well?
  • There are none, you still get a certificate and the experience of a proctored exam.
