We have finalized the 2012 CLE List of terms. They are similar to last year’s lists, but several words have been removed, several added, and duplicates removed. Please remember that these lists are for study only, they are not to be used when taking the exam. The Introductory Level list is included in the Level I list. The Level II exam requires knowledge of the Level I list, and the Level III exam requires knowledge of the Levels I and II lists.

We hope you will consider participating in the Classical Literacy Exam this year. Registration forms must be postmarked by January 15th, 2012. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Awards: Gold, Silver, Bronze, Honorable Mention and recognition certificates will be awarded as well as medals for high placing exam scores.

Procedure: Teachers grade their own students’ exams and report results. Teachers must decide for themselves when a misspelling amounts to a mistake. Students are not allowed to use the lists or any other reference materials while taking the exam.

A file containing the tests and answer sheets will be emailed to teachers in time for them to make copies for their students. Teachers will likewise email their results using the supplied form.

Four levels of difficulty: Introductory and Levels I-III. Teachers decide which test provides the best challenge for each of their students. Level of Latin or grade in school need not correspond to the level of the CLE taken.

The Level II exam also requires knowledge of the Level I list, and the Level III exam requires knowledge of the Level I and II lists as well. All of the lists are posted on this site.
