Introduction to Latin Exam
After all the exams were graded and the scores were compared, the NLE
determined which questions on each exam the majority of students answered
correctly (easiest questions) and which questions had the most incorrect
answers (hardiest questions). These are the questions which proved to be
the most challenging and the easiest on each of the levels of the 1997 National
Latin Exam.
