ULE Process
How it Works –
1. Purchase & Customize: Schools purchase the correct number of tests online. The head Latin teacher receives a link to customize the tests.
- He or she will need to have class rosters with the full name of each participating student, and will need to know how far students will have gotten by the test date.
Using our web app, the teacher selects curricula, books, and chapters, then has the option to click or unclick each grammar concept box to account for skipped chapters or added lessons. - If we don’t have your curriculum in our database yet, or you use your own, you will be able to self-select all your concepts.
- Our program customizes your test using the concepts that your students know.
2. Download the Study Guide: The teacher will receive access to a downloadable study guide in the app. This study guide will remind them what concepts they should review and what vocabulary students need to know.
3. Print and Take the Test: A PDF of each student’s test will be sent to a school administrator who prints them and delivers them to the classroom on the day of the test. The exam should generally be administered within the length of a normal class period for the class. Younger students will naturally have far fewer questions to answer, so they may not even need all of this time. Older students may need an entire class period to complete their exams. Schools are permitted to extend a class period to one hour for older students; however, under no circumstances may a student have more than one hour to complete the exam. As you plan your exam schedule, make sure to allot several minutes for reading the exam instructions to students and answering any questions.
4. Upload and Mail Completed Tests: Once students have taken the test, the teacher collects them, and the test administrator scans the tests by class to PDF and uploads them to our office. Paper tests are also sent in the mail, clearly separated by class, to ensure we have the physical copies in case something goes wrong electronically. Tests should be mailed to:
Universal Latin Exam
Institute for Classical Languages
P.O. Box 9741
Moscow, ID 83843
5. Get the Results: Results will be sent out by early May! Schools receive awards in time for end-of-the-year assemblies as well as results to help them understand their students’ performance.
