The 2018 Exam theme is

"Where have all the heroes gone?"

Testing dates are November 26 through December 14, 2018

Please note:

*The study guide is intended to help the student prepare for the exam.
*There may be questions on the exam that are not covered in the study guide but do fit within the parameters of the topic.
*Knowing more is always a good thing.
*If a question refers to a specific version of a Classical story, the question will cite the Greek/Roman author.

For teachers worried about losing class time to cover the exam's curriculum:

Teachers do not have to use class time to "teach" the exam's curriculum. Generally, students who love mythology are a special group of students who are willing to study if they are given a specific focus (aka "the study guide).

Some teachers find that holding one after-school time a week (or once every two weeks) to give students a safe space to study for the exam, either with other students or by themselves, gives them an opportunity to enjoy reading about and learning about a topic they love. If a teacher provides mythology books books (perhaps checked out from the library) and copies of the study guide, students will appreciate these efforts.
