An Evaluation of the College Greek Exam

College Greek Exam

The College Greek Exam was initiated in 2009 and followed on the heels of the National Greek Exam, a test meant for high schoolers. The college exam was to fill the gap and be used after two semesters of college level teaching of Ancient Greek. See more on the history of the exam here:
