Of these students, 54% earned purple, blue, red, or green ribbons. The battery of six examinations consisted of five Attic Greek exams (Introduction, Beginning, Intermediate, Prose, Tragedy) and a Homeric Greek exam (Odyssey). THE 2008 ACL/NJCL NATIONAL GREEK EXAMINATION The next National Greek Examination will be administered Monday-Saturday, 3-8 March 2008. Entrants will pay $4.00 for each examination (Foreign - $5.00 per exam) chosen from the battery. An entrant may not cross levels in Attic Greek (take both Beginning and Intermediate Attic) but s/he may take an Attic and a non-Attic examination (Intermediate Attic and Odyssey), so long as s/he pays $4.00 for each examination taken. In addition, only the Attic Prose exam may be taken for two years in a row. Applications will be accepted only from teachers; others should call Dr. Deb Davies before ordering and explain any special circumstances. Applications must be postmarked no later than Tuesday, 22 January 2008. The entry application from the teacher should include total payment. If there is no alternative and the NGE office must bill a school system, a handling fee of $10.00 will be added to the bill.
