National Hellenic Civilization Exam (NHCE)

Best for: Students who want a broad ancient Greece knowledge exam that rewards real historical context, not just myth trivia. Day to day: Students study a defined timeline from Minoan and Mycenaean Greece through Alexander, then take a timed 50-question multiple choice exam that also includes a small Greek alphabet component. Common pitfalls: The content range is wide, so students should use the official study guide and create a simple timeline plus geography sheet instead of trying to memorize isolated facts.
