Mythology Cum Laude Award Any student who receives a score over a 35 will receive a Cum Laude certificate award. To accommodate, the first 35 questions for myth have been made slightly easier than in years past and the final questions (45-60 + tiebreakers) have been made slightly harder to ensure that there is a gradient for placements 1-10. “Cum laude” awards will not count towards sweepstakes. Based on future feedback from this upcoming year, we may or may not keep this system or even expand to other tests.
