Eta Sigma Phi Translation Contest Page

This page has pdfs of past Eta Sigma Phi translation exams.
DON'T BE INTIMIDATED!
These exams look hard, but everyone finds them hard,
so you're in the same boat as everyone else!
The person who wins is really the one who makes the fewest errors,
not the person who actually produces a polished translation.
Finally, in my opinion, the exams in the last few years
have been a more reasonably difficult than the earlier ones listed here.
