Neither Hungarian nor Finnish are Indo-European, I'm not sure about Estonian but if it is then it's included in the Balto-Slavic grouping. These are the official families except Indian and Iranian are sometimes Indo-Iranian, and I think Baltic and Slavic are rarely separate too.

I just made this quiz to help me study for a test and this is the way they're written on our paper, I looked it up on Wikipedia and it coincided with this so I'm pretty sure this is the official listing.

Baltic and Slavic are usually separate.. at least in the works that I've seen--I study Russian, Latvian and Lithuanian. Estonian is a Uralic language.
