<p>Did anyone just take it? I feel really confident. I think I got >40 of them right. The Booker T. question was Tuskegee, I think. John Brown for Harper's Ferry. Paine for Common Sense. Pearl for Steinbeck. Hamlet I think for Shakespeare. Hydrogen for pH. Wookie cookie for rhyme time. The photosynthesis was CO2, I'm sure. Joseph Smith for the Brigham Young one.</p>
<p>How do you take it?!! Is it paper-pencil or is like the real show? Trying out, that is…</p>
<p>i took it, but not feeling that confident haha</p>
<p>I took it and missed the easiest ones, it seems. I missed four of them: The CO2 one - total brain fart, I’m in AP Bio. I missed the Shakespeare one; I missed the Booker T. Washington one; I missed the ‘wookie cookie’ one. I think that’s all I missed, though. Oh, and if the answer to that one question wasn’t Munchkinland, I missed it too :P</p>
<p>Does anyone know or at least have a good estimate for when they will respond to say if you passed? It’s not like matters anyway, I don’t think I did great lol.</p>
<p>Foodlover001, it was online. You take it once a year. Sorry, you missed it.</p>
<p>iwaitz4u, me too omg. I missed the CO2 one (I’m really mad at myself), and I guessed on the Booker T. and the Shakespeare, and got them both right. I’m pretty sure that one was Oz, but don’t feel bad. I put Lilliput. I thought it was a trick question haha. I tallied my score, and it looks like I got 42/50. Not bad for me. Let’s hope I get a response.</p>
<p>sumbaya, doesn’t it say on the website sometime within the next year? The tournament is somewhat early in the year, so maybe the fall or something? I’m not sure, sorry.</p>
<p>Wow. Sounds like some of you did amazingly well! :-)</p>
<p>Was “Ugs” the answer to the 90’s boot question? (I didn’t have a clue - I looked it up online afterwards) – but if that WAS the answer, how in the world did you guys know that?</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m pretty sure it was Uggs. I saw late 90s, and I wasn’t sure. I thought, “90s? I thought they just started getting popular like 5 years ago…” But I didn’t have another guess so I took a shot in the dark. Turns out it worked out for me. Now all I can do is pray…</p>
<p>If it was uggs, I got it right. I took a shot in the dark – that was the only type of boot I knew.</p>
<p>I planned on taking it, but got screwed and ended up having to run at a track meet. But I got us 1 point for Varsity (I’m a freshman and no one expected anything) high jump 3rd place/long jump 4th place, so we’re still in competition for 1st place in Northern California! If I had taken the jeopardy test we would have lost the meet!</p>
<p>I just wanted to brag about that. How hard is the test? I’m going to try and take it next year.</p>
<p>The test really isn’t that bad; if you pay attention to popular culture and politics (i.e. read the newspaper, read magazines like TIME, watch CNN and/or E! News), you should do fine. When I took the test as a sophomore, I felt like I knew a good deal of the answers. I did get invited to a meeting of qualifiers, though I never ended up making it onto the show.</p>
<p>314159265, do you know what the chances are for the meeting, given that you qualify? There must have been thousands who passed, and I’m sure they don’t take all of them.</p>
<p>^Well, I remember that there were about 30-35 people at the LA regional meeting that I attended. The Jeopardy! reps that were there (super nice, by the way) were pretty straight-up about the fact that, at most, 4-5 people would be selected from the LA meetings (I believe there were 3). I don’t know what the standards are for you to be invited to one of these meetings, but the chances of you making it from there to the actual show are very low.</p>
<p>I felt pretty confident about it. I knew it was Oz (Wicked, thank you), and the Emma Stone one, and Paine, and Pearl, and Tuskegee. Those are the ones that stick out to me. It wasn’t too hard.</p>
<p>afdamron, I didn’t think it was hard, either. Maybe it was because I’ve gotten smarter, but it seems really easy compared to past years’.</p>
<p>I took the test last year as a sophomore, and heard back in early december telling me about the next step in LA. They said there that about seven to eight hundred of the thirty five thousand who took the online test go to the in person auditions, and out of those eight hundred, only a handful actually get to go on the show.
I felt much better about this test than the one from last year, but I definitely missed the one about who God delivered Jericho to, and the question about the poet that married Robert Browning.</p>
<p>When do you take the Jeopardy Teen test? How do you know when it is?</p>
<p>Foodlover001, sorry, you missed it. If you watch Jeopardy!, then usually around the end of the year, they’ll make commercials about the test. They only have one a year. Sorry, you’ll have to wait for next year.</p>
<p>Okay. I watch Jeopardy, but I wasn’t sure when the competition was. Thanks for the response.
Maybe someone should start a thread close to next year’s competition…</p>
<p>Sorry haha. I thought about it, but I didn’t think there’d be any interest. I didn’t think this thread would get any replies in the first place. So yeah, I’m sorry. I’ll be sure to get a thread up nice and early for next year.</p>
