National Vocabulary Championship

<p>Anyone from CC take the qualifying test last month? I got an e-mail today saying I qualify to move on to regionals...definitely have NO idea how that happened. I omitted like half of them...but oh well. haha</p>

<p>oh cool there's a thread for this.</p>

<p>i did too, i omitted a few like rhadamanthine and tantivy.</p>

<p>i'm taking mine this saturday</p>

<p>same here, it's going to be intense...good luck!</p>

<p>uh oh i'm really nervous! i've been studying like crazy but if the regional test is anything like the online one i'm doomed.</p>

<p>what did you study from?</p>

<p>i used wordsmart genius edition mostly and some websites with vocabulary.</p>

<p>hey, what did everybody think of the regional? the essay bit was a surprise...i think we find out late december/early january? anyone heard anything?</p>

<p>yeah it was really hard. but it probably has to be so they can pick top 42. which form did you have? I had form U. it had words like yegg and stevedore on it.</p>

<p>the essay was cool. I really showed off there but they only use it for tiebreakers so oh well. i think the proctor said that winners will get a phone call 1/12</p>

<p>i thought the regional test was difficult, probably even more so than the online test. i think my test form was form X. i studied with SAT vocab cd's which really wasn't the best idea seeing as hardly any of the words on the test were remotely similar....but oh well. i heard we'll find out by 1/17. good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>oh, i had the same form as you...and i was all excited that i knew what yegg meant...and then that was about it. analogies were easy, though, but the synonyms weren't...good luck, and hey, at least we had made it this far!</p>

<p>Oh My God! The Guy Just Called And Told Me I'm Going To Nyc On March 5!!!!</p>

<p>This Is A Chance For 40k!!!</p>

<p>congratulations! so i guess they've called ppl now? i thought not 'til jan?</p>

<p>curious, did you guys have a ton of ppl at your regional? b/c i was the only one at mine and it was totally awkward...and i'm not exactly from the boonies...</p>

<p>i had a ton of people. 17 (yes, i counted) in all. (11 chinese and indian, 6 white)</p>

<p>yeah i was surprised about the call too. i got the verification stuff in the mail the next day and sent it today.</p>
