When can you guys see the Brain Bus?

[mellytu74]

Everyone who took the test last night --

How soon do you have to wait to take the test again, in case the Brain Bus comes to your neck of the woods.

Or can you take the on-line test again soon?

Is there/what is the waiting period?

Forgive me ingorance in all this but, since I was on the show, I didn't pay any attention to the whys and wherefores of getting on the show.

Am I eligible to take the Online Test?

Online tests may be offered more than once in any 12-month period, but Adults may only take the online test once a year.
If you passed the online test and were invited to an "in person" interview, you will be in our active files for 18 months. If at the end of 18 months from the date of your in-person tryout, you have not been booked to appear on the show, you are eligible to take the online test again.
If you attended a Brain Bus event, passed the 10-question Brain Bus pre-test, and participated in an "in person" interview, you must wait 18 months from the date of the in-person tryout before you are eligible to take the online test. If you did not pass the 10-question pre-test, the regular online test rules apply.
Any attempt to take the Online test during your period of ineligibility could result in disqualification.

I don't see anything specifically about taking the Brain Bus test after taking the online test, but I believe the one year waiting period applies to that, too.

I am reading everyone's posts and I just feel terrible.

We have so many bright people and so many of them seem so down on themselves this a.m.

I was hoping it was much shorter -- like six months, so there could be summer Brain Bus tests.

Heck, many of us took the first online test in March 2006 and had to wait 22 months, because last year's test was scheduled in January 2007, which was before our 12 month ineligibility was up.

I really rather sit in the Hot Seat anyway.
