Thank you very much! I'll need all the luck I can get.

I'll report back by tomorrow as to what happened. I'm particularly interested in seeing if the taping component has become a routine part of the process.

I was in the 5:00 group this evening. Passed the test. Had the interview which seemed to go fairly well but would still say I'm unlikely to get the happy card. I did not get taped.

The AP running the show mentioned the taping but made it very clear that getting taped didn't necessarily mean a happy card (though he didn't call it that) but not getting taped didn't necessarily mean not getting a happy card. Maybe that's even the truth. I'm not sure.

I did my best to be totally upbeat during the interview. I hope it was enough to carry the day. For now, I'll be optimistic because there's no point in not being so.

The AP also talked about Famous Names Week, College Week and Pay for Your Wedding Week.

All in all, I enjoyed the process as I usually do and I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Famous Names Week, Gracie???

In any event, best of luck to you, slam.

Thanks for all the good luck wishes.

I just wanted to add an example of why one's score on the test is often lower than one thinks it is. There was one question on my test which gave the first line of the show-stopping song from a very well-known Broadway musical and asked you to pick the name of the musical. Unless Broadway musicals is a very weak category for someone, they should get this easily. I definitely knew it having seen the show twice. In my mind, I knew the name of the correct response. When picking my answer though, I had a brain glitch and bubbled in a different one which happened to begin with the same first two letters as the correct one. I caught this when I went back to check my answers. But if I hadn't gone back, I would have come out of the test thinking that was one question that I had certainly gotten right.

Many people come out of the test saying I missed x clues and got everything else. I've done it many times myself. All I'm saying is that without the test in front of you to review, it's very hard to be sure of what x is.
