J! test April 14, 15, 16

[BackInTex]

The confirmation email does not tell you the date and time of your test. Kind of goofy, if you asked me. I know the date and time, but I might 'forget' in a week or two. I wonder if the reminder email will tell me?

I don't recall needing to select a specific day/time when I signed up this time (and in previous years one didn't need to stick to a certain time). They will probably send the reminder the day before or morning of the first day of testing, with the direct link.

Anyhow, my confirmation *just* arrived - about 15-16 hours after I signed up.

I'm pretty sure I had to select one of the three choices (selected April 15th, 8:00PM CDT) and then it prompted me or then gave me the "Congrats you're registered" screen.

Going back to look....it looks like you're right. You don't actually select a date/time.

Mine did too- and you now no longer have to pick a date- you can take the test on any of those three days.

In the past, they split the tests up by region...they don't do that anymore.

IIRC in the past the confirmation email included a confirmation number that had to be entered before taking the test. There wasn't one this time. It may show up when the "reminder" email is sent out.

In years past, they would send you a reminder e-mail a day or so before the test to make sure you remembered it.

I usually would write down my password-test date to remind myself when to be in front of the computer.


On a semi-related subject-due to the lack of city selection in the Midwest, do you think they are going to revive the Brain Bus? It's about time they did.

I registered last night although it doesn't appear I got a confirmation in my email, wonder if I should do it again. I chose Boston for any in-person audition. I am currently in the WWTBAM contestant pool and got far in The Chase casting last season, but still no calls, so I may as well get my hopes up and have them dashed here too.

You can try registering again - if you use the same information you'll get a message on the registration screen indicating that the user name is not unique.

Gotta do this myself. I wonder if it was a glitch with the Boston button. Back in a few.

[gsabc]

I'll wait for the email, getting a not unique message when registering again, so they look to be slow.

Ditto here. I'm not unique, all evidence to the contrary. Still taping my watch for the confirmation.

I figured the user id and password were replacing the confirmation number. I don't remember having to do that before...

BTW, since when did Jeopardy become "America's Favorite Quiz Show®?"

J! has used the "America's Favorite Quiz Show" tagline for years.

Apparently there isn't a second favorite, since nobody watches WWTBAM much anymore.

And still no confirmation e-mail. Anyone else who signed up and hasn't got the e-mail?

I received the confirmation email the same day. Are you sure you submitted correctly? And, I'm with Jeemie, my recall is for shit.

I tried re-entering the data and got the "login information not unique" message. Maybe I did something stupid like mistyping my e-mail? Should I try creating another login username and password and see what happens? At least I've got a few days to figure this out.
