Thursday J! test

#1 Post by jarnon » Thu Jan 09, 2014 10:44 pm

I took the test for fun, but it wasn't fun at all; it was brutal. I got just 33 out of 50 right. I even missed some that I knew, like Pelosi.

agreed, brutal. names kept eluding me, just on the edge of my tongue, like O'Reilly, which came to me but I couldn't get typed in whole. don't know if they'll accept O'Rei...

They all seemed about the same to me, with results in the low 40s. YMMV. --Bob

I agree that Thursday's seemed toughest. My scores were 44/46/46, but out of those 14 misses, only three were ones I wouldn't have gotten right given enough time; all three were from Thursday's test.

It's harder to count, but I also felt like for me, Thursday's had fewer insta-gets and more questionable guesses that turned out to be right than the other nights.

I should have remembered and looked at the two prior tests. I had forgotten about it until I got a reminder email. I have 37 by my count - we'll see if I get a call - I certainly don't expect one.

I'm no where near as good at this as I was ten years ago when I went to a live audition, but never got a call.
