I thought it was tougher than most. I got 39-42, depending on whether they count "pallette," "underground railr..." (ran out of time) and I'm not sure if I wrote Prince Edward or Prince Edward's Island.

I would've squeaked by as usual with 36/50

I didn't get to take the test as I was hosting trivia, hopefully on tomorrow night's test I will do at least as well.

I scored 42 if the answers on the J! board are correct.

I forgot this was going on this week, and was surprised registration was still open....

Gotta continue my eight year tradition of stinking up the joint...

Was worried, but it looks like I scored 38/50 tonight.

40 if the answers on JBoard are accurate.

And dammit, I know who wrote Tosca & Mme Butterfly, and ran out of time to erase Verdi and type Puccini! Grrrrr

The Wed. test was easier than Tuesday. If I had been playing and if I didn't screw up the spelling or something stupid like that and gotten the answers in on time, I would have had 43.

not for me it wasn't. Close, but not as "easy".

Like all the tests, these are heavy on Art & Lit, a weak area for me. I knew several of the ones on Tuesday, Wednesday it was really hard for me to guess some answers.

I agree with Wayne. For me, Tuesday was a few points easier than Wednesday. I'll try again tonight, with no pressure since I'm ineligible.

Thursday's test seemed easier to me.

I actually think I might have hit the cutoff last night despite blanking on two answers I should have known........ so yeah. This was the fluffiest cupcake J! test I've seen yet....

Do they dock you for spelling even on the online test?

Just curious.

Couldn't take any tests. Wah. Big road trip did not allow. Supposedly could have set aside the time but we were under very expensive one-way rental-return pressure. Had to unpack the humongous extended Ford Explorer, which was still 1 foot shorter than the Chevy Suburban my sister had planned packing measurements for before we could return it, of course. If you want a van rental, what we really needed, that is allowed to leave the NYC area, for the date she wasn't given until 2 months before, & then they switched it anyway, you have to reserve it 4 months before. A U-Haul truck, the 10-foot smallest, would have been too large; stuff would have rattled around. And neither of us wanted to drive one.

You cannot move stuff out of a co-op building in NYC without permission from building management; these are the "they" in "date they gave us", if anyone is wondering. You are monopolizing one of their 4 elevators for X amount of time.

So the only day I could have taken test was yesterday & I was just too pooped from the trip. I fell asleep before 11::00pm EDT instead. Would have had to take it on tablet, anyway.

We knew car rental companies never give you car you ask for. But we needed something the cargo-carrying size of Suburban. We emphasized that repeatedly when reserving vehicle & still they almost didn't give us extended-Explorer. Home office had said Suburban would be at pickup point at that date.

Jeemie: Like on show itself re Final J! Q, if they can understand what you mean & you are phonetically correct, the rules say they won't dock you. I think.

By the way, it is not fun to drive an extended-Explorer when stuff is blocking the rear-view mirror (my sister was my eyes re right-side mirror for whole trip) but it turns out that even when stuff is *not* blocking mirror you can't see small cars right behind you. You, & therefore rear-view mirror, are seated way too high.

Explorer had back-up camera, but only for when you were actually backing up. A vehicle that high off the ground needs rear-view camera, mounted at backup-camera level (license plate level). Dunno why a vehicle that otherwise-fancy didn't have thst.

Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!

I think I got 44. I haven't had time to check the J! board.
