Especially when you erase two correct answers and make them incorrect.

Uh oh.

We usually think 25 right gets you an interview. Did you not get an interview with an AP?

Ouch!

If that's what happened, you've got two great advantages, Lee.

1) You're a local, so you have lots more chances to take the written test, with no great inconvenience to yourself.

2) The APs have no prejudice against auditioners who fail the written and try, try again.

I got 5 wrong and did not meet an AP. Being a gigantic WE, I have already signed up for another test (does anyone know if the questions are recycled?)

Dang! Well, part of the power of never revealing the passing score is the ability to tweak it up or down at any time.

They use several versions of the test. When you go again, it's possible you'll see the same one again, but don't count on it.

Did you get a rough count of how many people were in your session and how many passed? Did you meet autumn?

I'm sorry it didn't go better, Lee, but as Marley said, try again!

Sorry about that Lee. At least with this test, particularly at this time of year, it's very easy to retake.

Yes, they do reuse tests.

As christie said above, around here we believe that 25 typicallly gets you an interview. I know you believe that you got 5 wrong, but I've had a reasonable amount of experience with these sorts of tests, and I've found that nearly everybody has a very difficult time accurately estimating their exact score. Without a copy of the test in front of you, it's very easy to forget one of the questions or misremember your actual response.

In any event, good luck the next time around. I'll be there on the the 13th myself.

I have jotted down 27 of the 30 questions from memory, and have my 5 wrong. So, with that being said, it is completely possible that I blew one more.

It's very impressive that you could remember that many of the 30 questions. Maybe you did get 25 and they tweaked up the minimum passing score. As we said, we believe 25 is the passing score but no one here knows for sure.

Sorry to hear that, LL, but around here we abide by the philosophy "Never give up! Never surrender!" So give it a week or two and hit it again.

You have joined some very great people on a list of 'non-passers'.

Glad you have rescheduled.

Maybe you shouldn't be such a loudmouth......

Look at it as a good practice test. I'm glad you're close enough that going again won't be much of problem.

Good luck on your second try.

Can't help it.

Ok, in that case.......be LOUDER! (and only get 4 wrong)

Eh, not so much anymore.

I'm not traveling to any audition not local again. My boringness and uber-MAWGness just don't need the dashed hope again.

Good luck to LL, however.

I have no shot!

I'm a 27 year old handsome but overweight NYC public school teacher. I'm loud, arrogant, and abrasive.

27??? Then you're far from middle age and still in the demographically desirable age group.

And being loud, arrogant and abrasive in that stereotypical New Yorker way might just amuse the producers.

Come on, flybrick. Since the last time you auditioned, you've become a published author with expertise certified (or televised, anyway) by the History Channel. If I were an AP, I would consider that a highly desirable and contestant-worthy profession.

Furthermore, an elf once tried to hire you as a private pilot. Let's see the other wannabes beat that.

This sounds like a sure-fire set of characteristics to me. All you need is to hear your name called after the test. So, next time....

Well, if nothing else, you'll fit in well around here.

We'll assign you Appa as your Bored sponsor/trainer....

I don't deal well with the truly loud, arrogant, and abrasive.

Just look at my issues with Pea.

Is that what this one's for?

LL,
