I agree with this. They have so many many more passers than they can ever use, they don't really care if they miss one. I think they probably don't calibrate the grading machines very often, or slow their operation down to make sure every single test paper is fed into the machine properly (altho if they had dropped one and found it within a few minutes, they would probably shove it thru and correct their winners list). If the machine ate a mark-sense form or two, we would never hear about it.MarleysGh0st wrote:They do make mistakes. The day I got my Happy Card, they neglected to call my name among the passers and I knew I had aced that test. I was preparing to make a big scene that might have gotten me dragged off by security, when the AP came running out with the name of one more passer.clem21 wrote:Um..or maybe....I know, crazy idea this one...elwoodblues wrote:

You didn't pass?
Otoh, it's pretty easy for someone taking the test to make stupid mistakes and never realize it. It doesn't take more than one or two to make the difference.
Look at this way, Elwood. A very large factor all thru the process is luck. Lucky to be able to get to the audition city. Lucky to not have an accident on the way, Lucky to pass the test and lucky to have it graded properly. Lucky to get an interview with a producer who likes your looks, mannerisms, story, whatever. Lucky to have your phone handy when you get the call. Lucky not to have to work the day they want you. Lucky to make it to the studio. Lucky on the FF, and the questions you get in the HS.
I'm trying to be philosophical about this. If I was unlucky in a different part of the process than you, the end result is the same.
