J Test Info?

[VAdame]

I'm registered (so it says) but don't see any kind of log-in link. Does it just open up closer to the actual time?

My brother Tom is wondering the same thing. He might want to switch to tomorrow; wonder if he still can or is he locked in to tonight?? He may not be home by 9.

Log in process seems really different from prior years

And WTF is a "My Jeopardy DASHBOARD"???

PS - I gotta get a new picture; that one's from 2013! Daymon's a big kid now

(Fixed it. And found my Spirit Animal!)

The test link takes over the front screen before the test. A lot of good it did me; the stupid "My Profile" thingie kept rejecting my password, & wouldn't let me change it.

You get to the dashboard (to change your date, for instance) by clicking on your name after you've already gotten in via the Profile.

I got that info from ten96lt here, though the J! Complaint Answerers also wrote it to me today.

OK, got it. And took a practice test for whatever good that does!

I told Tom see if he can switch nights NOW before the test starts, otherwise he may not be able to.

I'm not seeing the link to the test yet. Oh, brother.

Oops: I now find out (by doing it) that you have to click on the screen that says "registration is closed".

Then you have to sign in again.

And once again it rejected me the 1st time, but as with my signing in today to the "My Profile" crap (every time I see "My" in front of something computer-related I think "My Little Pony" & want to throw things), the 2nd time worked.

None of this is helping me get into test-taking calmness mood.

It's up now for me

Did well. Now we wait.

Tom was successfully able to switch to tomorrow (he was at a late meeting tonight.) We will wait!

I feel good -- know of 2 that I missed and will probably find more, but most were pretty not-too-bad

Did well. Now we wait.

I feel much better about this test than most of the on-line versions I've taken in previous years. I tried a new approach, as my old method, "Go into a complete panic and get totally frazzled," was not productive. Each time the name of the category came up tonight, I said to myself, "Oh, I will know this!" Often, I did indeed. I have no idea how many I got right, but I totally blanked on two or three, and I believe -- before seeing the recap with answers -- that I missed fewer than ten all together.

We shall see.

I liked seeing the category name in bigger type first!

I got either 44 or 45 depending on whether they require you to list all three names for the three-named author; I just put Marquez.

I horribly drew a blank on mononucleosis.
