I think you're right. I just today took the anytime test and I'm pretty sure my score was 44/50, up slightly from my usual 43/50. I'll let you know if I get an invitation to the next round, but I'm not holding my breath.triviawayne wrote: ↑Sun Jun 26, 2022 8:27 pm I am of the belief not everyone who passes the anytime test gets a proctored test.

Re: 2022 Audition Questions
I have a Zoom test invite for tomorrow.
My question: even though I know this is distinct from the audition stage, will we be asked to talk about ourselves at all? Or do we just quietly take the test and that's it?

Re: 2022 Audition Questions
last year when I had mine, it was almost entirely about the test. At this point they just want to narrow their field.
but be prepared for anything, they might just change things up at any time.

You'll just take the test, unless you run into problems that require you to ask questions of the moderator.

Re: 2022 Audition Questions
I was also on today's Zoom test invite, after getting an email yesterday for my JeoparDAY! test. (I also took the Anytime Test the night before that, but I'm pretty sure the JeoparDAY! one was the only one I passed.) I'd say I did well on the testing part, at least.

Re: 2022 Audition Questions
I've been holding off on taking the anytime test again because I've enjoyed my in-person auditions/tests and I've been hoping they would resume sometime in the not too distant future. And I really dislike zoom. Is there any reason to think the audition tours might actually come back? I think Maggie and the gang used to enjoy them, maybe the new gang would like some road trips. Or maybe not.
It's been a while but I seem to recall being told that the results of the 50 question test at the audition really didn't matter as long as your result was not so bad as to raise doubt about your unobserved test. So, for example, a 33 on the audition test when you had, say, a 39 or a 43 on the on-line test would not be disqualifying. I'm wondering if this is still the case. But I guess they'll probably do what they will with the process and we'll never know for sure.

Re: 2022 Audition Questions
I had an in-person audition on Monday. They are doing live auditions again. I'm in the L.A. area and it was locals. I have no info on if there will be live auditions for other locations. It was very fun so I can understand your point. I got a small Jeopardy! labeled baggie with some unlabeled headphones. No pen. Surprisingly no lawyers or teachers. Several Hollywood writers.mrparadise wrote: ↑Wed Jun 29, 2022 9:22 pm I've been holding off on taking the anytime test again because I've enjoyed my in-person auditions/tests and I've been hoping they would resume sometime in the not too distant future.

Somebody asked when they would have a live studio audience again and they said it was something they were working on but there wasn't any solid info.
I don't think you should hold off on taking the anytime test.
I had a dream that I was asleep and then I woke up and Jeopardy! was on.

Re: 2022 Audition Questions
How many unsuccessful auditions does it take before you stop trying out? I was successful on my first, but the eligibility rules nixed my shot. I’ve had 2 more auditions since, with no second call.

Re: 2022 Audition Questions
They're also doing live auditions at this event in Las Vegas in August.
However, I wouldn't be expecting them to travel any further than Vegas for in-person auditions anytime soon.

Re: 2022 Audition Questions
The last time they did special auditions in Vegas for Trivia Nationals, they raised the bar for passing. I don't know how much higher than 35 it went, but it was higher. So someone like me who barely passes, and sometimes barely misses the mark, this may not help.trainman wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 1:53 am They're also doing live auditions at this event in Las Vegas in August.

Re: 2022 Audition Questions
At least this time you’ll know if you’ve passed well before the event. At Trivia Nationals, we tested in the AM and only half the group got to try out in the afternoon.triviawayne wrote: ↑Fri Jul 01, 2022 7:25 amThe last time they did special auditions in Vegas for Trivia Nationals, they raised the bar for passing.

As a first step, you need to take the anytime test, or email them to say you’re attending and you’ve already taken it

Re: 2022 Audition Questions
I did in fact receive an invitation for a Zoom audition, two weeks and two days after taking the anytime test. I'm as shocked as anyone. I've taken the online test around eight times, and this is the first time I've ever heard back from them.bibliophage wrote: ↑Tue Jun 28, 2022 4:51 pmI think you're right.
