I said earlier in the thread, but after last January's test, people were getting calls with scores of 37 and 38, so 35 may still be the "pass."

I'm taking it tonight. I would have done pretty well on tuesday- 36. Yesterday was 30-31 depending on Somalia. I put mule for #44 and was about to make a case for it, but pump was the better answer. I really hope they include a hunger games question tonight.

I can't be too upset that I accidentally took the test last night, because my computer bugged out and if I hadn't accidentally taken it last night, I wouldn't have been able to take it at all.

I'm on for tonight -- 11PM Eastern time. I just take these for fun, because I know I'll never get 35 of 50 correct. Anyone ever been on an actual audition? Are they super hard/insane?

Maybe it's because I'm fluent in French but that totally continued this week's streak of easy FJ questions. I'm doing the test at 8 Pacific.

I'm testing tonight- managed over a 45 last online test but they never bothered holding Sacramento auditions, so I was left out in the cold. Looking forward to crushing another and then spending a year hoping they don't shaft Phoenix, too.

Nailed it. Was uncertain about 6 of my answers, but even if I duffed them all it'll still be a qualifying score; time to play the waiting game to see if random chance fails me once more.

Same the only ones I didn't get I would not have gotten with unlimited time. This was easily the most difficult of the tests among the three.
