But now that you바카라 게임 웹사이트re ready to compete, how do you convert that lifelong dream into action? Tens of thousands of hopefuls shoot their "Jeopardy!" shot every year, but only a fraction can make it onto the show. Fortunately for you, the audition process for "Jeopardy!" no longer involves waiting months on end for the Brain Bus to roll into your town. We바카라 게임 웹사이트ve spelled out all the steps below, so with this handy guide, you바카라 게임 웹사이트ll be ready to become a "Jeopardy!" champion in no time.
First, take the test
First thing바카라 게임 웹사이트s first: "Jeopardy!" hopefuls must take and pass a qualifying test. You can take the test online anytime (conveniently known as The Anytime Test), or pre-register for a scheduled testing time, at which you and thousands of other applicants will take the test simultaneously. Composed of 50 categories and 50 clues, just like the ones you see on the show, you바카라 게임 웹사이트ll have 15 seconds to submit your answer to each question, meaning that the test only takes approximately 13 minutes total. No two tests are exactly the same, as the questions pull from a huge pool of material, but each applicant can expect the same format. You can only take the test once a year, so don바카라 게임 웹사이트t shoot your shot until you know you바카라 게임 웹사이트re ready.
To prepare for the test, avail yourself of the on the official "Jeopardy!" website, like insight from producers and practice tests. Ken Jennings, the "Jeopardy!" GOAT is partial to using homemade flashcards as a study tool.
Next, audition for the show
"Jeopardy!" never reveals test scores, but if you pass the test, you바카라 게임 웹사이트ll be added to a pool of eligible applicants. This pool has far more eligible applicants than the show has contestant slots, so names are randomly plucked for auditions until all of the slots for the season are filled. "Jeopardy!" may contact you at any time within one year of your test, so keep an eye on your email for that fateful invitation to audition.
These days, owing to the pandemic, auditions are taking place virtually. Contestant coordinators lead groups of three applicants through a mock game of "Jeopardy!" After the mock game, applicants take part in mock interviews, just like the ones you see before Double Jeopardy on the show. You may be tempted to invest all your time in preparing for the game, but pay some mind to getting camera-ready, too바카라 게임 웹사이트look sharp and try to keep your nerves under control. According to Chris Wong, a former "Jeopardy!" contestant, 바카라 게임 웹사이트They바카라 게임 웹사이트re not looking for the smartest people in the room. They바카라 게임 웹사이트re looking for people who will make for the best show.바카라 게임 웹사이트
Then, wait for the call
If you thought the test and the audition were the hard part, waiting for the news that your number is up might be even harder. If you바카라 게임 웹사이트ve done well at your audition, you바카라 게임 웹사이트ll be placed in another pool of eligible contestants, this time for up to 18 months. If you바카라 게임 웹사이트re selected to compete on the show, you바카라 게임 웹사이트ll be notified around a month in advance of your tape date, and then it바카라 게임 웹사이트s off to Culver City, California, with you.
If your first shot at getting on "Jeopardy!" fails, don바카라 게임 웹사이트t get discouraged, and do keep your hopes up for next year's test. 바카라 게임 웹사이트It바카라 게임 웹사이트s super selective every year,바카라 게임 웹사이트 said Jennings. 바카라 게임 웹사이트I think by the numbers it바카라 게임 웹사이트s 10 times harder to get on "Jeopardy!" than to get into Yale. I know a lot of really good players who failed the audition 5 times before they finally got on the show and did great. So don바카라 게임 웹사이트t get down on yourself. Wait for the next tryout. You바카라 게임 웹사이트re going to get better. It is something you can get better at.바카라 게임 웹사이트
