I thought I did that, but if I didn't, I can't figure out how to get back to that screen on the website. Help?
Yes - I got the same message after receiving a confirmation e-mail last week. Tried sending a message to the "help" address, but no response yet.

Don't worry Mr. Kid, I got the email and it freaked me out for a second, but I went back and searched my old emails and I had a confirmation that I was signed up. Pretty sure it was just a mistake. Check your emails and see if you got a confirmation when you signed up.

Based on stories of cross-pollination on this board, we can assume that auditioning/appearing on Sports-J! does not affect eligibility for regular J!?

I guess I'm okay now because I got an email that said I can take the test any time after 6PM PDT.

I wonder how they're making sure people don't cheat since people can take it at different times. Must at least be multiple versions of the test.

I think you may be misreading, I found a screen on the registration page that says you can login any time after 6 Pacific. You should double check that email. It is pretty likely that everyone is taking the test at the same time, at 7 Pacific.

Thank You for posting that. Good thing I posted my errant thoughts. The web site does indicate 7PM, but my email just says anytime after 6PM. Obviously they're saying I can log in up to an hour before hand.

When I took the test and auditioned last year, we were told very clearly that you CAN be on both regular J! and Sports J! In fact, nearly all of the 24 people who passed the Sports J test at my session had either already appeared on J! or had auditioned for the show. Maggie seemed to recognize almost everyone.

It's not even 9:40 and the webpage is loading at a snail's pace. I smell a hot mess on the horizon...

I'm unable to connect. They should have known how many people would be taking the test from the registration.
