Would you happen to know if there's any Teen Tournament tests online? I looked but couldn't find any.badgerfellow wrote: ↑Tue May 02, 2017 12:29 pm If you have some time, the prior adult tests have been posted on Youtube. You can try playing along to get a sense of the timing (for the most part, since you'd have to try pencil and paper as opposed to typing), as well as a sense of the types of questions.
Here are the links to a couple of the October 2016 tests as a start:

Study, practice tests, and, if it's your thing - pray!
I made it to an audition on my 5th try of the on-line test, wrote "for fun" in 2012 while I was still in the pool and have written every year that I've been able to since (I'm Canadian).

Same channel had the 2013 test. Note sound is strange throughout the video, but the video is still good to go:arjavrawal wrote: ↑Sun May 21, 2017 1:08 pmWould you happen to know if there's any Teen Tournament tests online?

Are the online tests and auditions happening more frequently now, or do they just happen when they happen? Selfishly, I'm wondering how soon the searchers will come back to NYC considering they were just here a few weeks ago.

In the past, they asked you to run a test to make sure your software/internet connection/etc. was compatible, but this time I don't see that. Did I miss it, or did they leave it out this time?

Don't just see if the practice tests opens, make sure you are using the best browser for your computer.
I use Chrome for my normal web use, but will be using Firefox for the test.
When you take the test and type in your answer--DO NOT HIT THE ENTER OR SUBMIT BUTTONS. Whatever is in the answer box will be submitted when the 15 seconds are up. If you know the answer faster, give yourself time to breathe before the next question pops up.
Taking the practice test with Firefox, I don't have to click my mouse in the answer box for each question, it just automatically appears there--very important as this doesn't happen with Chrome (on my computer anyway, it might on yours) and I don't want to waste time making that mouseclick when I could be reading the question.
Have fun and good luck!
