Day 2 same problem. I've used this exact computer before for many a test. I absolutely have no idea what is going on. Day 3 I'll try another browser.

I wasn't able to take it tonight. When I logged in, it said that there were no tests tonight and that the next test is at 1700 PT on March 15th.

I was able to take it and my immediate reaction is "yikes."
Looking forward to the answers being posted - I've been wrong before!

I've practiced using past online tests I found on Youtube, but this seemed tougher than those.
Thought I had bombed it (4 of the first 6 wrong isn't good for confidence, especially given that this is my first test in a number of years) but looking at the answers, I'm at either 39 or 40 right, depending on whether the last name only is acceptable on question 40.

Well I feel good about it, but now to wait for the postings here.
There were about 10 questions that matched up with stuff I've asked at my trivia nights, and I believe 2 questions were recently on the show in one form or another.
If I have all those correct, that means I get up to 15 strikes out of 38...I'm liking my odds!

Good Grief, I butchered that. I'm normally close 40, but I don't think so.

This one's going to hurt. Came up with Vaniyu Dai with about a second to go. I doubt they accept it. Totally blanking on Airbus isn't making me happy, either. And I knew there would be a Shakespeare quote on there and I reviewed it enough to connect Twelfth Night to music be the food of love, and I blanked there, too, which seems impossible. And Toulouse alone won't cut it on the artist. Arrgh. This one was passable, and I didn't.
Edit... 36 - even with the four really bad misses (35 if Gershwin alone is no good). My first presumed pass.

That was tough. I might have pulled 36 if they give me credit for a two-letter partial on the Trocadero river question.

I will wait to see the answers (or at least the questions) are posted before saying too much. There were 3 I got wrong (blanked on Vanity Fair, dammit) and six that I guessed on to some extent. I guess that puts my score between 41-47, which is pretty normal for me in recent years. Subjectively, this felt about average in difficulty.
ETA: after seeing OntarioQuizzer’s answers (thanks!) I got 45, missing Byzantium, This is Us, the Seine, Gershwin (painful 50/50 with Berlin)

Hope it went well for everyone else!
I may have missed a few others along the way, but it went well.
Edit: I didn't specify which may cost me, but other than than I got them all as OntarioQuizzer posted. Woohoo! Now, to see if Schleimann and Austin Powers are correct and that I've sunk my chances of an audition by getting a perfect score. My previously imperfect scores weren't getting me auditions anyhow, so I never believed in their theory that the best scores don't get picked.
Spoiler
Never heard of the Trocadero, and it sounded Spanish - but there is only one river I know of where they speak of the "left bank" and the "right bank" and that is the Seine.
Edit: I didn't specify
Spoiler
which Gershwin,

I took the test for fun and missed 4, if Ontario Quizzer's answers are correct. Had a few lucky guesses.

I was able to take the test! The first time I've done the test at my standing desk -- I think it helped me! Plus I lucked out that a few of the questions hit right in my area of expertise, including one about my alma mater's mascot.
I usually get 34 right, just under the theoretical bar. Looking forward to seeing the answer key here to find out if I bested it.
EDIT: 38 and thrilled!
