Did anyone else get one?
Congrats. My streak of failing to get an audition despite scoring 40+ on the online test has now been extended to 7 years. I think I am beyond frustration at this point.

My streak extends to 8 years right now. Don’t feel too bad.

I did as well! If there's anyone else in that audition group, if you aren't local, I would recommend figuring out your travel plans ASAP - the Jeopardy auditions aren't the only thing going on in DC that day.
I got a DC audition, but on Monday, 3/26.

So last week, I was on vacation in Nashville and having a beer while watching a band in one of the honky tonks. I feel my phone buzz so I pull it out of my purse and IT IS FREAKIN' JEOPARDY. I got the call! Incredibly excited.

Online test: I think it was May 30, 2017 - I thought it was the worst out of the 3-4 tests I've done (I calculated between 33-35 correct) and really didn't expect to get an invite to an in-person audition.

In-person audition: Toronto on November 15, 2017

The call: March 9, 2018

Taping: April 4, 2018

Air date: week of July 23-27, 2018

Thank you! I was in your group in the morning - the girl with the swan sweater if you remember that. ☺️

I do remember that. (I was to your immediate left in the mock game!)

Your receiving The Call comes as zero surprise to me whatsoever.

Thank you, Andy - I suppose the shirt stood out to them. Fingers crossed that you get your own call soon!

Starting with the 2009 quiz I have passed 7 times without an invite. This week was passing score number 8 but this time that horrid streak ends and I get to go to the audition right here in Cleveland. Uh, I do, don't I????

Quick turnaround and less than 30 days notice to prepare!

I see they've also scheduled tapings on 4/11 and 4/12, so more calls will go out :)

PS/ April 4 is my birthday, so I'm wishing you good luck by proxy

I stopped counting, but I think I'm at 10 passing scores, no invites--also picked Cleveland
