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.inturnaround wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2018 9:28 am I just got an audition invitation Tuesday for 3/24 in DC based off last May's test. Interesting.

Did anyone else get one?

I got a DC audition, but on Monday, 3/26.dnbguy wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2018 7:44 pmI 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.inturnaround wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2018 9:28 am I just got an audition invitation Tuesday for 3/24 in DC based off last May's test.

Re: Timing of Audition Invite Emails
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

Re: Timing of Audition Invite Emails
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.
