Hello! This is just a place for people to chat with one anther, quiz one another… etc. Enjoy!

Ok. So, how's everyone's studying going? What does a normal studying day look like for you?

My studying is going good! A normal day of studying…..
–Read through a week of Sword Study
–Review Verses
–Study Cross References
–Study Greek Words
–Read through 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, John and Revelation
–Make lot of review sheets on the computer
–Read Commentaries
–And extra studying I can think of

Is anyone nervous yet?

For me, I try to do all these in a "normal" study day (if I can find one of those! =D )
–Sword Study - do the day's study and Review SS
–Review Verses - recite some to someone or to recorder
–Read through/study Master Sheet of Cross References
–Review Greek words offline and on Quizlet
–Overviews of 1 Jn. / Questions
–Computer study (such as Memverse, Quizlet, make sheets on Microsoft, etc.

I think that's all :) I am doing a few other things, in preparation for Locals.

Carissa: I'm a little nervous :)

Where did u get a master list of crossreferences? Is there anyway u could send it to me??

Carissa sent it to me. :)

@Dani: I'll email it to you :)

That is an awesome schedule! My mom wants me to just go on with the regular days and do one day a day, so I will be done the day before BB or so. I have been trying to study Greek words, and reciting my verses or practicing on Memverse.

Thanks so much! :-)

I was just looking at previous Nationals qualifiers, and I noticed that they REALLY messed up the pictures! Just look at Nina Camillone, Bonnie Leigh and Meggie Cruser, Sarah Eddy, and Alex Watt. Beware: You might be very surprised at the pictures you find there!

Some of the Junior pics are messed up too. Arianna Edwards, Sarah Frisk, Hannah Leary, and Ben Watt are all messed up.

And why does it say that Michael Galitz won 1st in Primaries?? That makes no sense… Laura Gosz and Josiah Jaster are also mixed up on that page.

Aaag!!! My name is NOT Meggie Cruser!!!!! :P

LOL!!!!!! The picture next to Alex's name. facepalm where did they get those?!!?!??!

LOL!!!!!! The picture next to Alex's name. *facepalm* where did they get those?!!?!??!

coughs that's quite funny :P

And ben's too! They both have the beach in the background… :P really weird. Lol :)

Wow. Just wow. :P It looks kind of like they took the pictures from 2011 and 2012 and mixed them together and put them with random names :P

Emily- did you place first at your bee? :)

yes :) I think just about everyone on here placed first at their bee :P :D

Good for you! :D claps I placed 1st too! :D

That's really cool! =D Congrats!! :) Out of how many Seniors? There were only two including me, so yeah. :P

Oh wow! Somebody needs to tell them what's wrong. :)

Yeah maybe someone should… On the other hand it's kinda funny. Lol :)

Out of 5 :)
So, do you think you'll make it?

Oh wow, that's great!!!! =D

Um, no :P Unless the scores are a LOT lower than last year. :) Do you think you'll qualify?

I doubt that I will, cries - mainly, because I wasnt able to finish the entire test… ;-( but I still hope! :)

:'( The test was SO hard.

It was probably the hardest test I've ever taken…. •_•

It was definitely the hardest test I've ever taken. :-/

Oh wow, that's great!!!! =D Um, no :P Unless the scores are a LOT lower than last year. :) Do you think you'll qualify?

They will be a lot lower. :) Exactly how much lower we have yet to see, but take my word for it, they'll be lower. This is because of the difficulty of the test and the increased pool of qualifiers.

Yeah, but they need to be a LOT lower, rather than a lot lower. :P

You all should make predictions for cut-off scores. :) Here are mine:

Primary : 560

Junior: 620 (maybe lower, maybe higher. This one is the most difficult to guess on.)

Senior: 695

Last year, the scores did not drop nearly as much as we thought, so I guess we will have to see. :)

Interesting! Well, if I'm predicting my score correctly, I may, or may not make it, according to your prediction :)

I think most people were able to finish the test… You still have hope! :D

I wasn't able to finish the test :( cries But I did fill in my remaining bubbles with B!
Yes, I'm still hoping :D

If you're right, I'll make it! :)

Me 2 :D

If I may ask, why did you choose to fill in the B's?

What do you guys think the nationals book will be?

Probably 2 and 3 John.

I have no idea. I hope that they pick something easy like 2&3 John though :)

I just hope that they won't do a part of Revelation or something like that.

I don't think they will pick part of Revelation because it has so many different interpretations.

Thats why I am afraid that they will use it.

Though they might only use the first part of revelation when God is giving his words to the seven churches.

How about a passage in John?

They could but I think it more likely that they will either do 2 and 3 john or 2 and 3 John and a passage in the Gospel of John. Second and Third John kind of have the same type of message as First John so I'm not sure that they would use a long passage out of the Gospel. But you never know.

Either a passage from John or the Book of James

Why think you the Book of James? :)
