I don't know. I never looked. :D

I don't think they said…

Well, as long as I swim through this confusion and place in the top 120, I'll be happy. xD xP

Same here…but what if I don't? So are they going to announce who qualified for Nationals on August 8th at the event? I do NOT want to find out if I did or did not qualify in front of a bunch of people.

Me either. xP

According to the links Rachel posted, a "portion" of the Nats verses will be released on June 22. Nats scores and rankings will be released on participant dashboards on Aug. 8. 120 Nats participants again.

Are they not going to have the whole list of people?? You can only see your own ranking???

I don't know. It didn't say.

I surely hope not. That's most of the fun, is looking through the list and being like "Ahhh, yay! Whoever made it!!!!" xD

I know! They still have the Nats contestants page up on the website, so hopefully it will stay there.

No, I don't believe they did... They said something about "enough time for each contestant's ability" or something of that sort.

I'll say I need a lot of time because sometime my brain isn't good at remembering under pressure............ XP

Hehe, me too!!! xP

Oooh… I know, I wouldn't want to find out if I qualified in front of a bunch of people either! I guess I find out if I made Semis in a room full of people though, but that's different.

I don't know, I'm confused about it now. I've heard that it's the 8th and also that it's the 14th. confessedness

On the FAQ page I think it said that on August 8th you can see your ranking on your dashboard…

EDIT: Quote from the FAQ Nationals section:
"5. How do I find out if I am invited to Nationals?
Your scores and rankings will be available on the participant dashboard on August 8."

Yeah. Because then people would have to see me swim in my tears too. XP XD

Oooh... I know, I wouldn't want to find out if I qualified in front of a bunch of people either! I guess I find out if I made Semis in a room full of people though, but that's different.

I don't want to find out that I made it in front of everyone if my family is the only one with qualifying for contestants. I also don't want to find out that I didn't make it in front of a bunch of people, because then I might cry :P.

Okay! I so hope that's right. A week is long enough to have to survive… Two weeks would just be…….not good. xP

They might have to pay for some funerals… :P jk

On the FAQ page I think it said that on *August 8th* you can see your ranking on your dashboard...

Yes. Also, in the 2015 Summer Program Update, it said that the Awards Day (Aug. 8) was designed as an opportunity to recognize the National qualifiers (something like that).

I knowww. We usually have our whole bee together when they release the scores… and I don't particularly like it. And I always am like "Okay…if I didn't qualify, I am NOT going to cry. Especially in front of all these people. It's really not that big of a deal, so don't cry about it." :P

Rachel, where did you get those links? I'm having a hard time copying things on the iPad.

Anna: Exactly!!!!

Emily: Yes, two weeks is definitely far, far too long to wait. :P

=O
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE THE TEST ANYWHERE FROM AUGUST 1 TO AUGUST 7.
=O

xDDDD

On the BB website, right below the slides.

ARE THEY NUTS?

Whaaaaat?

At least for the Semis announcement, you can hide in your hotel room if you feel like crying. :P (In case you guys thought 18-year-olds are very mature, we're not. :P I wanted to cry because I didn't make Semis.)

Who on earth is going to take it at 6am the 1st if they can have a whole 'nother week to study?

Whaaaaat?

I'm serious.
^It seems they don't know about MV. XP jk^

What??? Where did you see that???

Who on earth is going to take it at 6am the 1st if they can have a whole 'nother week to study?

My thoughts exactly…. =P

=P Wow.

=O YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE THE TEST ANYWHERE FROM AUGUST 1 TO AUGUST 7. =O

ARE THEY NUTS?

Why would they do that??? They sure are relying on the ol' honors system…

Okay! I so hope that's right. A week is long enough to have to survive... Two weeks would just be.......not good. xP

Yes. But I'll be sure to put on my will to donate all the money to SKF so that they'll bring the McMahans back, and keep everything the old way :).

Someone could seriously cheat that way……

WOW. Way too many variables to control.

Oh, okay, thanks. Wow! I think I'd like to wait a couple extra days then.

Totally.

But if I take it the first day, HOW WILL I KEEP QUIET ABOUT THE QUESTIONS FOR A WHOLE WEEK??????

Oh, okay, thanks. Wow! I think I'd like to wait a couple extra days then.

Yeah, same. I wonder if siblings can take them different days or what?

But if I take it the first day, HOW WILL I KEEP QUIET ABOUT THE QUESTIONS FOR A WHOLE WEEK??????

Get some duct tape. =P

Someone could seriously cheat that way......

And I thought making all the tests online was opening it up for cheating… I hope they change this!

I wonder if they did that so that those people who could compete on the 8th but not on the 1st would still have a chance.

I know! It's going to be hard enough not to talk about it for a day!

Someone could seriously cheat that way......

Good idea! And if we design some BB duct tape, and sell it to all the contestants, we'll be rich! xp jk

But if I take it the first day, HOW WILL I KEEP QUIET ABOUT THE QUESTIONS FOR A WHOLE WEEK??????

Get some duct tape. =P

That could be the new Bible Bee-labeled item, to add to the collection of stress balls, lawn chairs, and keychains…

I don't think any of my siblings want to test, although it might be different now that it's online. But yeah, I don't know how that would work.

DEAR MCMAHAN DYNASTY:

I TAKE IT ALL BACK. HANDWAVING WAS EXHILARATING. THE APPLY SECTIONS WERE MY FAVORITE PART. YOU NEVER RELEASED ANYTHING LATE, AND THERE WERE NEVER ANY TYPOS ON THE WEBSITE. YOU WERE ALWAYS COMPLETELY FAIR AND RATIONAL. WE LOVED YOU. NOW WILL YOU PLEASE COME BACK?

But if I take it the first day, HOW WILL I KEEP QUIET ABOUT THE QUESTIONS FOR A WHOLE WEEK??????

Get some duct tape. =P

I'll have to wear hand cuffs, too, so I don't say anything on MV, ST, or Quizlet.

Margaret, I seriously laughed out loud when I read that!

Margaret, I seriously laughed out loud when I read that!

Me too. xP And my mom when I read it to her.
