Do you think we should study the verses that we wrote in Week One or the verses sometimes referenced during the ACTS prayer time?

I don't think so…
This is what it says on the Bible Bee FAQs page (http://www.biblebee.org/_pages/faq.php):

Question: Do contestants need to be familiar with the biographical information contained in the vignettes or information from the recommended resources to do well on the Written Test?

Answer: According to the Competition Rulebook p. 17, #2 and #3 of the Written Test Round section, the Written Tests will cover comprehension of the Bible memory passages and a wide range of Bible knowledge that is based on the designated Bible book of the year, including word studies and cross references of that book. The test is not based on the Sword Study itself or on the supplementary materials. While the biographical examples support the message of Paul’s letter to Timothy and us, they are not the Bible.

Hope that helps =)

Well… there were three questions on the test about the offerings chart. So yes, we were supposed to study it… but I didn't :(

I don't understand what "offerings chart" you are referring to. Was it just in the Senior Sword Study, and if so, could you explain its content, please? :)

Yes, it was only in the Senior Sword Study, page 187. It listed the basic types of Old Testament offerings, their purpose, elements, cross-references, and representation. It was supposed to be a resource for learning more about what Paul was talking about when he said he was being poured out like a drink offering.

Wait a minute! They asked me a question about one of the OT offerings in the Junior test, and I had no idea what the answer was! That's not fair! :P I guess they just made a mistake in putting that question in the test. :)
