NATIONALS!

I feel that one super long one is way easier than 20 short ones !

Really? It's the opposite for me! :)

For me, the long ones are harder to memorize but easier to remember.

Yeah, I just finished printing them out too……and yeah, I feel the same way :P

Did anyone tie with anyone else? I don't know which yet, but I tied with either Alex or Ben Watt :D

I was looking back through the comments to a year earlier, and this year, YESS! I tied with three other Primaries! #17!

I tied with someone, but I think got the higher ranking since my ID # was closer to the beginning

When you tie I think that you are ranked higher if your written is higher :).

I tied with someone from the Alexander's bee!

I know I tied with Ben Watt and two other people.

Really? Let me look….
EDIT: No, we got the same exact written and orals scores….

Well if you get the SAME EXACT score (very rare) They do rank you by ID numbers…….

I also got the same EXACT score as two other people. I think it is more common this year, as a lot of people got perfect orals.

WHO IS EXCITED FOR NATIONALS?????? :D

@Rachel- Do you know if your going yet?

sighs No, I don't :( But I hope SOOOOOO much that we go! =D

Yes this is my first year qualifying so I am still trying to figure out how to memorize and study on such a large scale.

@ BibleBee: I have memorized 85 verses so far. I am trying to speed up but getting up to speed is slow work. :)

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO MEMORIZE ALL THESE VERSES?

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO MEMORIZE ALL THESE VERSES?!!!

Oops…. Sorry

Just memorize them! I guess you should use memverse to review if you don't have a sibling who wants to test you.

Just stick with it! I did 600 easily (okay, maybe not easily, but it wasn't impossibly hard :P) last year, and I'm well on my way to 750 this year! I thought it was a lot when I first found out, but I'm finding it's not so hard if I really work at it.

Same here :) It's not as hard as it looks if you just do it.

Memverse is a really good tool, but you also need to make sure to quiz your verses orally. I neglected doing a lot of oral quizzing last year, which contributed to my low score.

I agree. Speaking is way different than typing. I also do a lot of mock oral rounds.

@Dani M.: I've found that the best way to memorize all the verses is to memorize them :) You can do!! :) Just be diligent :)
