Oral or Written?

That. Written. Was. So. Hard. Period. :P

Ditto. I think orals is definately my fav now. :) lol

I much prefer Orals over written :) how many of the passages did you quote? I did all of them, with a minute and 1/2 left :D

Me TOO :)! And I also finished with that much time left :)

Yeah, when I started on that test I almost changed my mind about liking written better than orals…. :P :D

Wow! Great job! :) I did all of them two. :)

I used to think that I liked the written better then the oral, but now, I'm hands down all for the orals:)

LOL :) I think almost everyone is like that now :)!

Wow!!
Is written really that much harder this year?
I was at BB nationals the first 3 years of competition 2009-2011
My favorite part was always written. (I could never speak as fast as I needed to so as to complete my verses within the time limit).
Is the written this year like the 2009 written?

I looked at the first question on the test, and I'm like…."great…this is gona be a looooong hour"

I thought the first question was easy! The 2nd through 200th…..not so much…..

Hi Marie! You haven't been on in ages! :D Yes - it was VERY difficult…..the questions were so vague and general….coming from anywhere in the Bible! :o

I did the written test in 2009, but didn't really study much for it…I still think this test was harder than the '09 Jr test. At least those questions were specific. These ones were so general, and it was hard to tell what they meant. It didn't seem like any of the questions came from the Sword Study.

Exactly! :-\

Who changed their minds on which they like better after locals :P?!?!?

Not I!

I did. Before, I liked the written better, now, I love Orals!!!!!!!!

Nope! :)

I didn't change my mind, because I've liked Orals more :D

I almost did, but not quite!! =D :P

I always to better on orals than written.

The part I disliked on my written was that they paraphrased almot everything….

Um, kind of me :P while I was waiting to go into orals I was talking with my sister, and I was like, "Wow, orals just seems so sweet right now." :D

lol

I didn't change my mind. I liked both orals and written just the same this year :)

Yeah. :)

This year, ORALS!!! I got every verse correct! Written was hard. I didn't get nervous for Orals because I had the same judges as last year. Written scared me. Plus, I popped a blister on my finger which made it hard to write. But I finished it, so I'm okay with that.

I felt very good about how i did with orals, and not so great about how i did with the written, but as probably my paster would say, it doesn't really matter how I feel, and in this case feelings were deceiving. I said all the verses, as I thought, without much trouble at all, while the written test was something I went too slow on, and got only to Q# 175. Once I read my scores, I found out that it was not quite as I had thought, in the orals, it seems I said the wrong passage once, and also made four other errors. In the written, I may have done just as bad as I thought, but did better than someone in our local bee that had finished the test, and I was sure did better than me there.
