Here you can talk about Locals! How did everyone do? What did you think about the test?
Matthew Minica
This time I'm not the first one on MV back from Locals… Finally. :P
Matthew Minica
Let's not talk specifics about the test until later on… some people probably still haven't taken it yet.
Matthew Minica
^(is anyone else going to post here?)^ Anyways, all of our family got a place! Philip got 3rd and Zachary got 4th in Primaries, Brianna got 4th in Juniors, Courtney tied for 2nd in Seniors, and I got 1st. :)
Cow

Matthew Minica

Cow

Matthew Minica
Yep… I'm feeling a bit bored too… Normally I would study, but… xP

What did you all think of the test? (generally of course) Easier than last year? Harder?
Cow

Easiest BB test I ever took. Of course that probably has to do with the fact that I was extremely prepared for it. :)

Hey Rachel! How do you think you did?
2 Corinthians 5:17
Hmmm… I finished the test which I'm happy about :) The test wasn't near as hard as last year so happy. I still had to think though XD I sure hope I did well enough to qualify!!!
Matthew Minica
That's great! I really hope you'll qualify this year! From what I know, I think you've got a good chance :)
Jackson
It was my easiest, too…but then again, the only other one I took was last year's! :D

That's great! I really hope you'll qualify this year! From what I know, I think you've got a good chance :)
Well, thanks!! :) I hope y'all qualify too :D

Our bible bee seemed so short this year with no orals. :( I thought the test was good though. Probably my favorite one so far.
Matthew Minica
Come on now… Where is everybody???
Child of God
The test was harder for me than it was last year…. :( I doubt if i qualified. Does anyone know approximately how many seniors there is? Congrats to everyone who placed and participated!! :)
2 Corinthians 5:17
Come on now... _Where is everybody???_
I'm wondering the same thing!! But I'm here!! :D

I miss orals sooooo much!!!!!!
Lady of Gondor
I wonder if they will ever bring it back. They didn't get that many kids this year, not as many as they wanted. And most of the people I've talked to REALLY miss orals.

Did I tell about my incident with the announcement of the placements?

I don't believe so! Do tell! :)

Well, Mrs. Becker was announcing the Senior placements, and got up to 3rd with no mention of either Courtney, myself, or Hannah. Then she said "for the first time ever, we have a tie in our Bible Bee for 2nd place." I naturally thought it was for 2nd and 1st place, because usually when there's a tie then they take up the same space of ranks as if there was no tie. So if there was a two-way tie for 1st, the next placing would be 3rd. That's how they do it at Nationals at least. So I expected mine and Courtney's names to be called. But then she called Courtney and Hannah! I was like "What - I'm not going to get an award????" That was - I can't describe it adequately - that was terrible!!! Ohhh, it was such a relief when they called me for 1st!! xP
2 Corinthians 5:17
How many Seniors were at your bee? :) Congrats on getting first! :D
Matthew Minica
There were ten - the most we've had! Thanks! :)
2 Corinthians 5:17

Great! :) Our bee only had three Seniors.

Hey Everett! Yes, I thought the test wasn't as hard as last years locals (especially the 1st fourth) but it might have gotten harder later in the test. I don't think I knew some of the CR questions perfect, and some of the re-wording might have been tricky.
Did you do a locals or proctor?
Everett C.
Look on chatzy :)
Everett C.
I went to a local host.
Matthew Minica
can't remember an afternoon after Locals ever being this boring on Memverse :\
Don't take that personally.
Everett C.
So, what did you think?
Matthew Minica
About the test? Easiest BB test I ever took! :) I can't remember ever being so happy during a BB test either. There were a few questions (mostly CR) that I didn't know, but for the most part, with some thought, I knew most every answer. :D
Everett C.
Wow. Do you know your score? The test felt pretty easy. I took a guess on like 5 of them but all the others I had some vague idea at least…
Everett C.
How fast did you finish? I had 20 minutes left for review which is a personal best :D
Ian R.2
The test was way easier than last year, but I still don't know if I qualified. :)
Matthew Minica

IKR? That was the exact response I had coming out of the testing room… That and "Thank God!!" :D No, I don't know my score but I'm guessing it will be somewhere in the 500s.
I finished with 8-9 minutes left - a personal best for myself as well. I never finished with more than a couple minutes left before. It was real nice too, because I got to go back and change some of my answers.
I need to go eat dinner now. Be back soon!
2 Corinthians 5:17
The test was *way* easier than last year, but I still don't know if I qualified. :)
That's how I feel :)
Matthew Minica
Still haven't heard from the Alexanders or the P's…………..
2 Corinthians 5:17
*Still* haven't heard from the Alexanders or the P's..............
I have… lol :P But I don't know if I want to ruin their news ;-)
Matthew Minica
sniff Now I'm jealous… JK
Why haven't they gotten on MV yet though??
2 Corinthians 5:17
LOL! Well, I caught Rosie for just a minute on Grooveshark, and Carissa messaged me on G+. IDK why they haven't been on MV yet…. sigh ;-)
Matthew Minica
I'm going to go swimming. Be back later!
Luke Purkey
David and I competed here in Redmond, OR. He got third and I got first in the Senior Division.
2 Corinthians 5:17
Funnn! :D Haha, bye!
Sarah B.
*Still* haven't heard from the Alexanders or the P's..............
I KNOW RIGHT?! But Elizabeth was at the same Bee as the P's, and she has reported that Carissa and Bethany were both still breathing when she left them….
