Yes, they were vague! They weren't that hard when I think over it now, but they were very vague.

You just have to practicing thinking vague thoughts. You accomplish this by watching sunsets and turning them into impressionist paintings in your head. Sometimes reading the test upside-down with your eyes crossed helps.

The test was easy; it seemed to go fine. I got first, Seniors, and my sister Rebekah got second, Max, David and Tabitha got 2nd, 3rd, and 5th in Juniors, respectively, Marta got 2nd in Primaries and William got 3rd.

Wow! That's great! It was pretty surprising that the test was so easy. I was 2nd in Seniors and Everett was 3rd in Juniors.

Same for you, too!!! :D I thought the first 100 questions were pretty easy, and then after that it became more challenging; but it was better than last year, I think.
How about you?

GTG goodnight! 1 Cor. 9:25!!

:D Okay! I thought all of the sr test was pretty easy, but there were a few questions I wasn't totally sure about…especially the one on Psalm cross references. I could never keep any of them straight. :P Good night!

D31c974fe43f1230dbcb183971bfbdec?s=128&d=mm

Emily H

Me too. Yeah, the answers were pretty obvious for the most part…most of the time I was debating between two…I think I would have done better if I had read through them a bit more though. :P

Hey Everett, I have got to say that that practice test you made was something else!… Never had taken a test quite like it before.

^Sorry! I was occupied for a moment^

That's great! Well, leave the results in God's hands - keep your eyes fixed on the imperishable prize - and anything the competition has to offer will just be a tiny trinket, compared to the wealth of knowing the Lord and His Word more! :) ^But I can at least say that I hope you qualify! =)^

I'm gonna go watch Ace Wonder with my bro now! ^(now that I don't have to feel guilty doing it… :P:)^ Bye guys!!! Congratulation to you all on your perseverance through the summer!!! :)

Amen! I have been trying to think like that. If I do make it it's totally by The Lord's Will.

Exactly! Bible Bee is so much more beneficial, fun ^seriously!^, and stress-free ^again, seriously!^ when we're not so caught up in the competition and getting praised by men. That's a lesson the Lord has to teach me and work in me every year.

Yes! For the first half of my BB I didn't rly get anything out of it cuz I was too worried about what I needed to have done… But these past two weeks my eyes have been opened.

A post at last from the P's!! The reason why we haven't gotten on, was because we had the Walley's over after the Bee, and then we Skyped with the Alexander's for 2 hours as well.

So… a little update on how the Bee went! Ellia placed 1st in primaries, David placed 1st in Juniors, and Carissa placed 1st in seniors, and I placed 2nd. =) Thought the test was a lot easier than last year, but I still thought it was difficult. David and Carissa thought it was easier, and Ellia thought it was hard too.

Congratulations to everyone! You all did a great job! XD

It was good!! It's a remake of Heartstrings, if you've seen that (and didn't already know that :P). Although it wasn't super close to Heartstrings…similar storyline but a lot more action and more mystery. I think Heartstrings had a better turning point though. I liked it!

No, I haven't heard anything. I was actually talking with Rachel about that earlier.

My dad thinks it'll be Thursday…haha :P They'll get all the materials on Monday, score them on Tuesday, get them into the computer Wednesday, and post it Thursday :P Haha…I just hope it's still Wednesday. ;-)

The test was *way* easier than last year, but I still don't know if I qualified. :)

Same here bro. I didn't make it into our top 5 scorers. Or..top four…since we had a tie for 4th, I think…so technically there actually wasn't a "top fifth", I guess. Even though Junior and Primary did, even though they had some ties…which confuzzles me…

Anyways, the test didn't seem too bad. I finished it with 20 minutes to spare, and went back over questions I was unsure on. When did you finish?

Hey brotha!

I only had 1 minutes and some seconds to spare!

Did you know all the quetsons?

Did they grade your tests at locals?

Hey everyone… so I thought the test yesterday was super easy. That actually disappointed me because I was hoping for a difficult test :)
But, to God be the glory, I placed 4th at my Local Bee :)

hops onto the forums Locals was awesome! We got to see some really good friends that we hadn't seen in two years (since we went to a different Locals last year). The test was SOOOO much easier than I was expecting! I don't think I qualified for Nats, but we had a good time anyway. :)

I took 3rd in our seniors, out of 7… I guess the top two and I were within 6 points of each other! It'll be fun to see how we all did. :)

You're making me worried. Stop it. :P
Lol!! xP xP
I'm serious though. You're always so pessimistic! :P Sorry. But I think you'll make it. :)
Well, I am sorry. :P But that still made me laugh. xP Ahh, and you're always so optimistic! xP xP

And who was right last year? :)

Nicolas placed 1st in Seniors, Christian placed 2nd in Seniors, Titus tied for 1st with two others in Primary, and I placed 2nd in Junior.

I don't remember if I said it already, but congrats to you guys too! And everyone else! :D :D

I got to the 200th questions with 10-15 minutes to spare, then went back to check several questions. I had to guess on a few, but I tried to use common sense. :P

Most of them, but there were some I had to guess on. My letter of the day is always C. :)

Yeah, and they announced the Top 5 scorers for each category…except for Senior. There were ties in Primary, so there were about 6 or 7, with scores from 1st to 5th highest. In Senior, we had a tie for fourth, but they didn't announce the fifth, for some reason.

I hope Nate makes it. I know he's been working hard.

Wouldn't it be strange (and sad) if no Memverse people made it to Nationals this year? :P

It'd be impossible. Right now, it's basically confirmed that the Minicas, Pentimones, and Alexanders are going, and that's only because I didn't read through all the pages on this thread. I bet a lot more made it too.
