Welcome to the forums, Joanne! I have approved your first post; all future posts will be automatically approved.

I will let someone familiar with the Bee this year respond to your question.

They are posted on the website. If you sort through them to look at your state, you could look for the city/town where you live and find their scores there. Do you have their contestant IDs?

@Rosie - And it's about two hours and thirty minutes less than that for you! :P :P

No wonder Seniors always score higher than Primaries and Juniors; they have more study time!

Hehehe! Not at Locals! :P (and besides, I think Juniors was actually the best-performing group overall in '09-'11. Only when I entered Seniors did that change. :P)

Yeah, he really likes it that he's been in the best-performing group every year. xP Now I'm in it, too!

Pfft. Not that I had anything to do with it…

You know... it's good motivation to keep studying super hard!

Keep studying hard, or study harder? I gotta study harder.

Okay, what you said - study harder. But, I'm pretty much draining my body of energy from studying as much as I have been… ;)

^that sounds weird, but I can't think of a better way to word it.

What then were you referring to, that you must do soon?

As long as I can hold up for another 20 days, I'm good. =) After that, I can get more sleep, and much needed stuff like that. =)

Before I go to bed: Do what is the priority, not what seems the most fun. It's easy sometimes when you have little time to do what seems the easier, just remember to do what will help you the most in the long run.

Dunno if that helps, but I gotta run! bye!

You must identify the most important thing and focus on that one part. In my opinion, that's comprehension of the study book. If you don't understand Nahum, learning Hebrew words and CR's aren't gonna help much. Of course they aid understanding, but you must lay the foundation before building the house. For verses, I would try to perfect all passages less than 5 verses.

Okay…I'll see how well it works out. Though, if anything, the area I am furthest behind in is my studying of Nahum. (You do not want to know where I am in it…)

Three things:

  1. Don't think about memorizing anything 3+ cards, unless you want to.
  2. Memorize Nahum
  3. Understand Nahum and deeply analyze it. Analysis + explanation = understanding.

I'm finishing my last long passage tomorrow, so no troubles there.
Memorize Nahum?? I had considered that, but I'll be so busy trying to perfect my verses, I don't know if I'll have time to do that. But if I can do that, I will.
I am currently using John Calvin and John Owen's commentary on Nahum, and Logos for everything else.

I need to head to bed now. Thank you for your suggestions; they are very appreciated. :)

Oh, I didn't know that. Great! Then don't focus on the long ones.
Listen to it every day. It doesn't need to be perfect and you don't need to make a conscious effort to memorize it.
Good, there are some tricky parts in Nahum.

Do all that and you'll be pretty prepared.
You're welcome.
