Kids Online Library Books
Posted on Saturday, October 30th, 2010 at 10:45 am
I’m really scared that I might not make Jeopardy Kids. What should I study?
What should I study for the upcoming online test? I have until January 13th, anyways. I want to go to the library and take out books or just read the ones at home so I have higher changes of winning!
I was a two-time Jeopardy champion (June, 2007). Honestly, for the online test, you should go with what you already know. I tried “cramming” before I went on the show, and either nothing I had studied turned up, or in the rare case when it did, I couldn’t remember the answer anyway.
Be sure you know the Presidents and some basic geography. State and world capitals will probably be helpful as well. I notice they tend to ask younger people about popular music and cartoons, too.
Good luck!
P.S. Don’t be scared. It would be quite an achievement to make it to an audition. There’s no shame in it if you don’t. It’s also much harder to get onto these “special” shows, because they only take a total of 15 people. For the regular version, like I was on, they take about 400 people a year. If you make it to an audition for the adult version, they keep you on file for a year.
Go for it!! You have absolutely nothing to lose.
Edit: Uh, OK, what’s with the thumbs down? I was on Jeopardy and am giving accurate advice here. It is actually harder to get on these special shows, like college or kids, because of how few contestants they take. And studying, trust me, really isn’t going to help much.

It’s a pretty big leap of faith to understand that effect unless you personally see a toddler react to the stimulation. The Baby Einstein folks have a series of tapes (Baby Einstein, Baby Bach) that add visual stimulation to … |
