How do you pass the Jeopardy test? ›

As in the official Jeopardy game, contestants must give the response in the form of a question (ie: “Who is Albert Einstein?”). Teams are allowed to discuss responses prior to buzzing in, but all conversations must stop when someone buzzes in.

Test takers do not receive their score. A random selection of passers (generally understood to be those who get 35 or more questions correct) of this exam are later invited to participate in regional in-person auditions.

The long-running trivia show will use repeat questions and returning contestants for the upcoming 40th season. Jeopardy! is making some changes for their upcoming 40th season amid the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike.

You will receive a confirmation that your test has been submitted within 24 hours of taking the test. If you pass the test and qualify for an audition, the Jeopardy! contestant department may contact you any time within one year of your test. Those who do not pass the test will not be contacted.

Your best bet for a response if you just don't know the answer is “What Is China?” — the most common Jeopardy response. In Double Jeopardy, the most common response is “What is Australia?” and “Word Origins” is the most common category in the game.

Each game of Jeopardy! features three contestants competing in three rounds: Jeopardy!, Double Jeopardy!, and Final Jeopardy! In each round, contestants are presented trivia clues phrased as answers, to which they must respond in the form of a question that correctly identifies whatever the clue is describing.

According to "Jeopardy!" rules, spelling does not usually matter — but phonetic pronunciation does: "Written responses to the Final Jeopardy! clue do not have to be spelled correctly, but they must be phonetically correct and not add or subtract any extraneous sounds or syllables."

How does Difficulty Increase within a Round? For every step down the board the correct rate drops by about 7%, from 72% down to 43%.

What is the best way to study for Jeopardy? ›

From the outset, contestants tend to have exceptional natural abilities they are born with and skills they develop, such as very high intelligence, excellent recall memory, superior knowledge of trivia and other facts, and lightning mental and motor reaction times.
