[edit] Steps

[edit] Before Auditioning

  1. Improve Your Memory .
  2. Watch Jeopardy every day for a year or more and play along. Make six-by-five grids so that you can mark, and then improve, your skills and weaknesses.
  3. Be able to score $28,000 or more most days; then you can audition if you want to. It's not a good idea to audition when you don't. Up the number $4,000 or $6,000 if you get nervous easily.
  4. Know: Languages, literature, Shakespeare, U.S. presidents, capitals, religons, artists, history, composers and geography. To a lesser extent, know pop culture and sports.

[edit] At the Audition

  1. Follow instructions.
  2. Have fun.
  3. Look lively.

[edit] At the Show

  1. Read the question faster than Alex Trebek.
  2. Despite what people tell you, press the buzzer after Alex finishes speaking, not after a light goes on. After that, keep on pressing it.


[edit] Tips

  • Lots of questions are in the format of: A (nationality) (occupation.) For example Ismael Kadare is an Albanian novelist. Have a friend test you on this kind of stuff.
  • People will be loud when the show is being filmed. Hold a radio by you as you practice to get used to this.
  • Be a good sport.
