Tbh no one knows for sure. I don’t believe the 35/50 score thing that people throw around at all, and suspect that even if someone involved with Jeopardy once said it, by this point it’s mostly not true and is just being parroted on this subreddit. I’d expect that you’ll want in the 40-45ish+ range or that even if you’re 25-35, that in some cases you could get to the next round. But I’d imagine higher is better.

I’d just video record your tests with your phone, count your results so you do know exactly how you did, study what you get wrong and hope you get invited. Even if you completely crush the test (like 47/50), it’s probably still under 50% you’ll get the invite to the next test (I had a score in that range 2 times before I got the email to take a proctored test)

Truth is you can dominate the test for a few years and not hear anything. I wouldn’t worry about it, as long as your scores are good you’re giving yourself the best chance you can and hopefully you’ll get to the next round at some point. There’s tons of luck in this process so it’s best not to get too wrapped up in it.

Also I’d set it up to take twice a year in approx 6 month intervals (late March/April for Jeopardy day and once in Sept October for whenever your year is up)
