You got 9 out of 15!

Jeopardy! has kept us occupied on television for so long that a lot of us must have dreamed of going on the show to be one of the contestants. Obviously, winning is not an easy task. You must be aware of information on different topics, without knowing what they will question you on. To ease this huge challenge, here are some secrets from behind-the-scenes.

You may think that the hardest part of the show is answering the questions, but it may actually be getting picked to be a contestant. There are so many applicants who do the online quiz for the show in an attempt to qualify, about 80,000 in fact. Even that quiz is tough, with you having just 15 seconds to answer each question. Only 4% of the applicant pool gets selected, which works out to about 3,000. So, good luck!

In this quiz that mimics the actual show, we've got real questions from Jeopardy! lined up for you. Find out if you've got what it takes to square up against like-minded competitors.
